Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
Around the time Google rolled out the “Switch to Chromebook” campaign, the landing page for Chrome OS devices underwent a major overhaul, and users were presented with a beautiful Material Design selector that aided in finding the right device for your personal needs and budget. In its initial iteration, the Chromebook landing page was little […]
Forget Black Friday, Best Buy has deals on two of the hottest Chromebooks of 2020 and you can save as much as $180. While I’m sure that we’ll see some great deals as the holiday shopping season ramps up, these two Chromebooks are at or near the cheapest they’ve ever been and they offer some […]
![[Update: Sale over]Deal Alert: Grab the versatile Lenovo Chromebook Duet tablet for $204](https://chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/LenovoChromebookDuetWalmart249ShippingNow.jpg)
Update: Shortly after this was published, Walmart returned the price of the Duet to $249. It’s still a great price but you can get the 128GB model for only $20 more at Best Buy. Not sure if this was a hiccup or Walmart only had a certain number of devices at this price. Either way, […]
Holiday shopping in 2020 is just as bizarre as everything else that happened this year. Prime Day was late and Black Friday is kicking off weeks ahead of schedule with deal scattered here and there from most major retailers. To kick things off, Best Buy is offering the first-ever discount on the 128GB version of […]
Every computer has what’s called a serial number. It’s a unique identifier for that exact piece of hardware which can be used to reference everything from its internal components and manufacturing process to identifying you as its owner. It’s often required in order for hardware manufacturers to locate your warranty information for repairs. Today, we’ll […]
A Pressure Sensitive Lifestyle As an artist, the moment I saw the Pixel Slate hit the marketplace, I eagerly bought it. No longer would I need to boot up my Windows PC, grab my Wacom tablet, plug it in and try to locate my missing stylus in order to begin drawing. No longer would I […]
Slowly but surely, we’re starting to see wider availability of pens bearing the Universal Stylus Initiative stamp of approval. Makers like HP, iPlume, and ASUS have had sporadic inventories of their respective USI styluses but getting one has been tough as they appear to be selling out within hours of the listings going live. Lenovo, […]
Short and sweet. USI styluses are finally hitting the consumer market and the latest model to start shipping is the affordable pen made by Lenovo. Much to my surprise, Lenovo’s USI stylus did not sell out like every other brand available. My guess is the company waited long enough to stockpile a decent inventory and […]
As much as I had hoped that Chromebook inventories would return to some form of normalcy by now, I knew in my gut that it probably wasn’t going to happen. The demand for decent and affordable hardware is just as high now as it was when the pandemic started. Import delays, slowed production and a […]
Oh, what a glorious day. As we anticipated, Lenovo has officially released its own USI stylus here in the United States. This comes just days after the pen popped up on Lenovo’s Australia site. This is awesome news for a number of reasons. First, it means that you can finally have the stylus that was […]

I got to the office a little late this morning after running a few errands. (My awesome wife got me a dope new watch for my birthday and I had to have a couple of links taken out. You know, that old chestnut.) I sat down and started my daily search for in-stock Chromebooks and […]
