A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
This week on The Chrome Cast, we’re still stuck in Pixel 6 land. We warned you that it would be a Pixel party until the 19th and here we sit, just days out from the final unveiling. In the last week, more leaks came up, more specs were verified, and more hype was generated on […]
This morning, Acer is set to host their latest Global Press Conference titled ‘Made for Humanity’. At the event, we expect to see new consumer devices ranging from laptops to desktops, Chromebooks to gaming PCs and maybe even some peripheral hardware.

When there’s a major current event such as a natural disaster or something everyone is talking about, the first place most people think to check these days for ongoing updates regarding it is Twitter. Tweeting things out is fast, and those close to the scene usually have valuable insights into the situation as they provide […]
Deep down, I’m a sucker for a great website. Before founding Chrome Unboxed, my 9-5 was web design and development. To be fair, my focus was far more front-end design than it was development, but I did a bit of both along the way. For me, it was always about UI, UX, and style. Did […]

We’ve talked about this before, but there was a time not that long ago when Chromebooks were developed and built on SoCs (system on a chip) that were already on the way out for Windows laptops and Macbooks. Over time, Chromebooks started getting closer to launching with the latest chips from Intel, but it took […]
We’re still waiting on the promised next-gen MediaTek-powered Chromebooks to show up, but to be fair, that promise was made for Q4 of 2021. We’ve not quite made it to Q4, so Chromebooks powered by the MediaTek Kompanio 820 and 1200 aren’t technically due out just yet, but we should be getting very close at […]
