A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
Though the release of the ASUS Chromebook Flip has been pushed back a bit from the initial listing we found over on Amazon, it is still one of the most anticipated Chromebook releases for 2020 and it is only a month away at this point. There’s little left to learn about this Chromebook aside from […]
Google recently added a massive number of high-res satellite images from Google Earth to their web-based library called Earth View. As a matter of fact, over 1000 new images were added according to a post by Google on The Keyword and that brings the total to over 2500 total images. You may know of Earth […]
We’re constantly looking around for new tricks to make our Chromebooks even more capable than they’ve already become over the past couple of years. Every day, there are fewer use-cases where a Windows or Mac device is a necessity and we truly believe that Chrome OS will eventually offer comparable alternatives to that narrowing space. […]
![3 web apps I use every single day on my Chromebook [VIDEO]](https://chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/3webAppsEveryDayUse.jpg)
I get asked quite often what things I use on my Chromebook. The truth is, I leverage Android and Linux very little as I am a bit of a web purist. If I can accomplish a task via some sort of web service, that is where I am headed. When I started my Chromebook journey […]
On this week’s episode of The Chrome Cast, we discussed the very good possibility that Chromebooks could soon feature discrete GPUs. Robby uncovered a new device in development that clearly references a dGPU and that led us to throw out some theory about Chrome OS and the ability to utilize external GPUs. Check it out […]
I’ve repeatedly said that the large collection of ‘Hatch’-based Chromebooks (think Samsung Galaxy Chromebook, ASUS Flip C436, etc.) would only grow as 2020 wore on. We’re not even to the point where the first of these Chromebooks based on the ‘Hatch’ baseboard are up for purchase and already more are being added to the pile. […]
As of late, it looks like Google, Intel and hardware manufacturers are working hard to get Chrome OS on to a similar roadmap as other operating systems. With two new devices already on board with Project Athena, it’s an exciting time for Chrome OS fans as devices are now enjoying the same current-gen internals as […]
Of all the things we saw at CES 2020, one of the most impressive was the diminutive tablet from Lenovo that runs Chrome OS. At the show it was labeled the Lenovo Ideapad Duet Chromebook, but we were told by a representative that it will be marketed as the Lenovo Chromebook Duet here in the […]
Quite a bit of news came out about the ASUS Chromebook C436 yesterday, from expectations we have about the new device at CES next week to its passage through the FCC, it seems we’ll know all we want about ASUS’ latest flagship Chromebook very soon.

The big day is almost here and as many of us finish up last-minute shopping and preparations for Christmas, the Jolly Old Elf himself is packing up and preparing to make his annual trip around the globe.

![Why you should buy the Google Nest Mini instead of the Home Mini every time [VIDEO]](https://chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/nestHomeMiniGoogleBetterSecondGen-2000x1125.jpg)
Back in October at Google’s Hardware event, one of the new pieces of hardware was a discrete, modest, but very meaningful update to the cheapest in-home device in Google’s lineup: the Google Home Mini. That device is single-handedly responsible for the ingress of the Google Assistant into countless homes due to its diminutive size and […]
A few months back, it was discovered that Google was working to bring Bluetooth battery levels to Chrome OS for connected peripherals. I don’t know about you, but guessing at the battery level of my headphones, keyboard and mouse isn’t exactly my idea of fun. With more detachable and tablet devices on the way in […]
