It’s crazy cold outside and that means it’s time to gear up for Samsung’s much-anticipated Unpacked event. Slated for today at 1PM, this event is set to unveil the latest innovations in Samsung’s flagship smartphone line, the Galaxy S24, and introduce the world to some fun, new AI features. In a pre-Thanksgiving announcement last year, […]
Continue ReadingUpcoming Devices
One of the primary focuses here at Chrome Unboxed is future hardware. After all, our early days were all about new devices! What is coming feels just as important as what is here now, so we will continue looking for the latest and greatest developments in the Chrome OS ecosystem.
New Chromebook tablets to get Pixel’s Super Res Zoom
In a really great find by the folks at 9to5 Google, it appears Google is set to bring the Pixel Camera’s Super Res Zoom feature over to ChromeOS. If you are thinking to yourself, “Why bring Pixel Camera features to a Chromebook with its crummy overall camera experience?” You aren’t alone. When I first saw […]
Continue ReadingUnboxing the new ASUS Chromebook CM30 Detachable tablet [VIDEO]
CES 2024 is here in full force, but we’re clearly not out in Vegas this year for the festivities. Thanks to Asus, however, we got our hands on their latest Chromebook tablet – the Chromebook CM30 Detachable – well before its official release. So, let’s jump in the box and get into the good and […]
Continue ReadingWhy the new ASUS ExpertBook CX54 Chromebook Plus could be more affordable than you think
About a month ago, ASUS shocked us a bit with a surprise announcement of not just a new Chromebook, but a new Chromebook Plus that looks pretty awesome in every way possible. Built to take on devices like the HP Dragonfly Pro, the new ASUS ExpertBook CX54 Chromebook Plus is every bit the high end, […]
Continue ReadingFirst signs of an Intel Core Ultra Chromebox emerge with connections to HP
One of the segments of ChromeOS devices that continues to plug along without drawing too much attention to itself is the humble-but-powerful Chromebox. These devices don’t get a ton of press mainly because they are the most distilled, simple expressions of ChromeOS you can buy. As their name suggests, Chromeboxes are simple devices that house […]
Continue ReadingProof that multiple new MediaTek MT8188 Chromebook tablets are coming
I’m not going to lie to you: there was a real part of me that began wondering if ‘Ciri’ would be the only new, upcoming Chromebook tablet with the new MediaTek MT8188 inside. We saw a similar situation with the MediaTek Kompanio 1380 and the Acer Chromebook Spin 513, and that exact SoC only made […]
Continue ReadingThere are two more requirements I’d love to see in Chromebook Plus
When Chromebook Plus launched in October of 2023, I was really hopeful that this new segment of Chromebooks would solve some of the long-standing issues that tend to plague mid-range Chromebooks. In many ways, that hope was realized and for the most part here in the early parts of 2024, if you want a solid […]
Continue ReadingEarly hands-on with the insane new ASUS ExpertBook CX54 Chromebook Plus [VIDEO]
Though we won’t be making it to CES 2024 this year – for a variety of reasons this time around – that doesn’t mean we don’t get to bring a bit of CES to you right here from our studios. We expect ASUS to have their new, monster Chromebook Plus – the ExpertBook CX54 – […]
Continue ReadingMore evidence of a new 11-inch Lenovo Chromebook Duet emerges
While chances are pretty low that we’ll see it as soon as CES 2024, I now have some pretty firm evidence that has emerged in the Chromium Repositories that has me feeling quite good about the likelihood of a new 11-inch Lenovo Chromebook Duet with the still-unannounced MediaTek MT8188 on board. Where we are with […]
Continue ReadingGoogle needs to show the ChromeOS tablet UI some serious love, and soon
Have you used a Chromebook tablet recently? I’d wager if you don’t own a Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3 or 5, there’s a solid chance the answer to that question is a clear no. Those who have convertible Chromebooks should be using the tablet UI from time to time, but I’d say the number that actually […]
Continue ReadingThe new ASUS Chromebook CM30 tablet looks impressive on sweet new landing page
Towards the end of 2023, ASUS has started a bit of a new trend for announcing and launching their Chromebooks: they just drop a press release and see what happens. We saw this play out a couple of weeks ago with the newly-announced ExpertBook CX54 Chromebook Plus, and before that bit of news, ASUS quietly […]
Continue ReadingASUS ExpertBook CX54 Chromebook Plus: the new King of Chromebooks?
Out of nowhere, ASUS has announced and soft-launched a new Chromebook Plus model that is unequivocally the best device in this new class of Chromebooks. Well, in the group of branded Chromebook Plus models, I mean. If we add in all the certified Chromebook Plus models, we have to include the current King of Chromebooks: […]
Continue ReadingUpcoming Chromebook tablet ‘Ciri’ being tested with a QHD display
It’s been a little bit since we last talked about the new Chromebook tablets on the way that are built around the yet-unannounced MediaTek MT8188 SoC, but make no mistake – they are still in the works. And today, we have some new features to talk about for at least one version of this Chromebook […]
Continue ReadingSamsung’s potential Chromebook Plus looks to be a convertible
We talked not long ago about a new Chromebook in development that clearly looks to be a Samsung device with some variation of the Intel Alder Lake-N processor on board. That could mean it is a low-end device with the N100 or N200 or it could mean Samsung is going for a new Chromebook Plus […]
Continue ReadingThere’s a small chance Snapdragon X Elite Chromebooks could become reality
Contents Not long ago, we reported on the removal of all development on the once-upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c+ Gen 3 Chromebooks. Though we were tracking a handful of these devices in development for quite some time, they all were abandoned and there’s been no real movement in the Chromium Repositories on the Qualcomm front ever […]
