Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
We’re still a couple of months out from the release of what could be the most successful consumer-focused Chrome OS tablets ever made. The Lenovo Duet Chromebook Tablet captured out hearts in Las Vegas this past January but shortly thereafter, Lenovo announced a ruggedized version of the Duet that will be marketed to educational institutions […]
It would seem that iPads will soon have proper mouse support. No, I’m not talking about the accessibility feature that is there in iPad OS 13 currently. Instead, I’m referring to a new feature spotted by 9to5 Mac that is internally being identified as ‘rich system-wide support’ for mouse cursors in iPad OS 14. Though […]
Not once have I ever stated that the Pixel Slate was a bad device. As a matter of fact, it is an amazing and inspiring piece of hardware that is capable of running Chrome OS as well as just about any Chromebook. Our biggest gripe about Google’s tablet-first Chromebook has always been the price. Yes, […]
A report surfaced just yesterday indicating Apple was moving forward with plans on shipping an iPad Pro keyboard with a trackpad later in the year. With companies like Brydge having already introduced their own take on this idea, it almost feels odd that Apple isn’t the first to market with this very new idea on […]
The setup process for Chrome OS or as it is formally known, OOBE (out of box experience), has changed significantly over the years. What was once a simple login screen and Chrome syncing has evolved to a near full-blown setup process as users are prompted to install and review Android apps, activate the Google Assistant […]
While I’m not one who’s interested in using a tablet as my primary device, I can see how a lot of users would like to make the form-factor their primary device for daily tasks. I do like the idea of having a Chrome OS tablet within reach for occasional use and if I am to […]
Chromebook users have very strong opinions about Google’s Pixel Slate. While it’s easy to fall in love with the premium hardware, many (like myself) find the tablet to limited as a true all-in-one device to condone the hefty price tag that can flirt with $2,000 if you opt for the Core i7 model and tack […]
Of all the things we saw at CES 2020, one of the most impressive was the diminutive tablet from Lenovo that runs Chrome OS. At the show it was labeled the Lenovo Ideapad Duet Chromebook, but we were told by a representative that it will be marketed as the Lenovo Chromebook Duet here in the […]
CES 2020 is a wrap but we’ve barely scratched the surface of all the Chrome OS devices that will land this year. In a little under a week, educators and tech companies will converge on London for the annual BETT conference where the latest classroom technology will be on display for the world to see. […]
The timing for a big tablet UI overhaul like the one we’re showing you today makes perfect sense if you’ve been following along with us during our time in Las Vegas for CES 2020 last week. At the show, we saw some insanely compelling new Chromebooks in the form of the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook, ASUS […]

From now until January 2nd, you can save up to $100 when you shop CTL’s wide range of Chromebooks, Chromeboxes, tablets, monitors and more.

We’ve been saying the same thing for months at this point: Google may have stopped making in-house tablets, but plenty of Chrome OS tablets are on the way and in large number.
