Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
Here we are again. It seems like only yesterday that Robby took to his keyboard to clear up some relatively common misconceptions about how Chromebook motherboards are developed and more importantly how they are named. It all started when rumors started making their way around the web about a certain Chromebook in development code-named ‘Zork’. […]
A new, upcoming line of Chromebooks is coming at some point in the relatively-near future that will likely shake up the competition. We’ve talked about them for quite some time, but we’re still sitting and waiting for higher-end AMD-powered Chromebooks to arrive on the scene. Sure, we’ve had the low-end A4 and A6 chips in […]
It has been a little over a year since AMD officially made its debut on Chrome OS hardware. While the low-powered Stoney Ridge A4 and A6 APUs have found their home in EDU and budget devices, we’ve been holding out hope that AMD would bring a more-powerful option to the party. For some time, we […]
AMD’s entrance into the Chrome OS space may not have carried with it the fanfare many of us were hoping for but the education-focused devices unveiled at CES 2019 were a smart play by manufacturers looking to give AMD a foothold in a market dominated almost entirely by Intel. The low-powered AMD APUs found in […]
While we expect to find out more specifics in the coming weeks at CES 2021 – virtually, of course – it looks like we might be in for at least two flagship-level ASUS Chromebooks in the early parts of 2021 in the form of ‘Woomax’ and ‘Delbin’. In the event you are unaware, Chromebooks come […]

UPDATE – 11/30/2020: We’ve added a new section for AMD devices that will feature the upcoming Ryzen 5000U and added a few more device names to accompany the devices we know they belong to. Additionally, we’ve added a new section to track Intel 10th-gen Comet Lake Chromeboxes, too. Finally, we’ve put a handful of new […]
![Expect an absolute avalanche of Chromebooks in all shapes and sizes in 2021 [VIDEO]](https://chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ChromebookChromeOS.jpg)
We can all agree that 2020 hasn’t exactly been the best year. One for the record books? Sure. But for all the wrong reasons. While it’s turned out to be a year that most of us would like to forget, I’m reminded that even in the midst of mess, there can be good there, too. […]
As we round out 2020 and begin looking to 2021, we’re in a very interesting time in the Chromebook story. Coming up on 10 years of existence, Chromebooks have hit a stride that I only dreamed of a few years ago. Back then, getting one ‘nice’ Chromebook in any 6 month period was cause for […]
Earlier this month, Lenovo unveiled their new Chromebook geared towards the enterprise in the ThinkPad C13 Yoga Chromebook. It is – as the name implies – a convertible laptop in the ThinkPad family that comes equipped with some standout, unique features for the Chrome OS ecosystem. Just as we saw the first Snapdragon-powered Chromebook in […]
We’re nearing the release of more AMD-powered Chromebooks in Q4 of 2020 with the announcement of a couple of them already in the rear view mirror. HP has their new Pro C645 Chromebook and Lenovo just debuted the ThinkPad C13 Yoga Chromebook Enterprise, both with the new Ryzen C-series processors in-tow. While you can’t get […]
Do you remember a few years ago when the idea of gaming on a Chromebook was a laughable one? I do. I’m not exactly a hardcore gamer or anything, but I always wished there were a few more options for Chromebooks than just web-based games. While I once thought Android would help to solve that […]
After our conversation today with USI Chairman Peter Mueller over on The Chrome Cast, there’s a part of the USI (universal stylus initiative) narrative that has been clarified for me that is quite exciting and I’m so glad to be able to share a bit more detail. To this point, the only USI pens we’ve […]
