Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome
We talk about a ton of stuff here at Chrome Unboxed. From Chromebooks to Chromecast to Google Assistant, the world of Chrome OS is pretty far-reaching. We save our News section for the things that are breaking news to our readers.
The Samsung Chromebook Plus V2 with LTE is by no means the first cellular-enabled Chrome device to come to market. There was Google’s Chromebook Pixel (2013), the HP Chromebook 14 (w/4G, not LTE. Also, my first Chromebook. Loved it.) and an obscure ASUS 300 model that I’ve never actually seen in the flesh. Out of […]
![[Updated] It’s Not You, YouTube Hit With Major Outage](https://chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screenshot-2018-10-16-at-9.59.55-PM-2000x1125.png)
A little less than an hour ago, users began reporting that YouTube was experiencing some major issues. Downdetector.com is tracking reports from now thousands of users who are unable to watch videos on YouTube and YouTubeTV as well as music from YouTube’s music service.
HP has swooped in a beat most of the other OEMs to market with their latest flagship and according to their site, you can get the Chromebook X360 14 this week. It’s a great looking device and we’re excited to get our hands on one very soon to share our thoughts. What’s most impressive is […]
CTL is at it again. The Oregon-based computer company dropped their Kaby Lake-powered Chromebox back in March with an industry low price of $199. The Intel Celeron Chromebox has since been bumped to $229 but it’s still the best deal going for the current generation of Chromeboxes. When announced, CEO Erik Stromquist told me that […]
While we fully expect to see all sorts of holiday-related deals on all of Google’s latest hardware, we did not expect these items to be on sale this quick. After all, you can’t even buy any of Google’s latest wares in a store yet.
Google’s Pixel Slate isn’t even available for order and the comparisons to the only other detachable Chromebook – the HP Chromebook x2 – are already beginning. It’s an understandable comparison, honestly. We remarked in our review of the HP x2 that the usability as a tablet was surprisingly good, and that was before all the […]
Acer’s latest flagships have popped in listings on Acer’s site but there’s still some debate as to when the Chromebook Spin 13 will actually make its way to market. Meanwhile, HP has swooped in and dropped a premium device of their own and not only is it a competitor in the high-end Chromebook arena, but […]
Acer’s latest flagships, the Chromebook 13 and Spin 13, were slated for release by the end of September. Alas, the month has come and gone with no sign of the 8th gen Kaby Lake device that could be a contender for Chromebook of the year.
The inevitable has happened. The LTE variant of the Samsung Chromebook Plus V2 is now official and will be available for purchase on November 2nd. Created for the “Always On” Consumer, the LTE-enabled Chromebook Plus features the exact same internals as its wifi-only sibling but you’ll have to pony up an extra $100 to add […]
It wasn’t long ago that we reported on an updated version of the much-beloved Acer Chromebook 14. The original was an under-powered but beautiful machine that we’ve longed to see updated. When we saw the update being planned, we were hoping the wait for the device wouldn’t be long, and it now appears the release […]
Google was very clear that the release date of their new Pixel Slate tablet was still very much to be determined. With only the promise of “by the end of the year,” I had presumed a pre-Black Friday launch could be in the cards. Thanks to Best Buy, we may have evidence that our guess […]
Rounding out our time with Google on Tuesday was a bit of hands-on time with the new Google Home Hub. Like everything else on offer by Google lately, this piece of hardware is different not only because of how it is built, but also because of the software experience within.
