A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
Now that the Pixelbook Go is official, some people may be reconsidering Google’s premium tablet for the 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.

Chrome OS tablets have had a rocky start. While the tablet experience of Chrome OS continues to evolve and improve, the niche form-factor is still a hard sell for the average consumer and enthusiast alike. Still, there is a degree of intrigue around a device that can perform as both a productivity machine and a […]
For now, Chromebook tablet options are few and far between. Of the five tablets available today, one device stands out as the best option when it comes to price versus capability. The HP Chromebook x2 holds the title of world’s first detachable Chromebook. Despite being eclipsed by the Pixel Slate and all of its grandeur, […]
