Lenovo Slim 3i Chromebook Plus MSRP – $549.99 “The Slim 3i is an understated masterpiece, highlighting what I feel is the best of Chromebook Plus in all the right ways.” Pros Cons We’re back for – you guessed it – another Chromebook Plus review. It’s a lot, I know, and you’d be forgiven for just […]
Continue ReadingA long lost Chromebook Plus deal has returned from ASUS
Back in the latter parts of 2023, I was under the impression that we might see Chromebook Plus models on sale all the time. Right after launch, we saw deal after deal on most models and it really felt like these new devices were built to be on sale. But after November, things calmed down […]
Continue ReadingLast chance to save $150 on the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5
This morning, it looks like most of the deals on Chromebooks that were happening last week and through the weekend finally ended. We’re updating our daily deals page accordingly, and those of you that have maybe been paying attention to a particularly good deal on the Lenovo Chromeboo Duet 5 might still have a bit […]
Continue ReadingThis tiny feature addition in ChromeOS saves me so much time
I’m not entirely sure when this new feature actually arrived in ChromeOS, but I’m so, so glad it is finally here. We talked about the ability to drag and drop images from the notifications tray nearly a year ago as an up and coming feature only available via the Canary Channel of ChromeOS at the […]
Continue ReadingThe best deal on my favorite Chromebook Plus model is back
Spoiler alert: our review of this particular Chromebook Plus is on the way very, very soon, and if you’ve been around Chrome Unboxed for any amount of time, you already know the verdict on this one. Of all the Chromebook Plus models released in the fall of 2023, the Lenovo Slim 3i Chromebook Plus is […]
Continue ReadingWhy ‘Xol’ could become the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus
I’m going to level with you on something. Three days ago when I uncovered ‘Xol’ – a new Chromebook in the works that will come with some sort of Assistant key on the keyboard – I also noticed a couple emails associated with some of the changes happening for this device in the Chromium Gerrit. […]
Continue ReadingOne of the absolute best Chromebooks you can buy is $180 off today
As we enter President’s Day weekend, I figured we’d see a few early deals pop up this morning since this week has been relatively light on them. And with a quick search, I wasn’t disappointed. I love a great, affordable, sub-$300 Chromebook just like the next guy, but I also love seeing some of the […]
Continue ReadingYou can now use the new Lacros Chrome browser on Chromebooks again
It feels like a long time has passed since the simple ability to enable Lacros (Google’s new, decoupled Chrome browser for Chromebooks) via a feature flag left us. Looking back, it was only a little over a month ago in ChromeOS 120 that this change happened, however. For the swarms of users who had been […]
Continue ReadingOne of the best deals on the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 returns
Believe it or not, it’s been over a month since we’ve seen a real price reduction on the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5. In the last quarter of 2023, it felt like this beloved Chromebook tablet was constantly on a price reduction and was in a spot where you could regularly grab it for less than […]
Continue ReadingMy favorite Chromebook deal gets even sweeter for Valentine’s Day
As many of you already know, one of my favorite Chromebooks has been on sale all week. The large, fun-to-use, and wildly-capable Acer Chromebook 516 GE has been price-reduced by $150 since the beginning of the week. It’s been that price a few times in recent memory, so I didn’t share it this time around […]
Continue ReadingIt’s past time for Google to deliver on the promised Chromebook Plus AI
It’s a bit tough to believe, but it has been a solid four and a half months since the debut and launch of Chromebook Plus. It doesn’t’ feel like it was that long ago that we were in New York at Google’s awesome event for the big news, and as we now round into the […]
Continue ReadingBig Chromebook Plus, even bigger savings
The Chromebook Plus deals space is a shifty one these days. It almost has the feel of watching a basketball game where players are brought on and off of the bench as the game goes on. One week we’ll have one lineup, and the next we’ll see it all change. That has most definitely been […]
Continue ReadingNew Chromebook ‘Xol’ emerges with an Assistant Key built in
I know, I know: it’s basically impossible not to draw a few conclusions from that headline. I’m fighting the same instincts as I write these words, but I can’t deny what I’ve stumbled upon this morning, and I can’t 100% tell you that what we’re all thinking isn’t true. But I also don’t have proof […]
Continue ReadingThe best Chromebook tablet deal around is back and better than ever
Deals are simply crazy in the Chromebook space, aren’t they? One week we see hundreds of dollars off new Chromebook Plus models and the next week its all about tablets or big-screen devices. It’s tough to keep up sometimes, and for that I’d highly recommend getting subscribed to our newsletter (found in the sidebar or […]
Continue ReadingTiny, fanless Chromeboxes make me wish for a new Intel-powered ChromeOS tablet
I’ve sat on this post for quite some time, but with the news coming out over the weekend that Acer is now in the mini-Chromebox game with a device of their own, my mind couldn’t help but wander to something I’ve thought about for a very long time: why do we not have small-core Intel-powered […]
