A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
We’ve come across some interesting info regarding a new board, codenamed ‘Reef’. What we know about it thus far is pretty sparse, but one particular characteristic of this board is very interesting.
If you’re looking to try out the increasingly popular cord-cutting lifestyle, Sling TV is offering up a free Google Nest Hub when you try out their streaming service for three months. Owned by Dish Network, Sling TV was the first internet-based television subscription service to this the US market and at the end of 2018, […]
Well, the time has come to address the elephant in the room. October has long passed and with it Google’s annual hardware event. As expected, the Pixel Slate, a.k.a. ‘Nocturne’ made its debut. Love it or hate it, the “tablet first” Chromebook #MadeByGoogle is the belle of the ball at the moment and clearly the […]
On just about a daily basis, I check the Samsung Chromebook Pro to see if “Crostini” has finally been enabled to bring me the new evolution of Linux app support.

It’s easy to get excited about the “next big thing” in Chrome OS. Styli, detachables and tablets. (Oh My!) These things are fabulous and we love them. But, latest and greatest do not an ecosystem make.
We recently shared news of another convertible device, code named ‘Snappy’, that looks to be adding stylus support. The new Chromebook is being manufactured by an ODM making it a little tricky to pinpoint the final namesake of the device.
