2020 has been a mess in multiple ways, but in the midst of it, there were some great Chromebook releases. The year didn't deliver on all our hopes for new hardware, however, and with all the focus now on Chromebooks thanks to the pandemic and some pent up demand, 2021 has the potential to deliver an absolute onslaught of new Chromebooks.

everybody knows 2020 has been a pretty
0:02
rough year all around but that doesn't
0:03
mean there weren't some cool chromebook
0:05
releases that happened throughout the
0:06
year that brought us some first in the
0:08
chrome os ecosystem things like 4k
0:10
amoled screens on the galaxy chromebook
0:12
or
0:12
the lenovo chromebook duet launching and
0:14
actually being a useful
0:16
tablet that a lot of people really like
0:18
that oh happens to run chrome os
0:20
but along with those successes came some
0:22
missteps too
0:23
and a lot of that's due to the pandemic
0:25
we had devices that were either
0:27
cancelled or delayed we had stuff that
0:29
just didn't show up on time or
0:31
the inventory was too low and overall we
0:33
didn't end up seeing
0:34
2020 explode with the number of
0:36
chromebooks we expected as 2019 was
0:38
coming to a close
0:39
looking forward to 2021 however the
0:41
story is quite a bit different
0:42
chromebook demand is high supply chains
0:45
are back in order and we're expecting an
0:47
absolute
0:48
avalanche of new chromebooks in the next
0:50
year so let's take a look
0:53
[Music]
0:56
today's video is brought to you by our
0:57

over to patreon.com
1:20
forward slash chrome unboxed a quick
1:22
note on how we know these devices are
1:24
coming
1:25
chrome and chrome os are both based on
1:27
chromium and chromium os which is
1:29
completely open source software
1:31
so we can actually see a ton of this
1:33
development work being done
1:34
and anybody that wants to dig around in
1:36
the repositories and
1:37
go and look and spend time and find out
1:39
details about upcoming devices
1:41
can there's stuff we know and there's
1:43
stuff we don't but ultimately we get a
1:45
pretty good picture of the general kinds
1:47
of devices that we expect to see
1:49
in the next coming 6 to 12 months so for
1:52
the sake of this video we'll just
1:54
kind of lump these devices into families
1:56
or groups and
1:57
the first one we'll talk about is the
1:58
10th gen comet like family of
2:00
chromebooks now we expected to see all
2:02
these coming out in 2020 and we got some
2:04
of them in the samsung galaxy chromebook
2:06
and the asus chromebook flip c436
2:09
at ces and las vegas back in january
2:12
so we had 10th gen chromebooks right
2:14
from the beginning of the year but again
2:15
like i said in the intro some of these
2:17
devices got delayed or pushed back and
2:19
there's still a handful of these
2:21
comma-like chromebooks we've yet to see
2:22
launch
2:23
that are still undergoing current
2:25
development and we expect to see some of
2:27
those hidden early 2021 in a similar
2:29
fashion there are other devices based on
2:31
the same chipset that powers the lenovo
2:33
chromebook duet in the
2:35
mediatek mt-8183 when that chip started
2:38
development we started seeing all sorts
2:40
of different devices branch off from it
2:42
and we've
2:42
not seen a lot of those devices actually
2:44
come to market i think we've got four of
2:46
them total so far
2:47
but we're tracking somewhere in the
2:48
realm of 10 at this point so we've still
2:50
got a handful of those bad boys yet to
2:52
launch
2:53
again they're probably pushed back or
2:54
delayed and there's
2:56
still quite a few undergoing development
2:58
so we fully expect to see those in 2021
3:00
so expect more low end affordable
3:02
mediatek arm power chromebooks and
3:04
maybe one other tablet from that group
3:06
too now we start getting into some of
3:08
the newer
3:09
next-gen chromebooks and the first group
3:11
we're going to talk about comes centered
3:13
around the intel
3:14
tiger lake 11th gen cpu we're just now
3:16
starting to see that cpu show
3:18
up in a handful of windows laptops and
3:19
we fully expect that we're going to
3:21
start seeing some chrome os devices show
3:23
up maybe by the end of this year
3:24
but most likely in the early parts of
3:26
2021 what you need to know about these
3:28
tiger lake chromebooks is the fact that
3:30
this new chip from intel will bring a
3:31
boost to overall battery
3:33
and system performance but also that
3:35
these are the first chips that come with
3:36
the new xe
3:37
integrated gpu from intel and from what
3:40
we've seen with early test units and
3:41
early windows laptops is that this
3:43
update to intel's integrated graphics is
3:45
a
3:46
massive boost and a massive step forward
3:48
for what is possible out of the
3:49
integrated gpu on a chromebook so
3:51
things like steam games or linux apps
3:53
windows apps via parallels
3:55
general chrome os performance the entire
3:57
system is going to move faster
3:59
look better perform better because of
4:01
these integrated graphics
4:02
in total we're tracking around 20 of
4:04
these new chromebooks with likely a
4:06
handful
4:07
more show up in development by the end
4:08
of the year and early in 2021
4:10
so they're going to be a lot of tiger
4:12
lake chromebooks and that's a very good
4:14
thing
4:14
this chip looks like it's going to be
4:16
the real deal in the same sort of
4:17
category we've got a whole group of
4:19
devices coming out with higher end amd
4:21
chips so
4:22
amd ryzen chips and we had earlier
4:24
chromebooks with the a4 and a6 amd chips
4:28
that were five and six year old
4:29
processors and
4:30
those are fine for budget-friendly
4:32
low-end chromebooks that we don't expect
4:33
too much performance out of
4:35
