Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, 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. It could be pretty easy to look at the current Chromebook landscape with Google’s grand tablet exit and conclude that Chrome OS is […]
When you think Black Friday or Cyber Monday, the name CTL probably doesn’t come to mind but the Oregon-based tech company knows a thing or two about Chrome OS. An industry leader in EDU Tech, CTL offers some of the best Chromebooks and Chrome devices on the market at some of the best prices and […]
I’m not saying that we’ve given up on the hopes of seeing a Qualcomm-powered Chromebook arrive by CES but at this point, I’m not holding my breath. The inexplicable delay of Snapdragon devices could very well help secure MediaTek’s market share of the Chrome OS space as development moves forward on a number of octa-core […]
Over the past few years, we’ve spilled a fair amount of digital ink talking about what a Chrome OS phone could or should look like. (If someone were to take the initiative to make one.) For the most part, I’ve imagined a device that looks and functions just like any other smartphone, only running Chrome […]
Google’s latest Chromebook, the Pixelbook Go, appears to be charming the hearts of a lot of tech reviewers. Thanks to its premium design, more-competitive pricing and simplistic approach to Chrome OS, it is likely on the wishlist of a lot of shoppers this holiday season. Despite its intangible desirability, many users will still want something […]
We wrote about some strange additions and flags not long ago that caused us to believe the Chrome OS devs were up to some new navigation tricks for Chrome OS tablet mode. It all makes sense, really: take existing UI models and make them available across all platforms so users are less confused when they […]
Now that the Pixelbook Go is official, some people may be reconsidering Google’s premium tablet for more robust features such as pen support, fingerprint sensor and the ability to create a versatile 2-on-1 when paired with the #madebygoogle or Brydge G-type keyboards. Given the fact that the internals are practically identical, picking up the Slate […]
We’re a little more than a week out from Google’s October hardware event. If things go as expected, we’re going to get a look at an intriguing new Chromebook that could break the #MadeByGoogle mold. Meanwhile, deals continue to pop up on Google’s first (and possibly last) Chrome OS tablet. Last month, you could find […]
Just a bit over a year ago, we saw the arrival of Chrome OS 70 and all the new tablet UI features Google had been working on in preparation of the launch of the Pixel Slate. As we all know, those features weren’t even close to being ironed out when the tablet launched onto the […]
It wasn’t long ago that Google decided to announce to the world that it was getting out of the tablet hardware game all together. Doing this within 7 months of releasing a tablet (the Pixel Slate) feels like an odd move, but as I’ve explained in that linked video above, I’m not terribly upset about […]
Last week we were introduced to Ambient Mode on a few Android tablets from Lenovo. The feature quickly went from being a bit of a head-scratcher to a potential game-changing move in just a few minutes as we verbally processed the news in real time during our weekly podcast. My initial reaction to Ambient Mode […]
Ah, the Pixel Slate; the Google tablet I love to hate on but secretly always want to use. This Chromebook disappointed so many people and yet I still have a desire to use it. Maybe it’s the great speakers, the gorgeous build quality, or the fingerprint scanner. Maybe its the desire to force a tablet […]
