It’s been a bit of a wait, but we finally have ASUS’ new tablet here in the office. Since it’s been around for quite some time, there’s little surprise, here. This is a 10.5-inch tablet/detachable Chromebook that offers a similar array of hardware that we’ve had in this space since early 2020 in the Lenovo […]

Here’s a little trick to score the 128GB Lenovo Chromebook Duet and Pen for only $225
Yesterday, I shared a killer deal on the 11th Gen Tiger Lake HP Chromebook x369 14c. That $200 discount is still available today and it presents some serious savings on a seriously awesome Chromebook. I mentioned that we are in that time of year when Chromebook deals are dropping almost daily and man did I […]
Continue ReadingHP unveils a sweet landing page for the new Chromebook X2 11
We’re only a tad over a week out from the official announcement of the HP Chromebook X2 11. It feels like this device has been around for quite some time if you hang around Chrome Unboxed for very long. We’ve been following the development of this Chromebook since the beginning, and if you search ‘Coachz’ […]
Continue ReadingASUS quietly debuts ruggedized MediaTek Chromebook detachable for the classroom
ASUS is absolutely killing it in the Chrome OS space as of late. With three new 11th generation Tiger Lake Chromebooks and a unique mix of ARM-powered MediaTek 2-in-1 devices, ASUS is quickly becoming an easy recommendation for just about any use-case or budget. One of the most anticipated devices in the aforementioned list is […]
Continue ReadingChromebook tablet mode’s goofiest issue needs to be fixed on convertibles
Chrome OS tablets and convertibles have come a long way in just a few years. Starting with the Pixel Slate, launched in late 2018, Chrome OS received a big UI overhaul that squarely focused the entire experience around touch for tablets and convertibles. The centered icons on the shelf, the full-width app launcher and the […]
Continue ReadingAnother HP Chromebook X2 11 clone is already in the works
With the HP Chromebook X2 11 finally unveiled, we at least know the name of the first of what could be many detachable Chromebooks with the Snapdragon 7c processor inside. The HP X2 11 is clearly ‘Coachz’ based on the features and the manufacturer, but we’re still waiting to see more about who will make […]
Continue ReadingHP’s Qualcomm-powered detachable Chromebook X2 is official
It has been nearly a year since we first unearthed the Snapdragon-powered Chrome OS tablet that goes by the code name ‘Coachz’. Since that time, Robby has committed to finding every single detail he could about this exciting little detachable, and now, we believe we have a device to go with his discoveries. During HP’s […]
Continue ReadingChromebooks gain continuous dictation right from the shelf with Chrome OS 92 update
For anyone who is familiar with dictation software such as Dragon: Naturally Speaking, you’ll know that the ability to speak your thoughts and see them transposed to the screen is incredibly useful and equally awesome. Emails, documents, messages – you name it. On Windows and macOS, you’ve been able to use such software for years […]
Continue ReadingChrome OS 92 includes an updated Clipboard manager for tablet-style Chromebooks
With the release of Chrome OS 89, Google implemented a modern clipboard manager that was able to house more than just text. Instead, you could copy images and more in addition and multiple items would be held there simultaneously, as opposed to the one item at a time approach that you would traditionally get out […]
Continue ReadingChromebook tablet mode split-screen resizing is finally getting a performance optimization
Back in February of 2019, I wrote a post that I’m not entirely proud of. Looking back, I used our audience to manipulate the system a bit and after the dust settled, I decided to not do that ever again. I was simply advocating for a better, smoother split-screen resizing for Chromebooks in tablet mode. […]
Continue ReadingAnother Snapdragon 7c Chromebook tablet is in the works
At this point in 2021, it feels like we could wake any given day to news that either ‘Coachz’ or ‘Homestar’ are officially hitting the market. After all, the development cycle for the Snapdragon 7c on Chromebooks has been a long, drawn-out affair, reaching all the way back to December of 2017. We reported back […]
Continue ReadingChrome OS is putting the ‘Overview’ button back on the shelf where it belongs
I said it and I meant it – Virtual Desks on a Chromebook have felt incomplete without this one important feature. The one vital feature for accessibility that existed way back in 2013 but was needlessly ripped from the operating system to make room for others – the ‘Overview’ button! After making my case for […]
Continue ReadingThe MediaTek-powered Detachable Chromebook CM3 is officially available from ASUS
After popping up at a random Amazon storefront (and quickly selling out), ASUS’ detachable Chrome OS tablet has officially arrived at the ASUS store. As reported last week, there are two configurations available with the only difference being the storage options. This Chromebook is clearly aimed at directly competing with Lenovo’s Chromebook Duet but the […]
Continue ReadingThe ASUS Chromebook Detachable CM3 is now available from Amazon for $329
We have been waiting – rather impatiently – for ASUS to finally release the MediaTek-powered Chromebook Detachable CM3 here in the states. Just this week, listings for both the 64GB and 128GB models popped up on ASUS’ storefront but they are still listed as “coming soon” and we still have yet to see the versatile […]

Since its debut at CES 2020, Lenovo’s Chromebook Duet tablet has been a wildly popular device among Chrome OS users looking for a portable but premium tablet experience. While the MediaTek SoC found in the Duet isn’t as powerful as we’d like, the 10.1″ detachable is a beautifully designed and well-crafted piece of hardware that […]
