Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
We are mere hours away from Google’s Pixel Fall Launch Event and while there’s little left to learn about the new Tensor-powered phones, we’re chomping at the bit to see the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro in action. Better yet, we’re beside ourselves at the thought of actually getting our hands on Google’s latest flagship […]
Last week, we received a tip that Lenovo’s upcoming Snapdragon-powered Duet 5 Chromebook tablet would soon be arriving at select Costco stores. We don’t have a solid release date for that model at this time and the 13.3″ tablet has yet to show up on Costco’s website. Thankfully, this isn’t the only configuration of the […]
When we unbox a new Chromebook to start the review process, one of the first things we check is the quality of the speakers. Why? Well, because we use our Chrome OS laptops as our primary devices and having decent speakers is a big deal. Unfortunately, premium audio in a Chromebook is the exception, not […]
Look, we absolutely love Google hardware. Seriously. Collectively, we have owned every single piece of hardware that has come out of Mountain View. (Well, not Clips because… well… Clips.) That said, there are times when it just doesn’t make sense to spend money on a brand name when there are comparable products available for a […]
Here at Chrome Unboxed, we work hard but we also love to play hard. Whether we’re teeing up to the golf simulator or jumping into our daily lunch match of PUBG Mobile, we’re all about striking that work-life balance. When you spend as much time in front of a desk as we do, it’s important […]
For weeks, the most powerful Chromebook on the planet has eluded me as I daily search for active listings of the ASUS Chromebook CX9. Since its announcement months ago, only ASUS proper has listed the Chromebook as available but the powerful Tiger Lake laptop was quickly sold out with the painful “Notify Me” button taking […]
Acer just wrapped up the latest next@acer global press event. This year’s theme, Made for Humanity, features a plethora of products to fit the needs of creators to consumers and everyone in between. For those looking for all of the new goodies from Acer, I’ll drop the full press release at the end of this […]
The holiday shopping season is waiting in the wings and soon, we’ll start seeing Black Friday ads EVERYWHERE. Lucky for us, Chromebook deals aren’t hard to find and this week, we have a new round of devices that have been knocked down as much as $300. Whatever your use-case or personal taste, there’s a little […]
We’re about one-third of the way into the month that Lenovo promised we’d see the release of the highly-anticipated Duet 5 Chromebook tablet. Rocking a 13.3″ OLED display and detachable keyboard, the Duet 5 will be the first of its kind in the Chrome OS space and we have high hopes that it could help […]
Looking for one of the most powerful 2-in-1 Chromebooks you can buy? You’re in luck. ASUS has finally launched the Core i7 version of the company’s ultra-premium Chromebook Flip CX5400 and it’s actually priced to sell. To clarify, this is the more powerful iteration of the 14″ Core i5 model that Robby unboxed a few […]
Last year, I laid out my reasoning for why the nostalgia-inducing Atari VCS console could very well be my next Chromebox. With hundreds of retro games, access to streaming game services, a built-in Chrome browser, and a full-blown PC Mode, there’s very little this console doesn’t offer. The Atari VCS launched a few months back […]
HP has continued to make a splash with new iterations of the company’s popular Chromebook x360 14 and this year’s Tiger Lake model is no exception. Despite the popularity of the premium convertible Chromebook, HP never release a clamshell variant featuring Intel Core CPUs unless you count the Pro c640 but that device was aimed […]
