Robby and Joe just wrapped up filming the full review of the Snapdragon-powered Lenovo Chromebook Duet. I’ll do them a solid and forgo any spoilers while we wait for Joe to finish his editing magic but I will say, this is the first time that Robby has ever walked away from a Chrome OS tablet […]
Costco is quickly becoming one of my top recommendations for shoppers looking to score a solid deal on a new Chromebook.

This weekend, I did something to my Chromebook that I’ve never done before. I dropped it on the concrete. It was a tiny fall, mind you, but the end result was no less catastrophic. I was riding to a Thanksgiving weekend dinner, watching some football and as the game wrapped up, I was a bit […]

This morning, one of our fine Patrons asked if anyone had seen the 128GB version of HP’s Snapdragon-powered Chromebook x2 11 tablets actually for sale and available. I immediately responded, “I’ve not seen it anywhere” which also prompted me to take a look around and see if, perhaps, it was listed somewhere. Best Buy currently […]
Well, it is once again that time of year. No, I’m not talking about Thanksgiving. While millions prepare to fill up on turkey, dressing, football, and family, just as many are strategizing their plans of attack for what is the biggest shopping day of the year.
