The new Fitbit Versa 4 and Sense 2 are starting to show up at retailers and in mailboxes for those who ordered them early, and I’ve had this one on my wrist for a full day at this point. These new Fitbits share nearly all things in common aside from a few different sensors added […]
Continue ReadingThe Chrome Cast 194: Stadia’s dead as gaming Chromebooks come to life
This week on The Chrome Cast, our discussion is largely dominated by the official announcement by Google that Stadia as we know it will no longer continue to exist. In the next few months, the service that truly introduced cloud gaming to the world will host its last games, and as sad as it is […]
Continue ReadingWhy I want the Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition to be my next everyday carry
Just yesterday, Gabriel and I were discussing the fact that neither of us have a Chromebook that we’d 100% go out and buy today if we were in the market. Sure, my situation is pretty unique given the fact that there are new Chromebooks in and out of our office all the time, but I’d […]
Continue ReadingEverything we’re expecting from Google’s upcoming Pixel 7 hardware event [VIDEO]
We’re only about a week out from Google’s October hardware event, and it looks like the devices Google has in store for us are numerous.

Continue ReadingThe Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro fall to their lowest-ever prices ahead of Pixel 7 launch
With many things, the latest, greatest version of a piece of tech is what gets all the hype. A few years back, this was 100% warranted in the smartphone space for sure. Each year, phone makers would show up with their latest innovation, making big strides with each new version of their flagship phones. I […]
Continue ReadingThe Pixel Watch bezels might not be as chunky as earlier renders made them look
It wouldn’t be the week before a big hardware event without a few leaks, poor renders, and general speculation, would it? That is exactly the case at this point with the Pixel Watch and its larger-than-expected bezels. Pulled from an earlier video of Google’s upcoming watch posted by the company itself, it became pretty clear […]
Continue ReadingA Samsung Chromebox or AIO may be on the way with a fun trick up its sleeve
Right off the bat, let’s file this one away in the unconfirmed-but-probable category. While I feel quite confident that the info we have leads us to the end result of a Samsung-made Chromebox or AIO (all-in-one) Chromebase, we can’t be 100% sure of this. The most questionable part of this upcoming device is the trick […]
Continue ReadingChromebooks to get Android 13-like privacy indicators for camera and mic
Thanks to a find by Chrome Story, we now know that an upcoming update to ChromeOS will come with an Android-like feature: a glanceable notification that alerts the user to the fact that their device is currently using the camera or microphone. Like we’ve seen in Android phones since the addition showed up in Android […]
Continue ReadingThe Pixel Watch could come with thick bezels, but it shouldn’t matter that much
With early images and videos being out in the wild of Google’s upcoming Pixel Watch, one thing that has caught many potential buyers’ attention is the size of the bezels around the display. It is cleverly hidden at this point, but if you pay enough attention, it’s pretty easy to see the bezel size with […]
Continue ReadingEarly leak of the Pixel Watch retail box shows prominent Fitbit integration
From the outside, the Pixel Watch is a decently-known entity at this point. We know what the device itself, the bands and the watch faces will all look like, but we know very little about the actual performance and UI intricacies at this point. It’s really not that big of a deal with Google’s fall […]
Continue ReadingWhy the new Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3 is worth the money to upgrade versus the original [VIDEO]
With the introduction of a few new ChromeOS tablets in the past year, it can be easy to get a little confused on which one to pick up if you are in the market for a detachable Chromebook. But the brutal truth at this point is the only Chromebook tablets worth considering come from Lenovo, […]

Continue ReadingNew leak confirms Pixel Tablet size and storage numbers
Once again, Kuba Wojciechowski is at it again with another Pixel-related leak. You may not know the name, but you’ve likely read about some of the leaks I’m talking about. He’s been involved in news surrounding the possible Pixel Tablet Pro, the 3nm Tensor G3, and some early Tensor G2 benchmarks as well. Out of […]
Continue ReadingNew leak confirms aggressive Pixel 7 pricing to keep pace with last year’s phones
Each year, phone makers update their main device lines, and most years, the price attached to those phones increases little by little. It’s how we arrived at $1000 phones a few years ago and how we knew it wouldn’t easily go back from there. In today’s world, high-end flagship phones regularly cost north of $1000 […]
Continue ReadingGoogle’s Chromecast with Google TV HD is officially available today
In a bit of an odd move, Google has formally announced the new Chromecast with Google TV HD and made it widely available today.
