Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
About 8 hours ago I wrote a post bemoaning Google’s fumble out of the gate with Stadia invite codes. I was already not much of a fan of the whole invite system, but the fact that I’d plunked down my money for the Founders Edition immediately following the very first Stadia Connect meant I expected […]
The day is finally here! Stadia is officially ‘launched’ and users are receiving their controllers left and right. My Founders Edition box showed up on my porch around 11am this morning and I was so excited to get it unboxed, get the controller in my hands, and get my shiny new Chromecast Ultra hooked up […]
![HP has multiple new Chromebook x360 models, so do your homework [VIDEO]](https://chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/HPChromebookX360ModelsExplained.jpg)
As we approach the holidays, HP has followed the lead of other Chromebook manufacturers in making multiple models of essentially the same Chromebook to offer different pricing structures for consumers. With different internal hardware, swapped out build materials, multiple screen variations, and overall distinctly-different user experiences, the HP Chromebook x360 is not the simple recommendation […]
In a move that is a tad different than some of the other retailers out there, Google has chosen to keep Black Friday contained to Thanksgiving Day and the day after. So many other stores have just opened up the gates already, and while I am a fan of just putting things on sale in […]
Stadia launches in one day. One day and we’ll be able to finally try out the service for ourselves and, if I’m being honest, it feels a bit like Christmas Eve around here. I’ve been relentlessly clicking into the Google Store to see if my Founder’s Edition has shipped yet, and even though it hasn’t, […]
Not long ago, Anker announced a small and likely forgettable little accessory that I’ve been pretty excited about. The Anker PowerPort Atom is a tiny charging block that delivers true Power Delivery over USB Type C at 30W and is about the size of a standard iPhone Charger. While not a full 45W laptop charger, […]
![Dell’s Latitude Chromebook Enterprise devices are great, but probably not for you [VIDEO]](https://chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/dellLatitudeChromebookEnterprise-1800x1125.jpg)
Two new devices from Dell have put me in probably the oddest position I’ve ever been in as a reviewer of tech devices. For the first time ever, I’m forced to tell general consumers across the board that a device isn’t a good fit for them. The strange part is these Chromebooks aren’t bad and […]
This week, right in the middle of a 7-day stretch between November 12th and November 19th, we sit down to discuss the way the streaming media landscape is poised to change in massive ways during this relatively nondescript week on the calendar. With Disney+ now officially launched and Google Stadia only days away, the way […]
Chrome OS has definitely gone through its share of growing pains over the years. From big issues in printing to janky Android app inclusion, the developers behind Chrome OS have overcome many stumbles and issues to get the OS where it is today. That isn’t to say the experience is without its problems, however, and […]
We haven’t talked about the ‘Hatch’ family of Chromebooks that much in the past few weeks. After months of adding features, spinning off more devices in development, and generally being recognized as the torch bearer for the new generation of Chromebooks, we’re reaching the point where ‘Hatch’-based devices are nearing a release point. While we […]
The Stadia Reddit AMA is going on right now and the biggest question on everyone’s mind heading into the session was clearly asked in about 100 different ways: “If my Founders Edition isn’t set to arrive until after the launch date, when can I start actually playing?” The answer is clear, and you might not […]
Yesterday, Disney+ was unveiled to the world and around our office, at least, it was absolutely the center of interest. For many, just logging into Disney+ and realizing the sheer volume of great content that sits before you is reason enough to be buzzing just a bit. With new shows like The Mandalorian and existing […]
