Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
Leave it to a Google phone launch to leak literally everything before said launch ever happens. As if they haven’t already spilled the beans enough for us on their own, it seems retailers can’t stop themselves from jumping the gun as Pixel 6 availability looms large over the smartphone scene. Just last weekend, Carphone Warehouse […]
This week on The Chrome Cast, we’re still stuck in Pixel 6 land. We warned you that it would be a Pixel party until the 19th and here we sit, just days out from the final unveiling. In the last week, more leaks came up, more specs were verified, and more hype was generated on […]
The Pixel Fall Launch event can’t happen soon enough, am I right? With at least the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro on tap for the event, I don’t think I’m alone in my high anticipation of finally being able to get my hands on one of these new phones. We’ve been over it again […]
Today is the day. Today, we should start seeing the rollout of Chrome OS 94 as we officially enter the waiting period for Chrome OS 96 and what will be a big shift in the update cycle for Chromebooks. We’ve talked about it before, but to get you up to speed, starting with Chrome 94, […]
While we’ve spent way too much time dreaming of the day when we might see a tablet or large phone powered by Chrome OS, it turns out the idea of taking phone calls on your Chromebook might not be that far away. Granted, this won’t be courtesy of a Chrome OS phone anytime soon, but […]

Acer has unveiled a healthy selection of Chromebooks at their latest Global Press Event and we have hands-on with one of those devices here in the office. The Acer Chromebook 515 is the company’s latest stab at a larger 15.6-inch device and they aren’t holding back on the internals this time. In years past, Acer […]
This morning, Acer is set to host their latest Global Press Conference titled ‘Made for Humanity’. At the event, we expect to see new consumer devices ranging from laptops to desktops, Chromebooks to gaming PCs and maybe even some peripheral hardware. Acer’s events are always jam-packed with new hardware and we don’t expect this to […]
With the impending arrival of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, there’s more talk of iPhone users thinking about trying out Android than I’ve seen in a long time. Don’t get me wrong, it won’t turn into much of a tide shift in the end, but the fact remains that Google has a compelling […]
From the beginning, Chromebooks have utilized trackpads. Even the earliest Chromebook – the CR-48 – came equipped with a better-than-standard trackpad. With Apple having elevated the trackpad to new levels in their Macbooks, Google clearly wanted Chrome OS and Chromebooks to leverage the large, square capacitive touch area in the best way possible, and I’d […]
It’s no secret around here: we’re hyped for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Between Google dripping out official details since August and the regular flow of leaks the past couple weeks, there’s simply a ton of Pixel 6 news and hype going around right now. It seems this time around Google has put […]
We’re only about a week out at this point from the launch of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, and as we’d fully expect at this point, things are really leaking out. We’ve talked about how Google is handling things a bit different this year by being fairly transparent with their new phones, but […]
