We featured this Chromebook deal a few days ago but I felt that it deserved a second visit for a couple of reasons. The first reason is the price. Walmart knocked $100 off the already inexpensive Core i3 Acer Chromebook 715 but now, you can get if for even less. $279 will score you a […]

Not long ago, Anker announced a small and likely forgettable little accessory that I’ve been pretty excited about. The Anker PowerPort Atom is a tiny charging block that delivers true Power Delivery over USB Type C at 30W and is about the size of a standard iPhone Charger. While not a full 45W laptop charger, […]

There will be no shortage of great Chromebook deals in the coming days as we approach the biggest shopping day of the year but this Chromebook could be one of the cheapest “premium” devices we’ve ever seen.

The Auto Update Policy (End of Life date) for Chromebooks and Chrome devices has been undergoing some major overhauls as of late as Google works to extend the expiry date of more than one hundred models. Now that users are getting more life out of their machines, Google is now making the End of Life […]
Google’s latest Chromebook, the Pixelbook Go, appears to be charming the hearts of a lot of tech reviewers.

Despite its intangible desirability, many users will still want something […]

Fortunately for consumers, the battle for sales between retailers has produced the event of nearly month-long sales that can save you some major cash without the stress of navigating the Black Friday madness. Best Buy is always near the front of […]
The guys over at Laptop Mag have decided to brutally test 11 different Chromebooks from across the spectrum of price to see which one holds up the best. The results are actually quite surprising and the test itself is not only pretty scientific: it is actually a good replication of real world drops and fumbles.
