Robby’s wrapping up his full review of ASUS’ new Tiger Lake-powered Chromebook CX5 so I’ll try to keep the spoilers to a minimum.

The 11.6″ Flex model showed up on Lenovo’s website last month for $319. This week, Best Buy has listed two configurations of the 14″ model and they are available for purchase should you find […]
I love to tinker. I spend a good portion of my week fiddling around with the Linux container on Chrome OS just to see what I can or can’t do with Crostini. While I’m no Linux guru, I have become fairly handy at navigating the terminal app and living in the “command line.” The Linux […]
We’ve spent some time talking about Chromeboxes lately because they make great work or at-home desktops without breaking the bank.
