A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
I’m going to be honest: we’ve put this post off for a very long time. You see, there are certain folks who will undoubtedly get upset when I publish this information because by sharing it, I come across as flippant about the greater Chrome OS community and the issues and trials the Canary Channel (and […]

Along with the launch of the HP Chromebook x2 11, two interesting new apps came into the Chrome OS ecosystem: HP QuickDrop and Google’s new Cursive app. We were able to get QuickDrop up and running right away and in all our initial testing, the service works impressively well. I’ve actually used it a few […]
As many of you already know, Bluetooth on Chromebooks has never really been a strong suit of the ecosystem. Though Bluetooth 5’s arrival helped many things, the overall experience on Chrome OS has still been a bit hit or miss when it comes to wireless accessories. Overall, though the process and settings screens are still […]
Back in 2017 when Google unveiled the original Pixelbook, I was mesmerized with it. From the screen ratio (3:2) to the ultra-thin chassis to the unique aesthetic, Google did something quite amazing with the design and construction of the original Pixelbook when you look back at it. Even today, nearly 4 years later, it still […]

As we come into the second half of 2021, there are a lot of new Chromebooks here and on the way. It feels like every time we turn around there’s a new package arriving in the office that begs for attention. We’re getting to them one by one – don’t you worry – but there […]
Back in May, we got our first look at early renders of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro courtesy of leaked video that ended up in the hands of Jon Prosser from Front Page Tech. Once the CAD renders showed up shortly after that original leak, we all felt pretty certain that what we […]
Just today, I had an Android app go a bit wonky on me. Google Analytics was open on one of my displays and after moving it to my second screen, it just vanished. It was still open, still running, and still visible in the overview mode, but there was no way for me to actually […]
A new retail leak has surfaced that doesn’t necessarily prove anything, but gives us high hopes for a more-powerful wireless charging accessory for the upcoming Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro that we expect to see in the coming weeks. Whether it is sometime in September or in October, we know the Pixel 6 and […]
It’s been nearly 6 months since we saw the first signs of the new Android 11 for Chromebooks.
