A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
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 […]
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 […]
Whether you know all about USI (universal stylus initiative), have never heard about it, or are itching to know more, you really need to tune in for this episode of The Chrome Cast. We were fortunate enough to have a fantastic and detailed conversation about the history, current status, and future of USI with none […]
I remember a day when finding one new Chromebook development board was cause for celebration and excitement. I remember the thrill of the hunt and the days following a new find, filled with digging and questions around what this new Chromebook would end up becoming. Those were simpler days and we always knew there would […]
![All the upcoming Chrome OS devices and boards we’re tracking right now [UPDATE: 9/4/2020]](https://chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/NewWaveChromebooksEarly2020-2000x1125.jpg)
UPDATE – 9/4/2020: Based on the recent finds, we’re adding quite a few devices to the mix today. We have some Tiger Lake Chromebooks, some AMD Chromebooks, some new MediaTek 8183 Chromebooks, and some Jasper Lake Chromebooks to add to the ever-expanding list in this update, so take a look! From time to time, it […]
It’s no secret that we’ve been waiting an awfully long time for AMD-powered Chromebooks to show up. Sure, we got a little nibble about a year and a half ago when the low-powered, cost-effective A4 and A6 devices showed up, but that’s not what we’re really after. We’re way more excited by the far-more-powerful Ryzen […]
At this point in 2020, we have a lot of Chromebooks in different development phases. From a slew of ‘Hatch’ (10th-gen Intel) Chromebooks yet to launch to many more MediaTek-powered devices like the Lenovo Chromebook Duet to the AMD-powered ‘Zork’ devices and more, there are enough new Chromebooks on the horizon to make any Chrome […]
Since their inception, the Pixelbook line of Chromebooks has largely stayed in the premium lane. Sure, the Pixelbook Go was a tad bit of a departure from that formula, but not much of one. After all, the top trim of that device costs a cool $1399 and is easily one of the most expensive Chromebooks […]