but ultimately we really want to see
4:36
some of these higher-end amd chips with
4:38
their integrated gpu that's
4:40
always just been better than intel's
4:42
integrated gpus
4:43
well at least up until tiger lake and
4:45
we're gonna finally have some of those
4:47
again we've got a couple of them that
4:49
were announced they haven't started
4:50
shipping yet
4:51
already this year but we're expecting a
4:53
handful more as we move into the early
4:55
parts of 2021 so devices like the hp
4:57
chromebook pro c645 and
5:00
lenovo's thinkpad yoga c13 are both
5:03
carrying these high-end ryzen chips and
5:05
while they're not out yet and we don't
5:06
have hands on yet
5:08
we are very excited about the
5:09
possibilities there and we're tracking
5:11
at least
5:11
10 other of these devices in development
5:14
and they have been in development for
5:15
some time so we really expect to start
5:17
seeing
5:18
some more of these amd ryzen chromebooks
5:20
pretty soon another group of devices
5:22
that we're
5:22
getting really excited about this one
5:24
actually contains the chromebook i'm
5:26
probably most excited about going into
5:28
2021
5:29
is the group that's going to be carrying
5:31
the snapdragon 7c chip
5:33
we've been waiting a long time for
5:34
snapdragon power chromebooks to show up
5:36
and
5:37
we actually got our hands on the first
5:38
one and couldn't really test a whole lot
5:40
with it
5:40
in acer's chromebook spin 513. it's a
5:43
nice looking device but we just don't
5:45
know how that thing's going to perform
5:46
just yet because it's not actually
5:48
scheduled to be launching until sometime
5:50
in february
5:51
but around that time frame we're
5:52
expecting some of these other snapdragon
5:54
7c chromebooks to also come out and
5:57
if you've gone over to the website at
5:58
all lately we've been talking quite a
6:00
bit about a device codenamed coach z
6:02
which is going to be a detachable three
6:04
by two high-res 11 inch tablet that
6:06
frankly for me is going to be the
6:08
chromebook that could end up being great
6:10
as a
6:10
couch-surfing entertainment device but
6:12
also a snap in a dock or snapping a
6:14
detachable keyboard
6:16
sit down and get a lot of work done
6:17
device too so
6:19
we're super excited about what could be
6:20
possible with these upcoming
6:22
snapdragon 7c arm based chromebooks on a
6:25
very similar note we
6:26
actually made a previous video all about
6:28
this we have mediatek's upcoming
6:29
chromebook chips so we've talked about
6:31
the one
6:32
that is in the lenovo chromebook duet
6:34
and that's kind of their low end chip
6:35
that manufacturers are going to continue
6:37
making devices with but mediatek's also
6:38
introduced two new chips
6:40
both a mid-range and a high end in the
6:42
mt-8192
6:44
in the mt-8195 and both are being
6:46
specifically made to support chrome os
6:49
and so that means they can kind of tweak
6:50
some of the cores inside these chips to
6:52
do very particular specific things
6:54
that will make chrome os more efficient
6:56
on these particular processors
6:57
and so we're super excited about that
6:59
too because again just like the
7:00
snapdragon these are arm based
7:02
processors which means we can see huge
7:04
battery numbers
7:05
we can see really solid performance and
7:07
we'll see great android app performance
7:09
out of these because again
7:11
they're arm and that's what's in phones
7:13
and that's what android apps usually get
7:15
built for
7:16
so there's a bunch of excitement around
7:18
arm and around these upcoming mediatech
7:20
power chromebooks
7:21
heading into 2021 and finally no year
7:23
would be complete without a set of
7:25
chromebooks with intel's latest small
7:26
core chips inside
7:28
so think of the two or three hundred
7:29
dollar chromebooks that have the
7:31
celeron n4000 or 4020 pentium silver
7:34
opinion gold those types of chips
7:36
those types of chromebooks each year we
7:37
get a new version of that small
7:39
core more affordable intel chip and this
7:42
year is no different so with the jasper
7:44
light chips we're expecting improved
7:45
performance
7:46
a little bit more speed and better
7:48
battery efficiency for low end
7:49
chromebooks and honestly
7:51
because gemini like chromebooks perform
7:53
well enough for most people to do
7:55
most everyday tasks this is an exciting
7:58
lineup of chromebooks that we're
7:59
tracking that'll have this chip inside
8:01
because
8:01
honestly giving a little bit of a
8:03
performance bump and a little bit of a
8:05
battery bump to an already good overall
8:07
solution
8:08
is a solid recipe for a great low end
8:10
low cost chromebook in 2021.
8:12
so i don't even want to say that's it at
8:14
the end of this video i mean
8:16
listen to what i've just said we've got
8:18
10th gen comet like chromebooks
8:19
low-end mid-range and high-end mediatech
8:22
powered chromebooks
8:23
11th gen tiger lake intel chromebooks
8:26
jasper lake chromebooks
8:27
snapdragon 7c chromebooks amd ryzen
8:30
chromebooks
8:30
all coming there's a ton of stuff on the
8:33
horizon so compared to what we were
8:34
looking at
8:35
at the end of 2019 and moving into 2020
8:38
this isn't even a fair comparison we're
8:40
tracking more chromebooks right now in
8:41
development by far than we've ever seen
8:44
in the history of chrome unboxed
8:45
and so we're beyond excited to see what
8:47
2021 has to bring
8:49
and it's so exciting to see with all
8:50
this kind of pent-up demand that's
8:52
already there for chromebooks what it's
8:54
going to look like when these
8:54
manufacturers just start delivering
8:56
chromebooks
8:57
in droves over the next 6 to 12 months
8:59
because it's going to be a fun fun time
9:01
