Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome
Chromebooks are the heart of the Chrome OS experience. At their core, Chromebooks are the purest expression of Google's operating system. Here, you'll find only articles and stories about Chromebooks, their features, and what makes them great.
Acer recently made their much-anticipated 14″ Chromebook refresh official and even though it’s still not available for purchase, two new variations have popped up on their website. We haven’t had a chance to get hands-on time with the Acer Chromebook 514, yet. However, based on the specs (that are everything we’ve longed for) this could […]
Last month, we reported that Google’s Family Link for Chromebooks had finally arrived in the Beta Channel. Looking at forum posts, the reception has been a bit of a mix for the Supervised Users replacement but regardless, Google is trying to make it an all-in-one management console for parents who want to manage screen time […]
We’re fairly confident that the next few months will see the arrival of a second generation Pixelbook from the fine folks in Mountain View. Exciting as that may be, I don’t anticipate any major changes in the rumored refresh of the flagship Chromebook. The 8th gen Kaby Lake chip powering the Chromebook ‘Atlas’ will provide […]
In the past couple months, we’ve been a bit overwhelmed with new Chromebook models left and right. From HP, Dell, Google, Lenovo, and Acer, the new mid-to-high-end Chromebooks have been great and we’ve really enjoyed working through reviews for each. As excited as we’ve been by all these devices, there is a new frontier we’ve […]
This morning, we shared some really good deals that are going on at Best Buy this week. Savings of up to $100 and a free Google Home Mini are impressive to see just a couple of weeks after Black Friday but one of the hottest Chromebooks around just got a lot cheaper.
Best Buy has brought back their 20 days of holiday doorbuster deals and along with them they’ve discounted some of the latest Chrome OS devices and throwing in a Google Home Mini. FOR FREE!
Well, the time has come to address the elephant in the room. October has long passed and with it Google’s annual hardware event. As expected, the Pixel Slate, a.k.a. ‘Nocturne’ made its debut. Love it or hate it, the “tablet first” Chromebook #MadeByGoogle is the belle of the ball at the moment and clearly the […]
I generally steer clear of the world’s largest auction site when it comes to buying computers and such. However, thanks to companies like Best Buy who have retail storefronts on eBay, you can grab a new Chromebook and avoid the perils of buying from a private seller.
For more than a year, I have longed for a suitable successor to my beloved Acer Chromebook 14. It’s one of those unique devices that may not lead the way as a premier Chrome device but the overall package is compelling and its design is timeless. The all-aluminum FHD Chromebook 14 was so popular that […]
Samsung is sliding in some last-minute holiday deals for Chromebook shoppers and this time you can score some pretty sweet external storage when you buy the Chromebook Pro. The much-clamored for Samsung Chromebook Pro with a backlit keyboard is currently $100 off retail on Samsung’s site and if you act fast, they’re throwing in a […]
The journey of the Acer Chromebook Spin 13 has been a slightly odd one. Way back in May, we were up in New York where Acer debuted the device on stage and had units on hand for us to actually use. They were buggy and barely working, but the hardware seemed pretty close to finished. […]
Earlier this year, MediaTek brought their Octa-Core MT8183 to the Chrome OS party but since then, we’ve seen no sign of a new device powered by the ARM-based processor. However, development of the baseboard ‘Kukui’ continues to move forward and today we get our first glimpse at what could be the first Chromebook built on […]
