Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
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.
First up, let me warn you that we all need to take this info with a grain of salt. This is all circumstantial and possible, but I have no hard evidence that what I’m about to say is fact. Instead, looking at industry trends, failed past experiments, and a very particular and current flag still […]
In the world of cord-cutting and streaming TV, we’ll likely see some of our choices narrow down a bit over what we once had. As some services gain more popularity, others will inevitably have to close up shop. It’s the way of things with burgeoning tech, and its little wonder that we’re seeing the beginning […]
On the heels of Acer’s latest Chromebook, HP has joined the fray and announced four new EDU Chromebooks ahead of opening day at BETT 2020 in London. In the mix of devices, HP is expanding their “EE” lineup with three 11.6″ Chromebook to include one x360 convertible as well as a 14″ clamshell that can […]
Back in October of 2019, we had the opportunity to travel to New York and see all of Google’s newest hardware for the next year. While the Pixelbook Go stole the show for us, one other piece of hardware was announced that I personally was just as excited about: the new Pixel Buds. With a […]
BETT 2020 doesn’t officially kick off until tomorrow but we’re already getting exciting tidbits of news from the global technology in education conference in London. We’ve already seen the release of Acer’s latest Chromebook for EDU and now, Google has dropped a major bombshell that’s front-page newsworthy. As you may now, Chrome developers have been […]
Just a few days ago, we broke the news that ASUS had already put up a product page on Amazon and was also accepting pre-orders. Knowing the new flagship Chromebook was due in early March, this wasn’t much of a surprise. The bigger shock came in the form of a firm release date in the […]
In late 2016, Google began the two-year process of sunsetting Chrome Apps on all platforms with the exception of Chrome OS. By early 2018, navigating to the Chrome Web Store on Windows, Mac or Linux would present users with only extensions to pick from as the “App” section had been completely removed. While we knew […]
We’ve been waiting for today to get to talk a bit about the new Acer Chromebook C712 that we had the opportunity to spend some time with out at CES 2020. We have a video being prepared featuring some of the crazy stuff we saw this Chromebook do out in Vegas, but for now, we […]
As of late, it looks like Google, Intel and hardware manufacturers are working hard to get Chrome OS on to a similar roadmap as other operating systems. With two new devices already on board with Project Athena, it’s an exciting time for Chrome OS fans as devices are now enjoying the same current-gen internals as […]
For all of its greatness, there are tons of things that can be flat-out annoying about using the internet. Pop-up ads, poor mobile experiences, slow load times, and poor UI are just a handful of things that contribute to a less-than-stellar experience while browsing the web. One of the bigger complaints leveraged at the modern […]
I do not consider myself a tab hoarder. On the desktop, I might keep a half dozen tabs running at a time. Occasionally, if I’m really digging into some research, you may find my Chromebox with a dozen or more pages open but that’s it. On my phone? Not a chance. I don’t know if […]
There’s no denying that this year’s CES was a big show for Chromebook users. We saw the introduction of the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook, the ASUS Chromebook Flip C436, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet tablet, and the Lenovo Flex 5.
