There’s a reason we don’t make many videos about Chromeboxes: they are all basically the same. That’s both a good and bad thing, I suppose, but at the end of the day, any Chromebox we talk about is a collection of internal specs and external ports. Some are better looking than others, but they all […]

CES 2023: ASUS Chromebook CM14 hands-on impressions [VIDEO]
CES 2023 was a packed show for us this time around. With affordable Chromebooks, high-end-amazing Chromebooks, Chromeboxes and a pseudo Chromebase, there was a lot to unpack in our few days spent in Vegas. We’ve already released videos of the fantatic-looking HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook, the gaming focused ASUS Vibe CX34 Flip, and the affordable […]
Continue ReadingHP’s new Dragonfly Pro Chromebook may be the Pixelbook Go sequel I’ve been waiting for
For our announcement and hands-on posts about the upcoming HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook, we discussed the specs and we covered a bit about what it is like to actually use this beautiful Chromebook for a little bit of time. While that is all fine and good, what I’ve really wanted to say the entire time […]
Continue ReadingCES 2023: Hands-on with the ASUS Chromebook Vibe CX34 Flip [VIDEO]
I’ll get the elephant out of the room right off the bat with this one; yes, we had an unboxing of ASUS’ first gaming Chromebook just a few weeks back and no, it didn’t go very well. It’s an odd play to see the company release another take on the gaming Chromebook so soon after […]
Continue ReadingCES 2023 highlights an upturn in affordable Chromebooks
While the highlight of CES 2023 for us was most definitely the hands-on time spent with the new HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook, there were actually devices across the price spectrum to see. Among those other Chromebooks were two interesting, new convertibles that will come in with an affordable MSRP and bring about a better-than-expected user […]
Continue ReadingCES 2023: HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook hands-on impressions [VIDEO]
I’ll go ahead and say it: the HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook was my absolute favorite thing I saw at CES 2023. While not the most technologically advanced gadget I ran into, this Chromebook looks to answer the mail for Chromebook users looking for a premium, beautiful, powerful laptop running ChromeOS. We may have a lot […]
Continue Reading3 new non-Chromebook devices I saw at CES 2023 that really impressed me
If you’ve kept up with CES at all over the years, you likely know that the selection of hardware to look at and play with is vast and oftentimes overwhelming. From televisions to laptops to phones to cars, there is enough tech at CES each year (sans the COVID years) to make your head spin. […]
Continue ReadingAcer reveals a new waterproof Assistant-enabled smart speaker at CES called the Halo Swing
Announced at CES this year as a follow-up to its predecessor – the Halo Smart Speaker – Acer has now announced the “Halo Swing”. The Swing is a wireless, waterproof (IPX5 rated), Bluetooth (and Wi-Fi 6) speaker with a handle for, well, swinging or hanging! While the name does seem to come from the fact […]
Continue ReadingBest of CES 2023: ChromeOS steals the show
Our first in-person CES in three years is in the books and we’re back at the Chrome Unboxed HQ with a boat load of news to share with you. While we were privy to most of the new devices that were on display in Las Vegas, we were pleasantly surprised by a couple of unreleased […]
Continue ReadingThe ASUS Chromebox 5 adds a unique and awesome new feature
We had the opportunity to tour the ASUS booth at CES today and alongside some awesome new Chromebooks, we were able to get our hands on the all-new ASUS Chromebox 5. This makes third 12th Gen Intel Chromebox announced in the past few months but the ASUS is the first one we’ve actually seen in […]
Continue ReadingThe gorgeous ASUS Chromebook Vibe Flip CX34 is available for pre-order
Announced just yesterday, we had the opportunity today to get our hands on ASUS’ second gaming Chromebook and Robby will be bringing you his first-look at the beautiful 2-in-1 ASAP. Much to our surprise, the fine folks at the ASUS booth informed us that the Vibe CX3401 should be available to buy in the next […]
Continue ReadingHP unleashes new Dragonfly Pro Chromebook with 1200 nit display and 8MP camera
UPDATE: I totally missed two very unique features on the HP Dragonfly. I was reminded last night when we were finally able to get our hands on this insanely beautiful Chromebook. First off, the HP Dragonfly Pro features a customizable RGB keyboard. This isn’t a first for ChromeOS but it is the first non-gaming Chromebook […]
Continue ReadingASUS launches the new gaming-focused Chromebook Vibe CX34 Flip at CES 2023
Just a few days ago, we published our initial impressions on ASUS’ first attempt at a cloud gaming Chromebook and I didn’t really pull any punches. The Vibe CX55 Flip is not a device I feel I can recommend at this point, and that was a tough admission to have to make. With Lenovo and […]
Continue Reading[U] Nvidia GeForce NOW just added an ‘Ultimate’ tier with better features and no additional cost
Update January 4, 2023, at 2:12 PM EST – Clearly, I forgot that the Ultimate tier was already available, and the update bumps its specs significantly instead of introducing it as a new option. Sorry about that! I’ll endeavor to use Nvidia more in the future. Again, since I came from Stadia, I haven’t invested […]
Continue ReadingAcer unveils 12th Gen Intel Chromebox CXI5 and 24-inch “Add-In-One” monitor solution
CES 2023 is under way and for the first time in three years, we’re back in Las Vegas to bring you hands-on coverage of the latest and greatest from the world of Google and ChromeOS. The show floor exhibits won’t open to the public for a couple of more days but we already have a […]
