I’ve got exciting news for all you Nest Cam users out there! Google has announced in a Nest Community blog post that in the next few days you’ll be able to view recorded clips and navigate your footage directly on the home.google.com web portal. This brings us even closer to fully ditching the Nest app. […]

The Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 is back to $349 and worth a look
It’s oddly been a little while since we highlighted a deal on the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5. And you’d be forgiven for overlooking it in our daily deals post (that gets updated regularly) thanks to the solid list of Chromebooks currently available at discounted prices. On it’s own, the Duet 5 for $150 off is […]
Continue ReadingMy favorite Chromebook Plus model hits a new all-time low price
We shared out the best Chromebook deals available to start the week earlier today, but now it is time to take a closer look at one of these deals for all those that don’t make a habit out of visiting our regularly-updated daily deals post. Before we get into this one, you should 100% bookmark […]
Continue ReadingWhy I generally pick up my Chromebook, not my MacBook
Many of you who have been following along for a while now know that I am a hybrid OS user, meaning I use a Chromebook for most of my daily work but I also have a Macbook Pro that I use for all of our video editing. Although you can use a Chromebook for basic […]
Continue ReadingYouTube TV is finally adding the previous channel shortcut I’ve always wanted
In recent years, we’ve witnessed a significant shift in the way we watch TV. As traditional cable TV services are gradually replaced by more flexible and modern solutions, YouTube TV has emerged as a frontrunner. My whole family is now on YouTube TV but I can remember loading it up for the first time with […]
Continue ReadingWhy it’s awesome that Pixel Watch 2 has adjustable haptics
Of all the things a smartwatch does, the gentle nudge on your wrist signaling a notification or alarm is probably one of the most important. While it is clear that the haptics on the Pixel Watch 2 are better this time around, it turns out that there are not only improvements in the actual hardware […]
Continue ReadingThe fantastic Lenovo Chromebook Flex 3i drops to all-time-low price of $179
For the better part of 2023, Chromebook deals have been pretty wild. But with the advent of Chromebook plus in the last month, it feels like discounts are even more aggressive as we find ourselves in the Q4 season. And this one we’re talking about today is one of the most aggressive deals we’ve seen […]
Continue ReadingGoogle wastes no time restoring speaker group features for Nest devices after Sonos lawsuit verdict
After a rather tangled affair in court due to Sonos’ patent infringement allegations, which led to Google forcing your Nest speakers, displays, or Chromecasts to pair only to one speaker group at a time, I have some good news for you. Google just won in litigation, and is immediately rolling out updates to reverse some […]
Continue ReadingThe excellent ASUS Chromebook CM34 Flip is once again available for just $279
Since this device’s introduction, it has been on sale on a very regular basis. I’d go as far as saying the ASUS Chromebook CM34 Flip has been discounted for more days than it’s been available at MSRP by this point, and while Chromebooks go on sale a lot, this one simply seems to linger at […]
Continue ReadingThe next Chromecast with Google TV could get a solid performance upgrade
We’ve already heard rumblings of a new Chromecast with Google TV, but my initial reaction to that news was mostly a bit of confusion. With the new Onn. Google TV box at Walmart giving users 4K with the full-blown Google TV interface, what is Google left to do in this space to command their standard […]
Continue ReadingOur favorite Chromebook tablet is back on sale once again
Of all detachable ChromeOS devices, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 is easily the best overall tablet experience we’ve ever had. While Google attempted the Chromebook tablet with the Pixel Slate a few years back, no one has quite hit the overall detachable sweet spot like Lenovo did with the Duet 5. Now, to be fair, […]
Continue ReadingGoodbye Octane: Google finally kills off my favorite Chromebook benchmark tool
In preparation for a review we just filmed, I needed to run a few benchmarks to try and prove a point. These days, I rely far less on these types of tools and far more on what the actual end user experience feels like. After all, 10th-gen Intel-powered Chromebooks are still fast enough (especially the […]
Continue ReadingIf you are looking for a big screen Chromebook at a great price, this is the one
When we talk about Chromebook deals, there are usually two camps of people shopping: those looking for the absolute best value and those that are looking for a particular type of device at a discounted rate. This deal is more of the latter, though I’d argue that it is simply a great deal all around, […]
Continue ReadingThis convertible ASUS Chromebook for $299 is almost too good to be true
Continuing a summer of massive deals on Chromebooks, the new AMD-powered ASUS Chromebook CM34 Flip is back on sale once again for an unbelievable $200 off its $499 retail price. From my current experience with this device, what I can confidently tell you before we get our review out (coming soon) is that this Chromebook […]
Continue ReadingHow to send HD photos and videos in WhatsApp and why you would want to
WhatsApp – basically the standard messaging application for anyone living outside the US – is adding a pretty important upgrade to the photo and video experience for users. Replacing the average quality, highly-compressed images and video we’re used to with WhatsApp, you’ll now have the option to send media in “HD quality” moving forward. Mark […]
