Okay, so bear with me as I hypothesize for a few paragraphs. As much as I’d love to say I have hard evidence supporting my title, I do not. I do, however, want to take a few minutes to verbalize what many of you are already thinking. Besides, it’s good to dream, right? Before we […]

New Rockchip Chromebook In The Works: Meet ‘Nefario’
Keeping in the spirit of Despicable Me, a new Chromebook code-named ‘Nefario’ has turned up in the Chromium repository. The Chromebook, birthed just this evening, appears to be another convertible device. Following in the footsteps of ‘Kevin‘, a.k.a. the Samsung Chromebook Plus, ‘Nefario’ will join ‘Scarlet’ and ‘Bob’ on the list of new Rockchip-powered devices […]

Just like that, with nary an explanation, the Samsung Chromebook Pro has returned to its place in the pages of Amazon. Just a day after the popular convertible was placed “under review” the product page looks to be back to normal and orders can be placed for delivery as early as Friday. Originally, the Pro […]

Continue ReadingSamsung Chromebook Pro Currently “Under Review” On Amazon. But, Why?
The Samsung Chromebook Pro is just now getting its legs under it as inventory is becoming more and more available at a wider number of retailers. As expected, after the initial release, stock of the Pro was hit-or-miss due to high demand and the presumably large number of pre-orders waiting to be shipped. Now it […]
Continue ReadingSamsung Chromebook Plus and Pro Prove Super-Durable In Drop Test
Today, we recieved an email with a link to a very interesting video. In it, Sean at Riverdale Country School takes a rather aggressive approach in testing the durability of the Samsung Chromebook Plus and Pro. As an educator (he’s the Director of Academic Technology at Riverdale Country School), though he is impressed with the […]
Continue ReadingSamsung Chromebook Plus Gets Major Price Cut
Some would argue that $449 is a fair price to pay for the ARM-powered Samsung Chromebook Plus. With its gorgeous display, temporarily unique stylus and attractive build, it deserves a higher-end price tag. However, since its announcement at CES, we at Chrome Unboxed collaboratively agree it should be a sub-four hundred dollar Chromebook. Don’t get […]

If this sounds a bit like Déjà vu, it is. Well, kind of. If you are coming to this article without a whole lot of the history we’ve been compiling on these devices for just about a year, I’ll give you the skinny. (Conversely, you can go here and read from the beginning of the […]
Continue ReadingSamsung Chromebook Pro Back In Stock At Amazon
Much like its cohort the Samsung Chromebook Plus, the Core m3 Pro has seen some frustrating stocking and shipping obstacles since its release back in late May.

Despite the delay of the full Play Store release, for a small handful of devices the Android experience is an overall positive one.

Continue ReadingASUS C302 Chromebook Flip Discounted
Since its initial release, the ASUS C302 Chromebook Flip has been pretty static in its pricing. At $499, this is still one of the best devices on the market for the money. There is a lot of debate going on right now over the choice between the Samsung Chromebook Pro/Plus but there’s no denying the […]
Continue ReadingEarly Reports of Samsung Chromebook Pro Issues Exaggerated
A few days ago, an article posted at The Verge caused quite a few people to question whether or not ordering (or cancelling existing orders of) the Samsung Chromebook Pro was a good idea. This is not my review. That will be coming in a week or so. This is my 3-day retrospective on a […]

You read that right! Though Samsung officially announced the Chromebook Pro would be available on May 28th, it seems they misspoke. Sure, the Chromebook went up for sale on that day, but it isn’t exactly accurate to say that it was available. We’ve been waiting along with all those who ordered on or before the […]
