A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
HP was the first to let the cat out of the bag with its announcement of the first AMD Ryzen Chromebooks headed to markets later this year but AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) had some news to share of their own about these new chipsets that are built on the Zen architecture. The Athlon and Ryzen […]
HP dropped some exciting news today with the release of the first-ever AMD Ryzen-powered Chromebooks but that wasn’t the only Chrome OS news to come from PC giant. As we expected based on a spec sheet that was leaked a bit early, HP has officially announced the industry’s first Chromebox mini PC powered by Intel’s […]
Hard to believe but it has been nearly two years since the first AMD Chromebooks made their debut at CES in Las Vegas. It seems like only yesterday that we were talking about the fact that it was time for AMD to enter the Chromebook space but when they did, it was, unfortunately, underwhelming. Our […]
There’s something to be said about simplicity and that’s exactly what the Samsung Chromebook 4 has to offer. The 11.6″ Chromebook isn’t the fanciest Chromebook on the market but what it does feature is a great entry-level processor and a wallet-friendly price tag. Like its larger sibling, the Chromebook 4+, the Samsung Chromebook 4 is […]
Well, she had a good run. Google’s flagship Pixelbook 2-in-1 Chromebook is no longer available via the Google Store or Best Buy, for that matter. Navigating to Google’s online storefront and clicking into the landing page for the iconic Pixelbook will present you with the news that it is “out of stock” but a report […]
Slowly but surely, we’re starting to see wider availability of pens bearing the Universal Stylus Initiative stamp of approval.

Lenovo, […]
Well over a year ago, Adobe announced the debut of Premiere Rush on the Google Play Store.

It has been quite a while since Google’s Nearby Sharing feature snuck its way into the Chromium repository. While Nearby Sharing hasn’t been live for Android users for very long, it looks like the Chrome OS team is hard at it getting the file-sharing feature working for Chromebooks. The Nearby Share flag popped up in […]
Short and sweet. USI styluses are finally hitting the consumer market and the latest model to start shipping is the affordable pen made by Lenovo. Much to my surprise, Lenovo’s USI stylus did not sell out like every other brand available. My guess is the company waited long enough to stockpile a decent inventory and […]
It has been nearly ten months since we uncovered evidence that developers were working on new Chromeboxes based on the 10th Gen Intel Comet Lake family of processors. We are currently tracking no less than three Comet Lake Chromeboxes in development but we’ve yet to see or hear anything from OEMs indicating a new Chromebox […]
Earlier this week, Google and Best Buy quietly teamed up to bring the Stadia streaming game service to retail stores. Best Buy didn’t list an official launch date for the Clearly White controller and Chromecast Ultra but it appears that the wait was a short one. I checked this morning and the Stadia Premiere Edition […]
