A few days ago, Lenovo began to make good on its promise of multiple Chromebooks for 2014. Officially unveiled and targeted at the education market, the Lenovo Thinkpad 11e and Thinkpad 11e Yoga are the first two of (hopefully) many Chrome OS models unveiled by Lenovo this year.

Continue ReadingChromebook RAM Comparison – 2GB vs. 4GB
In this video, I compare two Chromebooks with similar internals, save one difference: RAM. The HP Chromebook 14 comes with 4B (on this model, anyway) while the Acer C720P comes with 2GB. All in all, you’ll see that there is a performance difference. However, depending on your use-case, the difference may not affect you at […]

I admit, after a bit of research, I’m a bit behind the times on this one. However, I wanted to share it so that some others may be able to take advantage of this great app in the event that you missed out on the info. The app, Avia, is available for free from the […]
Continue ReadingThe Need For a Mid-Range Chromebook
The Chromebook space is in a bit of a pigeon hole right now. As manufacturers slowly begin to embrace the idea of Chrome OS and Chromebooks, they all seem to be attracted to the same perk: low-cost machines that still perform well. In all honesty, that is a part of the Chromebook world that I […]

In this video I take a look at both the HP Chromebook 11 and the HP Chromebook 14 side-by-side to give a bit of insight on why I think the 14-incher is a better device all around. You may be different. Perhaps the 11-inch model is best for you. But you need to watch to […]

Continue ReadingAcer C720P [White] Unboxing
In this video I get my hands on the much anticipated Acer C720P-2600. All that alpha-numeric noise simply means it’s white and it has a touchscreen! A small bummer is the 2GB of RAM, but I’ll reserve my opinion on that for the full review. Mean while, check out my initial impressions of this little […]
Continue ReadingLG’s Chromebase – What’s It Worth?
So, as CES is in full swing this week, the Chromebook news has been a bit, well, sparse. In all, there have only been 2 devices that made an official showing: the Toshiba Chromebook and LG’s Chromebase. Both of these devices have been detailed around the internet for some time, but this is the […]

As CES 2014 is chugging along, the Toshiba Chromebook seems to be the only Chrome OS device making any appearance so far. If I am lucky enough to get this site and my YouTube channel really going, perhaps I’ll be at CES one day, digging for the latest Chrome-based news. For now I’m in my […]

I just came across this useful little nugget this morning. While I’ve heard that it is pretty simple to upgrade the SSD in the Acer C720 Chromebook, I’ve not looked into the process until now. And while I don’t currently own this device, the relative ease with which this is accomplished gives me a bit […]
