For more years than I can remember at this point, the major operating systems (Windows, specifically) have all had a setting that allowed users to tone things down on their device when not near a charger. There are different takes on this strategy, but the end result is largely the same: when the user chooses, […]
Continue ReadingThese Pixel 7/7Pro deals makes it tough to even consider waiting for the Pixel 7a
I’ve said it before and I repeat it again: I’m unsure exactly how Google plans to introduce the upcoming Pixel 7a into the lineup this year. The latest rumors are putting the new Pixel 7a likely around $499 at launch, and though it does come with some notable upgrades versus the outgoing mid-ranger from Google […]
Continue ReadingYouTube TV’s new Multiview feature for NCAA Tournament basketball is awesome
Over the weekend, you may be aware of a little tournament is going on that has multiple games happening all at the same time. The term March Madness is incredibly apt for the yearly NCAA Tournament if you are into men’s college hoops, and for millions of viewers, frequent switching between games is simply part […]
Continue ReadingNew leak suggests the Pixel Fold will be way cheaper than we thought
As always, right from the beginning, please take this sort of speculative rumor with a grain of salt. There’s nothing about this that is verified through Google and while I want it to be true with everything in me, there’s no reason outside of hope to believe that this is 100% accurate. However, if you […]
Continue ReadingIn case you missed it, Minecraft built specifically for ChromeOS is a really big deal
Not long ago, news surfaced that Mojang was readying a version of Minecraft built specifically for Chromebooks and, for many of you out there, that was enough. Whether it is for you personally or for your kiddos, the real, no-workaround arrival of Minecraft for Chromebooks is a big enough deal that it really needs no […]
Continue ReadingThe Chrome Cast 219: we can finally talk about the HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook
This week on The Chrome Cast, the star of the show is – without doubt – the HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook. And though some odd news about abysmal battery has made waves on the web, the overwhelming response to this device for everyone we’ve shown it to is massively positive, and we feel that it […]
Continue ReadingHow to use Google’s Fast Pair on your Chromebook with ChromeOS 111
Fast Pair is a pretty nifty service that Google has had up their sleeve for a few years at this point. While it has been around since 2017 technically, the actual implementation of Fast Pair has been a bit slow and hit-or-miss across the board. While many Android phones have taken advantage of it for […]
Continue ReadingHP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook review: the no-contest King of Chromebooks [VIDEO]
By this point, you’ve likely seen our coverage (or someone else’s) of the HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook. It’s been in the public eye since early January at CES 2023 and it’s been in my hands for just over a month at this point, so I feel like many of you watching this video know what […]
Continue ReadingChromebook tablet ‘Geralt’ is being tested with at least one pretty solid camera
As promised, more details are bubbling to the surface for ‘Geralt’ – the detachable ChromeOS tablet reference board that is breathing new life and excitement into the Chromebook tablet world once again. Though a period went by where we weren’t certain that we’d see any new tablets, ‘Geralt’ (and hopefully a handful of tablets that […]
Continue ReadingNew info says the Pixel Fold and Pixel 7a release dates will be in June
According to a recent bit of intel obtained from a retailer by a very reliable leaker – Roland Quandt (@rquandt) – WinFuture is reporting that we should expect to see Google release their first-ever folding phone as early as June 2023. While the Pixel Fold has leaked all over the place in the past few […]
Continue ReadingPixel 8 Pro renders have already leaked out two months prior to Google I/O 2023
Here we sit in March – about 7 months from the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro’s likely release date – with full-blown renders of what the latest phone from Google will look like. Since the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, things have been iterative on Google’s end, so there’s not a lot of […]
Continue ReadingAMD is still in the mix as new Ryzen 6000 Chromebooks begin development
You’d be forgiven for forgetting that there are more AMD-powered Chromebooks on the way at some point in the future. Thus far, AMD Chromebooks haven’t really caught on and have continually been eclipsed by devices with silicon from Intel, MediaTek, and Qualcomm on the inside. It’s not that AMD Chromebooks have been bad; it’s just […]
Continue ReadingMaking GIFs with your Chromebook is about to become very simple
Of all the mediums out there used to communicate a thought or phrase, perhaps none is as perfect as the animated GIF. Grabbing just the right scene from a show or movie can get your point across like nothing else, and finding the right GIF when you need it most is one of the great […]
Continue ReadingIt looks like a new Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 sequel is in the works
Now this is a sequel I can get very, very excited about! As what I would call the best overall ChromeOS tablet you can purchase right now, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 absolutely deserves a sequel like we saw in the Duet 3 (upgraded from the original 10-inch Duet). The Duet 5 gets so many […]
Continue ReadingYou can now adjust HDR for videos on a Chromebook with Google Photos
Just a few days ago, Google announced the addition of a few new features available for Google Photos for Google One subscribers. The highlight was clearly Magic Eraser, but in that same announcement, Google also added the ability to adjust HDR on videos you have stored in your Google Photos library, regardless of whether you […]
