This Chromebook does what most affordable Chromebooks do: get you to the basics on the lowest possible budget. If you’re looking for a small, portable, fun little device to do basic web-based tasks like social media, banking […]
If you’ve been around here for any amount of time, you’ve likely been made aware of my affinity for Google’s hardware. I like nearly everything they’ve made in-house (Pixel Slate aside) and I’ve been a Pixel phone owner since the very first model. I’ve taken pride in the camera and suffered dejection with the poor […]
Let’s take a trip down memory lane, shall we? Near the beginning of my interest in Chromebooks, Google made a somewhat-odd decision to shack up with HP and make the decidedly-Google-y HP Chromebook 11.

When we were reviewing the handful of newer AMD Chromebooks earlier this year, I noticed some strange benchmark scores and simply chalked them up to benchmarks being benchmarks. After all, if a device feels snappy and gets through my standard workload without breaking much of a sweat, I feel confident that performance isn’t really an […]
Chrome 90 for desktop began rolling out yesterday and if you missed it, you aren’t alone. There aren’t a ton of big, new features for end users to get excited about and that is a bit expected with the latest version. With Chrome OS turning 10 as the Chrome 89 upgrade cycle hit last month, […]

The Chromecast with Google TV gets a whole lot right, but there are still a handful of things most users would like to see added to the experience. Probably the most-requested addition would be the ability for multiple users to be able to sign in and swap between their accounts at will. In a perfect […]
Thanks to a bit of digging around by Kevin Tofel over at About Chromebooks, some new additions have surfaced in the details of an upcoming detachable Chromebook code named ‘Homestar’. We’ve talked a bit about this device in the past, noting at its arrival in the Chromium Repositories that it was in the same line […]
For many users, Google Photos on the web is the way they view, organize and share their pictures and videos. I’m one of those and when it comes to messing with my photos and videos via Google Photos, I find myself in the web portal more often than not. I like the interface, I like […]
