A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
Back to school deals are starting to trickle down from retailers and manufacturers and soon, you’ll be able to find a great deal on just about any Chromebook of your choice. Even now, you can find some respectable deals on new Chromebooks ranging from the most basic to premium that can save you as much […]
Today is the day that Google has scheduled the next milestone release of the Chrome browser for desktop. While we haven’t seen Chrome 92 on our non-Chromebook devices as of yet, I suspect that the update will begin rolling out to users as the day progresses. With this update, Google is bringing more user-friendly tools […]
It has been less than a week since Google re-rolled out version 91.0.4472.147 of Chrome OS. When the incremental version was initially released, it contained a CPU-crippling bug that left many devices all but useless with processing power maxed out at 100% for no explicable reason. As critical as this bug was, a new problem […]
It’s hard to believe but it’s that time of year again. The back-to-school shopping season is upon us and the return to the classroom is right around the corner for many students. That means that it is time for some Chromebook deals and Best Buy has dropped a few that can save you up to […]
Last month, Lenovo unveiled its latest Chrome OS devices powered by Intel’s 11th Gen Tiger Lake CPUs. While we were surprised by the all-new 14″ Chromebook 5i, we knew that a refreshed version of the popular Chromebook Flex 5 would be in the mix. Just recently, the Pentium version of the new Flex 5i turned […]
Earlier this week, Robby made the case for buying a budget-friendly device from Lenovo. While this Chromebook isn’t anything fancy, catching it on a steep discount can net you a great device. The model he reviews was the Lenovo Chromebook 3 that comes with a Full HD TN panel and the same MediaTek processor found […]
In late December of 2020, Robby discovered a new device in the works that could add a new “twist” to the rare all-in-one Chrome OS form-factor. At that time, there were very few details on the new device. While it was being cloned from the ‘Puff” Chromebox baseboard, the addition of a touchscreen and ambient […]
Last month, Samsung quietly announced the all-new Galaxy Chromebook Go that would presumably be the next device in the company’s budget-friendly line of Chrome OS devices. Powered by the latest small core Jasper Lake CPU from Intel, the Galaxy Chromebook Go appears to be a successor to the Samsung Chromebook 4 and 4+ but the […]
At the end of June, Google pushed out an incremental update to Chrome OS 91. Almost immediately, users learned that the update came with a nasty little bug that was taxing the CPU on a wide range of Intel and AMD-based devices. Shortly thereafter, the Chrome OS team rolled back the update server which allowed […]
Late last month, Lenovo took the wraps off of its latest Chromebooks that come bearing the 11th Gen Tiger Lake CPUs from Intel. The first of the two devices is little more than a refresh of last year’s budget-friendly Chromebook Flex 5 with the updated processors. While we would have loved to have seen a […]
It won’t be long and we’ll be dropping our list of the top Chromebooks of the first half of 2021. While no “official” decisions have been made, it’s going to be a tough battle to beat out Acer’s latest Spin 713. The 11th gen Tiger Lake convertible brings back all the great features from last […]
Last week, numerous Chromebook users reported a CPU-crippling bug had arrived in the latest incremental update to version 91 of Chrome OS. Shortly thereafter, Google pumped the brakes on the update and paused the server which essentially reverted the most current version of Chrome OS to the previous 91.0.4472.114 that rolled out in mid-June. For […]
