Here at Chrome Unboxed, we spend a ton of time unboxing and reviewing Chromebooks. It’s in our name, after all, and impressions on all the latest hardware in the Chromebook ecosystem will always be central to our purpose as a tech blog, YouTube channel, and Podcast. Though I spend a great deal of time bouncing […]
Since their inception, the Pixelbook line of Chromebooks has largely stayed in the premium lane. Sure, the Pixelbook Go was a tad bit of a departure from that formula, but not much of one. After all, the top trim of that device costs a cool $1399 and is easily one of the most expensive Chromebooks […]

For reasons that go deeper than I care to get into, that title was a tad bit hard to write. I don’t hate Apple. On the contrary, I actually appreciate a lot about Apple’s hardware on a regular basis. I know, for instance, that they are responsible for the smartphone as we know it. They […]
If you’re a YouTubeTV subscriber and you missed the email, August is going to bring yet another price increase for Google’s cable alternative streaming platform. Yes, the cord-cutting, price-friendly, cable alternative is raising its prices for the third time in three years and it’s not what I would consider a modest increase. Starting in August, […]
We’ve had high resolution Chromebooks dating all the way back to the original 2013 Chromebook Pixel and as the years have progressed, far more have been added to that lineup in devices like the Pixelbook, Samsung Chromebook Plus/Pro, HP Chromebook x2, Pixel Slate, and many more. High-res displays are quite commonplace and many of the […]
I’ll say this right up front: the Lenovo Chromebook Duet is quite awesome just the way it is. There’s so much to love for the price and for many, many users out there, it already feels just about perfect. It has a high-quality, attractive build, a fantastic screen, a keyboard accessory in the box, and […]
![The best Chromebooks of 2020 so far [VIDEO]](https://chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/bestChromebooksOf2020soFar.jpg)
In what is now becoming a semi-annual event around here, the time has come once again to name our favorite Chromebooks of 2020 so far. We like doing this twice a year for some pretty obvious reasons and dead-center in the calendar usually lands us in a place where the first wave of Chrome OS […]
I haven’t fully reviewed the Acer Chromebook Spin 713 in the customary way we normally do because it has only been official as a publicly-announced Chromebook for a little over 3 days at this point. Our hands-on video gets across much of what I’m still feeling about this device and my time with it has […]
Chrome OS tablets have suffered a painful birth and an even more excruciating existence. The initial launch of the OP1, RockChip-powered Acer Tab 10 brought heightened anticipation for the platform but the tablet and its subsequent clones failed miserably in delivering a good tablet or Chromebook experience and the price tag of $300 or more […]
Earlier this week, news landed that Google had partnered with industry leader Parallels to provide a workplace solution for employees that need to access Windows applications and files from the cloud-centric Chrome operating system, a.k.a. Chromebooks. This is big news for Google as well as the companies that it is trying to woo over to […]
My day has finally arrived. I finally got the thumbs up to be one of the users that can successfully move my Google Play Music library over to YouTube Music with just one click. You can check here if you want to see if your account is ready for transfer. If you haven’t done so […]
Anyone remember the Chromebit? As in the singular, one-time, tried-once Chromebit? It’s OK if you don’t. Quite a few years ago, though, ASUS worked with Google and devised a small HDMI dongle with just enough guts inside to run Chrome OS and marketed it as a Chromebit. The thing was the size of a Roku […]
