Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
Assistant smart displays have become more and more common over the past year and there are now devices to fit most anyone’s wants or needs. If you know me, you know that my favorite digital smart display is the Lenovo Smart Clock. It isn’t the most full-featured display on the market but when you consider […]
I awoke this morning to a surprise email from YouTube letting me know that I had a free Nest Mini smart speaker waiting for me at the Google Store. This isn’t the first time that Google has pawned off some free Assistant speakers to users of the company’s paid subscription services. This is the second […]
Looking to upgrade your home wi-fi? Google’s Nest mesh routers are a great choice. We have a router and add-on point here at the office and there hasn’t been a single instance where we’ve found the coverage or speed lacking in any way. As an added bonus, the add-on “points” double as pretty decent Google […]
As the name implies, the Universal Stylus Initiative, or USI, is looking to make PC pen tech more “universal”. Our first experience the HP’s USI stylus that works with Chromebooks equipped with USI tech in the digitizer was, well, less-than-favorable. Because our pen was an early pre-production review unit, we’ve saved our final judgment on […]
![Hands-on with Dell’s new wireless keyboard made for Chromebooks [VIDEO]](https://cdn-0.chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/dellWirelessKeyboardChromebooks.jpg)
A keyboard is a keyboard, right? I mean, in the grand scheme of things, we’ve all become pretty accustom to using a keyboard. Whether its on a laptop, desktop, on a screen, or as part of a folio case, the ubiquitous keyboard is a part of everyday life for many of us. So, when one […]
We’ve been tracking the development of Comet Lake Chromeboxes for a few months now. So, when this news came across the wire, I thought ASUS had beat everyone else out of the gate. Much to my disappointment, that was not the case at all. Still, new Chrome OS hardware is exciting and these are no […]
At CES 2020 back in January, we spent some time in the inviting surroundings of Lenovo’s private suite where we got our hands on the Duet tablet and the Lenovo Flex 5 Chromebook. Those weren’t the only cool gadgets spread about the room, however. We got to play with a Lavie Vega PC that is […]
Chrome OS accessories are slowly but sure becoming easier to find. Just last week, we discovered that Dell has launched its own wireless Chrome OS keyboard and we’ve got one here in the office to bring you a full review in the very near future. However, Brydge’s all-aluminum C-Type keyboard for Chrome OS is still […]
Google’s Pixel Buds TWS headphones appear to be doing well with consumers. The majority of tech reviewers have offered up a lot of praise for Google’s second, vastly-improved wireless earbuds and the lack of inventory at practically every store that sells them tells me that consumers have taken notice. As a matter of fact, the […]
Chrome OS is finally getting some attention from the makers of peripherals and accessories. While most keyboards, mice, trackpads and such work well when paired with a Chromebook, it wasn’t until recently that we started seeing a fair amount of accessories made specifically designed for Chrome OS. The “Works with Chromebook” branding has been adopted […]
When the Pixel Buds were announced in October of 2019, I’ll never forget how overjoyed I was at the proposition. A pair of light, attractive, feature-rich earbuds made specifically for Android phones was just the type of Bluetooth accessory I was after. I’ve been through many earbuds – wired and wireless – and one thing […]
Earlier this month, I wrote a post speaking to the lack of Android Fast Pair functionality between the new Pixel Buds and Chrome OS. With the idea of Fast Pair giving users a way to tie Bluetooth devices to their Google account for use in multiple places on multiple devices, I was hopeful that after […]
