Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome
We’ve talked quite a bit about the slightly-mysterious ‘Sarien’ in the past week. From its emergence as a new flagship Chrome OS device to the fact that it looks to be made by Dell, ‘Sarien’ is starting to add up to a very intriguing option in the high-end Chromebook space.
Instant tethering has been part of the Chromebook experience for quite some time now, but it has been only available to those in Google’s own hardware ecosystem. As part of the Better Together initiative (which connects your Android phone and Chromebook during the out-of-the-box setup process), instant tethering has been available only to the segment […]
I have a love/hate relationship with mice in general. I love the precision, but I hate the lack of gestures. I love the ergonomics on a good mouse but I hate that my wrist inevitably hurts after hours of use. I love having the option of navigating with an unattached device, but I hate that […]
We just uncovered a new flagship Chromebook in ‘Sarien’ yesterday and this device already has some head-scratching development happening over at the Chromium Repositories.

We’ve had the original 2013 Chromebook Pixel around the office for a little while and every time I see it sitting up on the shelf, I’m hit with a fresh dose of nostalgia and appreciation for the OS I use on a daily basis. I’ve picked it up and worked on it here and there […]
It seems that we’ve been all about the Lenovo Yoga Chromebook around here lately. Sure, it’s a great Chromebook and it is worth quite a bit of press, but it has been a bit crazy how the past few days have unearthed new nuggets of info surrounding this device. A couple days ago, we dropped […]
Timing is a strange thing in this industry. All the way back in late August of 2018, Lenovo took to IFA Berlin to announce some new Chromebooks and that announcement included some big language about the world’s first 4K Chromebook: the Yoga C630. We can go back and forth all day about the benefits and […]
Chromebooks, by their very nature, are mobile machines built for individuals on the go. With their quick boot times, nimble nature, and always-connected personas, Chromebooks are found often in the hands of individuals who value those traits.
