We’re only a tad over a week out from the official announcement of the HP Chromebook X2 11. It feels like this device has been around for quite some time if you hang around Chrome Unboxed for very long. We’ve been following the development of this Chromebook since the beginning, and if you search ‘Coachz’ […]
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.
We told you so: the affordable Intel Jasper Lake Chromebook flood continues
It doesn’t seem like it was that long ago that we took a look at the coming Intel Jasper Lake Chromebook flood that is on the way. Back in March we talked through the possible impact of Intel’s latest small-core processors in Chromebooks, and back then we only knew of 20 devices in development and […]
Continue ReadingHP is refreshing the awesome Chromebook c1030 with 12th-gen Intel Alder Lake
It’s no secret that one of the best Chromebooks you can buy right now is the somewhat-expensive HP Chromebook c1030. Launched first as an enterprise-focused device and followed up as the consumer-facing Chromebook x360 13c, this device is one of the best-built Chromebooks we’ve ever laid hands on. From the all-aluminum frame to the 3:2 […]
Continue ReadingMore Pixel Fold evidence arises, pointing towards a possible 2021 launch
Though Google has been pretty open about its upcoming phones at this point in 2021, there’s a device that we’ve seen ample leaks about that they still are holding pretty close to the chest: the Pixel Fold. As a matter of fact, we don’t know that this would be its name if it ever launches […]
Continue ReadingFlagship-caliber MediaTek Kompanio Chromebook ‘Tomato’ begins development
We’re hot off the heels of HP announcing the highly-anticipated Snapdragon-powered Chromebook X2 11 tablet. While there’s a lot to be excited about when it comes to HP’s latest detachable, we were somewhat disappointed that the 11″ 2-in-1 tablet is using the older Snapdragon 7c from Qualcomm. Thankfully, Qualcomm’s competition, MediaTek, appears to be ahead […]
Continue ReadingAs 11th-gen Intel Chromebooks hit their stride, more 12th-gen devices hit development
We’ve been quite enamored with the current crop of 11th-gen Intel Tiger Lake Chromebooks lately, doting quite heavily on the new ASUS Flip CX5400 and CX9 even in our pre-review stages. With other devices like the fantastic HP Chromebook x360 14c, Acer Chromebook Spin 713 and the ASUS CX5500 impressing as well, you could say […]
Continue ReadingGoogle’s Tensor SoC could eventually power far more than just the Pixel 6
With the official announcement of the Pixel 6, Google made it pretty clear just what they are truly excited about in these new phones. It isn’t necessarily the flashy hardware, fast refresh screens, new cameras or under-display fingerprint scanner. Instead, the highlight and the focus is clearly on the new chip inside these phones and […]
Continue ReadingHey Google, there’s no reason not to give us a Tiger Lake Pixelbook Go update this year
Right now, all the buzz surrounding Google hardware is focused primarily on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. I get it and I totally understand it. Actually, I’m riding the hype train right there with everyone else and have pretty high expectations as I make my plans to return full-time Pixel phone ownership. I’ve […]
Continue ReadingMore Details on the AMD dGPU-powered Chromebook Arise
A few of our tech-savvy readers (thanks @Cooe, @Locuza_, and others!) have written in to let us know about a big detail we missed when first talked about the AMD dGPU Chromebook in the works: the Vega 12 being tested for it does exist. In fact, it has already been shipped in the older MacBook […]
Continue ReadingAnother HP Chromebook X2 11 clone is already in the works
With the HP Chromebook X2 11 finally unveiled, we at least know the name of the first of what could be many detachable Chromebooks with the Snapdragon 7c processor inside. The HP X2 11 is clearly ‘Coachz’ based on the features and the manufacturer, but we’re still waiting to see more about who will make […]
Continue ReadingGoogle is planning to market the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro like never before
In all the excitement about the official announcements of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, there was a detail that slipped by that most of us didn’t really think too much about. I know I missed it for sure, but Deiter Bohn over at The Verge didn’t. If you don’t know Dieter, you should. […]
Continue ReadingThe 14″ Tiger Lake ASUS Chromebook Flip CX5 is up for pre-order at $699
On last week’s episode of The Chrome Cast, we spent a good portion of our time chatting about the new family of Chromebooks from ASUS. The PC maker has dropped three new 11th Gen Tiger Lake devices that have us very excited about the future of Chrome OS flagships and there is a lot here […]
Continue ReadingThe LTE-enabled Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Go just popped up at AT&T
A little over a month ago, Samsung quietly announced its next budget-friendly Chromebook but this device took a bit of a detour from previous models like the Samsung Chromebook 3. Instead, Samsung has folded the inexpensive Chromebook lineup into the Galaxy family and tossed in the name “Go” just for good measure. Three weeks later, […]
Continue ReadingGet hyped for the new ASUS Flip CX5400 with this quick sizzle video
We’re just around the corner from the release of the new ASUS Chromebook Flip CX5400 and if I’m being frank about it, I’m pretty excited. I loved the Flip C302 and the Flip C434 was my daily driver for quite some time. Though I was let down by the price and overall package of the […]
Continue ReadingMore configurations of the upcoming 14-inch ASUS Chromebook Flip CX5400 appear
We’re still a bit out from the official arrival of the new ASUS Chromebook Flip CX5400, but it shouldn’t be much longer before this Chromebook begins hitting store shelves. With all the new ASUS hardware on the menu, it is easy to lose track of which is which, so let’s take a second for a […]
