Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
Here comes Jon Prosser again, bringing us a new, fresh look at the Pixel Watch in a cheeky way that I can relate to in more ways than I care to admit. First up, the elephant in the room needs to be discussed. Jon leaked renders of the Pixel Watch back in April (we posted […]
Here’s the thing: I’ve been pretty harsh on Chromebook tablets over the years. From the early attempts like Acer’s Chromebook Tab 10 to the swing-and-a-miss that was the Pixel Slate to the latest HP Chromebook x2 11, I’ve not found a tablet running Chrome OS at this point that I’ve loved using. But this new […]
This week on The Chrome Cast, we spend the first half of the show discussing our sweet Lenovo Duet 5 giveaway and, because it is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c Gen 2, we transition right into talking about the company’s Snapdragon Summit. At this event, a new Snapdragon 7c+ Gen 3 was announced that […]
Office chairs can be boring and a tad bit confusing. Go on Amazon right now and try to buy a chair that you plan to use for a long time, looks nice and sits very comfortably. In just a few minutes, you’ll realize why I say office chairs are confusing. You have ergonomic chairs that […]
Not content to sit back and let MediaTek get all the ARM-powered Chromebook attention, Qualcomm has announced a new SoC for Chromebooks at their 2021 Snapdragon Tech Summit. Like MediaTek’s recently completed Executive Summit, this is a press gathering to basically lay out the plans for the next year or so from the chip maker. […]
This goes beyond a feature being “a long time coming.” Since November of 2015, YouTube Music has existed, had a web component, and has been without proper cast support. While this wasn’t terrible in the early days, it clearly became a more invasive problem the day Google chose to shut down Google Play Music and […]
We aren’t even to the point where Google has officially announced plans to bring their Tensor SoC to Chromebooks, but between leaked info, common sense, and gut feelings, I’d say a desktop version of Tensor is a foregone conclusion at this point. Reports put the arrival of Google’s custom Chromebook SoC sometime in 2023, so […]
One of the best Chromebooks to release this year was the ASUS Chromebook CX9. As a matter of fact, it is so good that it took the top spot in our high-end category for Best Chromebooks of 2021 and there’s little reason to think that it won’t hold that spot for quite some time. ASUS […]
Just yesterday, we began our ramp-up and planning for CES 2022. It’s hard to believe, but the big tech show is only 5 weeks away and that means we’re likely going to see some new Chromebook hardware in that same time frame. While we clearly won’t see all the Chromebooks set to launch in 2022 […]
This weekend, I did something to my Chromebook that I’ve never done before. I dropped it on the concrete. It was a tiny fall, mind you, but the end result was no less catastrophic. I was riding to a Thanksgiving weekend dinner, watching some football and as the game wrapped up, I was a bit […]
With all the Chromebooks that have released in the past year or so and all the possibilities of yet-unreleased devices still looming large, it’s easy to just be generally enthusiastic about what the next best Chromebook could be. There are tons of upcoming devices from all sorts of manufacturers with all sorts of processor options […]
This week on the Chrome Cast, we spend a good bit of time talking through MediaTek’s Executive Summit, the things that were announced there, and our thoughts on what the landscape of MediaTek ARM-powered Chromebooks will look like in the coming weeks and months. Joe was lucky enough to get to go out to California […]
