In what is now becoming a semi-annual event around here, the time has come once again to name our favorite Chromebooks of 2020 so far. We like doing this twice a year for some pretty obvious reasons and dead-center in the calendar usually lands us in a place where the first wave of Chrome OS […]
I haven’t fully reviewed the Acer Chromebook Spin 713 in the customary way we normally do because it has only been official as a publicly-announced Chromebook for a little over 3 days at this point. Our hands-on video gets across much of what I’m still feeling about this device and my time with it has […]
This week on The Chrome Cast, we kept things relatively tight from a discussion topic perspective. The show really stays in two main sections: Google’s upcoming hardware releases and Acer’s excellent new Chromebook Spin 713. First up, for Google’s hardware, we get into some of the upcoming features like group calls on the Nest Home […]
One thing I like doing on a very regular basis is changing my wallpaper on whatever Chromebook is in front of me at the time. Depending on the season or what I have upcoming, I tend to adjust my background image accordingly. This time of year I tend to have a trip to Chicago planned, […]
Let me be clear right up front on this: I don’t play Minecraft at all. Talking about this game puts me far – FAR – outside my depth and leaves me feeling a bit vulnerable. So, if I miss a detail here or there about the intricacies of Minecraft as a whole, please forgive me. […]
We haven’t even really begun the review process for the just-announced Acer Chromebook Spin 713 and it turns out the device is already available and shipping from Best Buy. At the exact $629 as announced just yesterday, the high-end, rugged Spin 713 brings an absolute ton of desirable features to the table for a very […]
Users are just now beginning to get familiar with the new tab strip UI in Chrome for tablets. This new UI is one of the ever-expanding tablet mode additions we’ve been tracking over the course of the past 12 months in the lead up to the launch of the Lenovo Chromebook Duet. For now, the […]
Of all the boards and types of Chromebooks we are currently tracking, the fastest-growing group easily belongs to the ‘Volteer’ family of devices. These Chromebooks will have some very interesting tools at their disposal like 10nm Intel chips, a far more powerful Xe GPU built in, and better battery life. With the jumps in connectivity […]
The oft-maligned Pixel Slate is an odd Chromebook. It is equal parts awesome and frustrating, but much of that consternation comes from the price point Google opted for at its launch. With the Core m3 model coming in at $800 for just the tablet and the Core i5 model starting at $1000, it was a […]
Hopefully you joined us virtually for Acer’s Global Press Conference and saw all the cool stuff that was announced and unveiled today. It was a jam-packed presentation, but you know what we were here for, right? The Chromebooks! This year, Acer released a couple new devices and one in particular was lent to us to […]
I tuned in to the Apple WWDC event today for one very specific reason and ended up getting a little surprise I wasn’t’ expecting. For me, the draw of the keynote today had nothing to do with iPhones, iPads, iOS or iPadOS. Instead, I was there to hear about the transition to ARM silicon in […]
Look, I know many of you that stop by our little corner of the web are here precisely because you are turned off or alienated by all things Apple. I used to be that way, too, and to a certain degree I still am. Love or hate the company, it needs to be recognized that […]
