Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
Here we are again. It seems like only yesterday that Robby took to his keyboard to clear up some relatively common misconceptions about how Chromebook motherboards are developed and more importantly how they are named. It all started when rumors started making their way around the web about a certain Chromebook in development code-named ‘Zork’. […]
When Best Buy recently dropped the price of Samsung’s ultra-premium Galaxy Chromebook to $799, I was confident that it was just a matter of time before Samsung rolled out a deal of its own. I’m happy to say that my gut feeling was spot on. It only took a couple of days for Samsung to […]
We just wrapped up our annual “Best of” video highlighting our top picks for the Chromebook segments ranging from budget to ultra-premium. Despite 2020 be the most bizarre year in recent history, the options for getting a great Chromebook in any price range are better than ever before and we still have two months to […]
Last week, Robby laid out a very good contingency plan in the unfortunate event you should misplace or lose the remote to your new Chromecast w/Google TV. While this will work in a pinch, chances are decent that some streamers at some point are going to have a remote go missing for good and will […]
Acer’s premium Chromebook Spin 713 just fell to $549 over at Best Buy and that is, in our opinion, the best Chromebook you can buy for the money. That said, many shoppers are looking for something under $400 that still offers a lot of the great features found in a 10th Gen Comet Lake flagship […]
New day, new deals. We’re busy rounding up some great deals on Chromebooks and smart home devices but I wanted to get this out there so you can take advantage of this promotion before it’s gone. Lenovo’s Chromebook Duet may not be the “best” Chromebook of 2020 but it is most certainly one of the […]
It was just September when Robby stumbled upon a new feature that would bring native screen recording and an entirely revamped capture tool to Chrome OS. In recent weeks, the screen capture tool landed in the Canary channel and the screenshot tool has actually worked for quite some time. With it, you take fullscreen or […]
It has been a little less than three months since we discovered a new feature being developed for Chrome OS that will give users device-specific statistics, real-time resource usage, and diagnostic tools in one native system web app. To avoid any confusion, this is not the “connectivity diagnostics” app that we recently reported. This feature […]
We knew that Samsung’s flagship Galaxy Chromebook was going to see a steep discount for Black Friday but I did not expect this deal to pop up this early. However, thanks to Best Buy’s “early access” deals, you can pick up the sleek, Project Athena Chromebook and save $200. There is one catch but don’t […]
This month-long version of Black Friday means deals are coming and going fast enough to make your head spin. While I’m sure that we’re in store for more significant Chromebook deals as the actual Black Friday draws near, one particular device has gone on sale today that you may want to consider. This may not […]
Intel’s 11th Gen Tiger Lake CPUs could very well usher in the next monumental evolution of Chrome OS but the current 10th Gen Comet Lake Chrome OS devices are where it’s at and that’s perfectly fine. Until Chrome OS and its companion operating systems, Linux and Android can fully leverage GPU horsepower, the upcoming Xe […]
I told you I’d be back and here I am for round two of today’s early Black Friday deals. Today, we found some serious discounts on our three favorite Google Assistant smart devices from Lenovo. Regardless of your budget or personal needs, there is a device on this list for just about everyone and you […]
