Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
It’s no secret that Chromebooks haven’t had the best cameras over the years. Not only has the hardware been mediocre at best, the software experience powering those lenses has always been a bit barren of features. As most Chromebooks tend to simply come with a standard 720p webcam as their main shooter, it makes sense […]
While we still don’t yet know the availability information on ‘Coachz’, it’s not stopping us from getting very excited about the eventual release of this Chrome OS tablet. With an absolute treasure trove of features (fingerprint scanner, wireless charging USI pen, 11-inch 3:2 QHD display, Snapdragon 7c processor, kickstand), this tablet is already lining itself […]
![Every upcoming Chromebook in development we’re keeping up with right now [UPDATE: 3/4/2021]](https://chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/NewWaveChromebooksEarly2020-2000x1125.jpg)
UPDATE – 3/4/2021: There are a ton of new devices being added to the list today. There are new MediaTek boards from both the MT8192 line and MT8195 line, new Snapdragon 7c Chromebook boards, and new Snapdragon SC7280 boards as well. It’s a pretty big update this time around, so dig around a bit and […]
While we’re still in the speculation phase about what chip the SC7280 actually is, it doesn’t mean that development isn’t already cruising along on new boards housing the mysterious silicon from Qualcomm. I still feel confident that the SC7280 is simply a newer generation of the Snapdragon 7c we’ll soon see available inside a few […]

We reported on a phenomenal new tech on its way to Chromebooks via the USI pen standard not long ago. Ufro – the company behind existing pens like the ColorPillar that works on iPads and iPhones – is in the process of bringing their awesome tech to USI pens that will work on Chromebooks as […]
Over the years, Chrome has become a very helpful browser, but that means it has also become quite a bit more complex. From new features to updates in the underlying way the browser operates, Chrome has become far more capable than it used to be. While that is generally a good thing, it is also […]
We’ve talked at length about MediaTek and their upcoming Chromebook-specific chips in the past and we’ve even made a video about why exactly these chips will come to play an important roll in the Chrome OS ecosystem in the near future. Those chips, specifically, are the MT8183 (currently in devices like the Lenovo Chromebook Duet), […]
The Qualcomm-powered Chromebook reality is finally right around the corner with devices like the Acer Chromebook Spin 513 (‘Lazor’) already being unveiled back in October of 2020. Though that device hasn’t become officially available and we’re not sure when that will happen, we do know that it is in the cards at this point. In […]
![Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 unboxing and first impressions [VIDEO]](https://chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/SamsungGalaxyChromebook2UnboxingHandsOn.jpg)
Since CES 2021 earlier this year, we’ve been anticipating Samsung’s latest flagship, consumer Chromebook in the Galaxy Chromebook 2. With the same Fiesta Red color, pared-back stats and a scaled down pricing structure, Samsung definitely went in a bit of a different direction with this latest Galaxy Chromebook, and we’ll obviously need time to decide […]
Since Samsung shared that the Galaxy Chromebook 2 would officially launch on March 1st 2021, we’ve been collectively waiting for it’s arrival. With a bit of a different take on the Galaxy Chromebook formula the company laid out with 2020’s original take on the premium Chromebook, we’ve been anxious to see how this pared-down version […]
This week on The Chrome Cast, we start our conversation out by highlighting the very-excellent Simplify Gmail Chrome extension that just hit version 2.0. We reported on this earlier in the week and many, many people seemed very interested in the service and we get into a few of the reasons why this take on […]
Simplify Gmail v2 is interesting to many users, it would seem. I posted about the service just a few days ago and the interest has been through the roof. That made me feel a tad bit sad, honestly. I’ve been using Simplify Gmail for quite some time and only mentioned it in passing in an […]
