Lenovo is on a tear in the ChromeOS space as of late. After debuting one of the most unique and well-built ChromeOS tablets on the market, the PC giant recently followed up with a smaller Snapdragon detachable as a successor to the original Chromebook Duet.

Here’s why I wish Google Keep notes and Google Docs would merge or at least share features
Google Keep is and always probably will be my absolute favorite Google service. The ability to quickly jot down ideas as I experience and become inspired by things around me in life is invaluable. While other note-taking applications do exist, Keep’s simplicity remains the reason I choose it over its competitors. That’s not to say […]

Just days ago, Google Contacts began rolling out a revamped visual card-style backdrop to contact entry fields, and though it’s a small update, it’s a welcome one.

Continue ReadingGmail for the web begins rolling out Material You redesign, option to disable Integrated view
Google stated back in February that it would give Gmail for the web a complete Material You overhaul. At first, however, it only received its much anticipated “Integrated” view, which placed Mail, Chat, Spaces, and Meet along the left-hand sidebar as icons instead of them being completely separate widgets in the sidebar itself. Clicking these […]
Continue ReadingGoogle Contacts is getting a card-style visual redesign
In what seems like an effort to bring all of its apps into the same Material You design language (for once), Google is now updating its Contacts app to reflect this decision. To be clear, it already received this update last year, but today, it’s going a step further and beautifying it a bit more […]
Continue ReadingGoogle Tasks will now let you print out your list for analog productivity
In my household, I’m the digital enthusiast, whereas my fiancée is in love with the idea of completing tasks from paper or even a sticky note. Don’t get me wrong, I love the smell, feel, and traditional nature of paper, and still use a real journal to this day, but I love the flexibility, collaborative […]
Continue ReadingGoogle Calendar to rely on Tasks instead of Assistant-based reminders going forward
According to a new APK Insights report by 9to5Google, Google could be moving away from Assistant for reminders inside of its Calendar app. Instead, it’s looking like it could be replaced by the official Google Tasks system – you know, that app that we all thought the company forgot about, but suddenly started getting lots […]

If you’ve spent any amount of time using a Chromebook, chances are decent that you’ve at least heard the term “verified access.” You may have seen this feature while poking around your settings menu or you may have unknowingly seen the feature in action while streaming some HD content on your ChromeOS device. In the […]
Continue ReadingPin up to three videos simultaneously in Google Meet with the Multipin accessibility update
Google Meet will now let you “multipin” things during video calls including participant’s feeds and active presentations. This can be useful for a number of reasons but is primarily being advertised as an accessibility feature as that’s how it was first announced last month during Global Accessibility Awareness Day. For example, someone who is deaf […]
Continue ReadingAll of Google Meet’s features are coming to Duo, app to be renamed “Google Meet” later this year
Just days after Jaxon wrote his piece about the innovations that Google Duo made over Hangouts and how it was better, Google is saying goodbye to it. Despite what you may read in the headline, Duo itself sure will be dead and gone as a brand, but its features and the app itself will live […]
Continue ReadingYou can now copy and paste files across Google Drive instead of having to use the ‘Move’ option
Before Google cleaned up Drive’s duplicate, messy file structure, pretty much all users had multiple versions of the same file in many locations, making it nearly impossible to manage. Now that they’ve gone through and turned these into what can basically be considered arrows or shortcuts pointing to the original file, Google is allowing you […]

Google Sheets is powerful. It’s not as powerful in some ways as Microsoft Excel has become over the past four decades, but it’s stuffed full of functions – Google’s name for formulas – and these can be used to turn the spreadsheet service into a powerhouse for data organization and analysis. Today, I’m going to […]
