In the early days of Chrome Unboxed, I would sit in front of my Chromebook for hours on end waiting for Amazon’s “Lightning Deals” to arrive so that I could share the best Chromebook discounts with our readers. Unfortunately, Amazon has become a very poor place to go shopping for a new ChromeOS device. Don’t […]

New ARM-powered Chromebases are in the works with the MediaTek Kompanio 1380 inside
Until HP released its popular Chromebase 22 last year, there wasn’t much buzz around ChromeOS AIO (all in one) devices. While Apple has made the iMac for years and there are quite a few options for Windows-based AIO devices (even Microsoft took a swing at the form factor with their first Surface Studio), the ChromeOS […]

These days, sustainability is a hot topic for pretty much anyone running a successful business. With energy costs ever on the rise, “going green” is more than just a buzz word and companies stand to save – or lose – small fortunes based on the efficiency of day-to-day operations. Google is doing its part to […]

I would wager that, over the past two years, record numbers of users have set up or expanded their home office. Work from home. Remote learning. Whatever the reason, having a good desktop setup at home or even at the office is crucial for being as productive as possible. If you’re still shopping for a […]

Thanks mostly to HP, the Chromebase has made a strong comeback, and the all-in-one Chrome OS desktop presents itself as a solid option for the workplace, consumer kiosks, and home setups alike. For those that use a Chromebase at work or as a work-from-home device, Google is adding a very useful feature for devices that […]

Continue ReadingGrab the twisty HP Chromebase 22 for only $499 today
The all-in-one PC form-factor isn’t everyone’s flavor but there’s a lot to be said about a device that requires no add-ons or extra hardware to get up and running. Simply plug it in and you’re off to the races. Chrome OS all-in-one devices, a.k.a. Chromebases, are an even smaller segment of the PC market but […]

Looking for a durable, totable Chrome OS tablet that won’t break the bank? Lenovo has a doorbuster deal that may be of interest to you.

Continue ReadingHP’s top-end Core i3 Chromebase is now available and affordable
One of the most interesting Chrome OS devices to come out of 2020 didn’t come in the form of a premium convertible or a sleek tablet. Instead, one of the most unique and interesting devices actually comes in one of the least familiar form factors in the Chrome OS ecosystem – The Chromebase. Chromebases are […]
Continue ReadingHP unveils new Chromebase with a “twist”
Last week, HP held a virtual press event to introduce its latest Chrome OS devices to the world – well, to the press at least. The online event featured special guests from Google as well as Qualcomm and there was a lot of discussion about the future of Chrome OS, the consumer segment, and more. […]
Continue ReadingChrome OS should make it easier to move apps and web apps between displays
With the introduction of Virtual Desks and the ability to move Android and Linux apps between them on Chromebooks, I’ve spent a lot of time attempting to construct the perfect productivity flow on Chrome OS. One of the primary ways I’ve come to use my device is with an external display – docked into desktop […]
Continue ReadingGoogle is finally working on a shortcut customization app for your Chromebook
I’ve heard so many people complain about the ‘Everything button’ not being a caps lock key by default or that they don’t particularly enjoy the way Google has recently stripped the Alt key of its power, and yet, for years, we’ve had little capability to customize the way the Chrome OS keyboard functions. You can […]
Continue ReadingOver 100 Chromebook models to receive Android 11 upgrade for a better app experience
Chromebooks have been running apps using the Android 9 (ARC++ or Android Runtime Container) framework for years now, and after skipping Android 10, Google has now listed 117 specific Chromebooks which will receive an upgrade to Android 11. The newest update will allow for apps to run more smoothly and scale properly – two problems […]
Continue ReadingA new Chromebase ‘Dooly’ is in development and may come with a rotating screen
The Chromebase isn’t a segment we talk too much about around here. Up to this point, there have only been a few of them to ever actually hit the market and my money is on the fact that you have likely never heard of any of them. The first I had the pleasure of using […]
Continue ReadingHow to find your Chromebook’s serial number and why you’d want to
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 […]
