About 6 months ago, we made a video about USI pens and Chromebooks. Back then, the focus was really all about just getting our hands on one of these hard-to-get pens and putting it to the test on a Chromebook that had support for the standard. At that time, plenty of Chromebooks had arrived with […]
It’s no secret that many fans of Google’s own in-house Chromebooks want a return to Chrome OS hardware from the maker of the OS. Though not always massive consumer hits, the Google-made Chromebooks over the years have held up well as reference devices that others tried to aim for. From the early days of the […]
We’ve been hearing more and more about LaCrOS in the past few weeks, and I think there’s a reason for that. You see, LaCrOS (Linux and Chrome OS, or a Linux version of Chrome running in Chrome OS) has been in the works for quite some time and even though we don’t have complete confirmation […]
Introduced at CES 2021, the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 is an anomoly in a bunch of ways. For one, it has a ‘2’ in the name while not exactly improving on its predecessor. It has a processor that, in just a few months, will feel a tad bit dated. It lacks features that its contemporaries […]
This week on The Chrome Cast, we start the show by digging into Android 11 and its limited arrival on Chromebooks with 10th-gen Intel processors in the Beta Channel. With this update, Android now finds itself inside a new container – moving from ARC++ to ARCVM – and your Play Store apps now scale to […]
If you’ve been a part of the Chromebook story for any amount of time, you’ve likely heard about the three pillars of the core Chrome OS experience: speed, simplicity, and security. From the jump, Google had a vision of computing that put these three things front and center, allowing them to steer the ship and […]
One of the many highlights of Chrome OS 89’s triumphant arrival was the addition of the multi-paste function that allows for a bit of a clipboard history for users to dip into. If you’re like me, it is very easy to copy one too many things before you remember to paste and your copied stuff […]
For this quick article, I reintroduced the very excellent Lenovo ThinkPad C13 Yoga Chromebook to my desk (and most importantly, to my fingertips) to type on. I honestly forgot in just a few weeks how much I love this keyboard. It is easily one of my favorites and honestly a bit better than I gave […]
![Every upcoming Chromebook in development we’re keeping up with right now [UPDATE: 3/24/2021]](https://chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/NewWaveChromebooksEarly2020-2000x1125.jpg)
UPDATE – 3/24/2021: This time around, the update is all about Jasper Lake and the devices built on the ‘Dedede’ reference board. These devices will usher in a new era of affordable Chromebooks that should have more than enough processing power for the vast majority of general users from consumers to education markets. Don’t forget: […]
It is still a bit unclear how close we actually are to ‘Borealis’ – the internal code name for the Steam gaming container coming to Chrome OS – actually landing. I’m still inclined to think that this feature will arrive in conjunction with more Tiger Lake Chromebooks hitting the market with their integrated Xe graphics […]
We’re still eagerly awaiting the arrival of Snapdragon 7c Chromebooks in 2021 and while we fully expect to be hands-on with a few of them in the very near future, the truth is we don’t know how the chip will actually hold up once we get a Chromebook in our office that uses it. I […]
Today on the Google Cloud blog, Google published a story titled ‘The past, present and future of custom compute at Google.’ For most, this is a title that could go unnoticed and the importance of what is happening could go by without much thought. For us here at Chrome Unboxed, however, we like to read […]
