Last week, we received a tip that Lenovo’s upcoming Snapdragon-powered Duet 5 Chromebook tablet would soon be arriving at select Costco stores. We don’t have a solid release date for that model at this time and the 13.3″ tablet has yet to show up on Costco’s website. Thankfully, this isn’t the only configuration of the […]

The 13.3″ OLED Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 will soon land at Costco
We’re about one-third of the way into the month that Lenovo promised we’d see the release of the highly-anticipated Duet 5 Chromebook tablet. Rocking a 13.3″ OLED display and detachable keyboard, the Duet 5 will be the first of its kind in the Chrome OS space and we have high hopes that it could help […]
Continue ReadingYet another oddly-named Snapdragon 7c detachable Chromebook tablet is on the way
Snapdragon 7c Chromebooks haven’t had the rosiest reception out of the gate. The few we’ve tested have been a bit laggy and though we don’t expect most users are looking for top-tier performance from the mobile-first processor, the number of readers we’ve had express frustration over their Snapdragon 7c Chromebooks is definitely a tad bit […]
Continue ReadingPrice Drop: The all-new HP Chromebook x2 11 tablet is now $379 ($220 off)
In the market for a new tablet? You may want to consider a Chromebook before you go dropping money on that new iPad Mini or a pricey Android tablet. Why? You ask. Well, for the second time in less than a month, Best Buy has dropped the price on HP’s all-new 11″ Chromebook x2 tablet. […]
Continue ReadingPrice Drop: The handy Lenovo Chromebook Duet tablet is now $199
Earlier this week, I highlighted a great deal on Lenovo’s tiny Chromebook Duet tablet that was going for $229 at Best Buy. I still think that’s a very solid price if you’re looking for a secondary Chromebook or just a straight-up tablet to have at your disposal. The 10.1″ Chrome OS tablet has one of […]
Continue ReadingA few reasons why the Lenovo Duet 5 should outperform other Snapdragon Chromebooks
We’re not too far out from the release of the recently-announced Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 and in preparation of this device’s arrival, we’ve been doing a bit of research around the 2nd-gen Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c that will be powering this interesting detachable Chromebook. You see, the Duet 5 isn’t just a simply sequel to the […]
Continue ReadingHP Chromebook x2 11 review: tablet dreams, Chromebook realities [VIDEO]
I have to be honest right up front: I’m not really a tablet guy. I want to be – I promise – but when it comes down to it, a large-screened phone handles most of my gaming, reading and casual consumption stuff and when I need a bigger screen, I normally want a keyboard to […]
Continue ReadingGrab the portable Lenovo Chromebook Duet tablet and save $70
The Chrome OS tablet space is finally starting to expand and we will soon see more and more high-end, premium devices in this growing niche. Now that OEMs are finally starting to produce Snapdragon-powered devices and MediaTek is gearing up to launch newer, more powerful SoCs for Chromebook tablets, this once dying segment has been […]
Continue ReadingJust point and shoot – Your Chromebook camera will soon be able to scan documents
While this update has been a long time coming, it’s yet to make an official appearance until today. On Chrome OS 96 Canary, the camera app on my Pixelbook Go displayed the message you see below, indicating that instead of having to scan through the traditional built-in ‘Scan’ app, I could technically capture a document […]
Continue ReadingMore 11-inch Snapdragon tablets are on the way to take on the HP x2 11
Lenovo recently announced the new Chromebook Duet 5, an OLED-toting, 13.3-inch Chromebook tablet that takes what many loved in the original Duet and expands on it in nearly every way. The screen is bigger/better, the keyboard is full-size, there’s a pen included (with a place to keep it) and the processor gets a big upgrade […]
Continue ReadingMonday Poll: What do you want in a Chrome OS tablet?
It wasn’t too long ago that the Chrome OS tablet was on its last leg and unfortunately, Google’s own Pixel Slate did little to save the form-factor. Many would argue that the ultra-premium detachable Chromebook was such a flop that it soured other manufacturers from even attempting to create another device in the same vein. […]
Continue ReadingThe Snapdragon-powered HP Chromebook x2 Chromebook tablet is on sale for $399 ($200 off)
Robby’s still working up his full review of HP’s highly-anticipated x2 detachable Chromebook. I’ll do my best to omit any spoilers but I will say that this 2-in-1 Chromebook is a hard sell for me at its $599 MSRP. It’s not that there isn’t a lot to love, it’s just a lot of money for […]
Continue ReadingLenovo launches 13.3″ Snapdragon-powered Chromebook tablet with OLED display
Last week, we had the pleasure of attending a virtual press event hosted by Lenovo. While we weren’t expecting much in the way of Chromebooks, I was relatively confident that our hosts would at least mention the new Jasper Lake model that I discovered a few days prior. There was actually no mention of the […]
Continue ReadingThe clamshell to tablet Chromebook experience is a hot mess, but I have a solution
Over the years, I’ve used a lot of Chromebooks, and often, I’ve used both clamshell and tablet devices simultaneously for a variety of reasons. For example, clamshell Chromebooks are great for hammering out some writing, while tablet Chrome OS is great for reading Google Play Books, watching Youtube, and handwriting notes with Keep or Cursive. […]

As we come into the second half of 2021, there are a lot of new Chromebooks here and on the way. It feels like every time we turn around there’s a new package arriving in the office that begs for attention. We’re getting to them one by one – don’t you worry – but there […]
