In April, Acer held its annual next@Acer even where the PC giant announced a slew of new products. In the mix was the next iteration of the popular Chromebook Spin 714 that has been a top seller among consumers for the past few years. While the new model didn’t deviate from last year’s device, there […]

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.
The Ryzen-powered ASUS Chromebook 14 is now available at Best Buy
Last week, AMD unveiled the company’s latest processors designed specifically for Chromebooks. The 7020-C series is aimed squarely at the mid-range Chromebook market that includes devices in the $300-$600 price range. The first Chromebook to surface actually showed up prior to the announcement in the form of the Dell Chromebook Latitude 3445. That device is […]
Continue ReadingGoogle is bringing Nvidia RTX GPUs to Chromebooks
Google is not relenting in trying to make ChromeOS the operating system for the masses. With more and more devices arriving and more features being added on a very consistent basis, the young OS has become extremely versatile but there’s still plenty of room for more. One area, in particular that Google has placed some […]
Continue ReadingWhy solid, affordable devices will be Google’s salvation for consumer Chromebooks
I thought by now things might be different. I really thought there was going to be a wider appeal for general consumers in the higher end of the Chromebook market. But the more I step back and look at where things are, the more confident I become that Chromebooks won’t truly break through in the […]
Continue ReadingAMD unveils new 7020 C-series for mid-range Chromebooks
Earlier this month, a new Chromebook appeared on Dell’s website that is carrying an unannounced new processor from AMD. I presume that the new Ryzen 5 7520 would be a direct competitor for Intel’s 12th Gen processors found in many of the current flagship devices on the market. I was partially correct. Today, AMD has […]

Even before the global pandemic hit in 2020, Chromebooks had become a staple in the American classroom. When schools began to shut down and remote learning became the new normal, the adoption of 1:1 devices for students skyrocketed as schools districts scramble to keep the educational stream flowing amidst the unprecedented adversity. Now that the […]
Continue ReadingThe Lenovo IdeaPad Chromebook Flex 3i is now available for purchase
At CES 2023 earlier this year, we got our hands on a new device from Lenovo that features the first of Intel’s new generation of small-core CPUs. The Alder Lake N-series from Intel represents more than a simple departure from the company’s historical naming scheme. New architecture, more cores and higher frequencies just to name […]
Continue ReadingGet it while it’s hot: The Sparkling Black HP Dragonfly Pro is back in stock
The uncontested King of Chromebooks, in our humble opinion, has been one of the most difficult laptops to actually get your hands on since it debuted back in March. At best, one of the two models becomes available for purchase for short stints of two days or even less. Each morning, I check HP’s website […]
Continue ReadingYet another new Dell Chromebook emerges from the shadows
Dell seems to be content staying out of the consumer Chromebook market. A fact that seems very odd to me given the recent expansion of premium consumer-facing devices from nearly every major OEM out there. I say nearly because no one appears to know what’s going on with Samsung but that’s another story. That said, […]
Continue ReadingGet one while you can: the Sparkling Black HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook is back
I’ll make this short and sweet. Why? Well, because this particular Chromebook seems to be selling out faster than HP can get inventory. Of course, we’re talking about the ultra-premium HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook that has been in and out of stock on HP’s website since its debut back in mid March. While $999 appears […]
Continue ReadingHP releases a new 15.6″ Chromebook with 12th Gen Intel processors
HP has steadily become a leader in ChromeOS devices that range from inexpensive to ultra-premium. In the shadow of the company’s exciting release of the Dragonfly Pro Chromebook, HP is quietly releasing new iterations of its most popular devices that bring the latest 12th Gen Intel CPUs to the party. Just last month, the all-new […]
Continue ReadingOur Chromebook golf simulator setup got an upgrade, and now it’s even better
It’s been quite a while since we last talked about our golf simulator setup and the fact that – with the right hardware – you can be up and running with a phone and a Chromebook. It’s still an excellent setup and one that I turn to these days when we have a group that […]
Continue ReadingHP’s latest 12th Gen Chromebook x360 is already on sale
Just under a month ago, HP quietly released the latest version of the company’s popular Chromebook x360 14c. The device just showed up on Best Buy’s website with no fanfare or even announcement from HP. Given the fact that HP had just unveiled the ultra-premium Dragonfly Pro Chromebook, this wasn’t much of a surprise. Over […]
Continue ReadingChromebooks are getting a time-lapse camera feature
The built-in ChromeOS camera app has come a long way over the past few years. Sadly, camera hardware on Chromebooks has lagged behind but that’s finally changing thanks to premium devices with solid shooters and third-party support for PTZ webcams. In an effort to keep pushing the ChromeOS camera app forward, Google continues to update […]

Earlier this year, the long-awaited release of the Lumafusion video editor for ChromeOS finally arrived. With it came the ability for hobbyists and full-time creators alike to finally produce professional level video content without the need for a Mac or PC. Not only is Lumafusion a powerful full-features multi-track editor, it only costs $29.99 for […]
