If you’ve not heard already, Google has officially come out and said it will no longer make tablets. After the cold reception of both the Pixel C and Pixel Slate, it seems Google is taking its ball and going home. Have they just given up? Are they simply ceding victory to the iPad and not […]
If you’ve used any number of Chromebooks that convert or detach to acheive tablet mode, you have undoubtedly tried at some point in time to adjust the volume on your device while listening to some sort of media. Likely you cued up a YouTube video and were shocked at the volume and quickly reached for […]
If you’ve been holding out for a deal on Google’s Pixel Slate 2-in-1, today could be your lucky day. Google and authorized retailers have knocked $200 off all available models of the Pixel Slate. I say available because both Celeron models of the Slate have been absent for months now and I have a sneaking […]
It isn’t much but for the first time since its launch, Google’s Pixel Slate has seen a discount on Amazon. This particular deal comes in the form of the Intel Core m3 model with 8GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. Regularly priced at $799, Amazon has knocked a meager $40 off of the price […]
We’ve been tracking a duo of tablets known only as ‘Flapjack‘ up to this point, but we know a few things about them that make for a duo of compelling entries into the Chrome OS ecosystem. 8-inch and 10-inch tablets with the latest MediaTek 8183 processors, 16:10 FHD screens, and wireless charging make for very […]

To be fair, this issue wasn’t just an issue with the Slate, but because of its status as a tablet first, the overview animations are a […]
Chromebook tablets are still struggling to come into their own as a true replacement for the dying Android tablet platform but one place the emerging form-factor definitely shines is in the education sector. Portability, versatility and relatively low costs make “Chromeblets” an awesome alternative for iPads and traditional laptops. CTL, an industry leader in Educational […]
In the realm of detachable Chromebooks, there are few at this point. Two, specifically, and we’ve been asked time and again to pit them against one another to determine which is the best purchase. Between the Pixel Slate and the HP x2, there are lots of similarities and just as many differences. While it isn’t […]
The HP Chromebook x2 is one of only 2 options if you are in the market for a detachable Chromebook right now. Though we have a suspicion that more options will be arriving this year, we don’t know anything as fact right now and sometimes the best option is the one you can purchase right […]
Just this weekend we uncovered news of an upcoming duo of tablets coming soon that will feature the newer Mediatek 8183 processor. The duo will both be using the baseboard ‘Flapjack’ and look to be arriving with both an 8-inch and 10-inch version. And while I’m pretty excited about a couple smaller tablet options with […]
It’s really difficult to say when, or even if, Chrome OS tablets will ever take a firm grasp in the consumer market but that hasn’t stopped OEMs from pushing forward in developing the recent form-factor of our favorite operating system. For education and casual use, the RockChip-powered 10.1″ tablets from Acer, ASUS and now CTL […]
We don’t get the opportunity to do versus videos as often as I’d like, but we’re ready to try and change that in the coming months. The truth is, with review units it is pretty difficult to catch two interesting devices in the office at the same time. Right now we have quite a few […]
