Yesterday, a post went up on Tom’s Guide titled Google Pixelbook 2 release date, specs and rumors and, despite the fact that I’m insanely eager to find anything remotely resembling a link to a Google-made Chromebook for 2020, this post is simply misleading. Yes, the Chromebook they mention is in development, it goes by the […]

The Chrome Cast 63: Chrome OS 83, Desktop-class apps, and tons of Chromebooks in the works
This week on The Chrome Cast we have so much to talk about that we actually had to bump a few things over to next week’s episode. We’ll obviously be discussing those things and more next week, but for this week we talked about the impact Krita could have on desktop-class applications on Chrome OS […]
Continue ReadingLooks like the Lenovo Chromebook Duet won’t get the display output fix we were hoping for
Earlier this month, I wrote a post titled Key feature missing in the Lenovo Chromebook Duet keeps it from being a true Chromebook replacement and in that post, I talked at length about a missing element to the overall Duet experience that, for me, makes the entire device less than ideal. The culprit discussed there […]
Continue ReadingIt turns out the Lenovo Chromebook Duet is a lot more unique than we first thought
There’s been a ton of hype around the Lenovo Chromebook Duet and its all for good reason. We’ve not had a solid Chromebook tablet in this small form factor at this sort of price in the history of Chrome OS. The interest has been strong since the debut of this tablet since January and, according […]

UPDATED 5/13/2020 @1:49PM – updated the current possible outputs available over USB Type C in the 3rd paragraph. From the moment I laid eyes on the Lenovo Chromebook Duet, I gave little thought to unforeseen limitations it would ship with when it finally became available. As a matter of fact, my main concern at the […]
Continue ReadingNew baseboard ‘Lazor’ signals development beginning to expand on Qualcomm 7c Chromebooks
The going has been slow to say the least. Qualcomm Snapdragon Chromebooks were supposed to show up in the second half of 2019 with the Snapdragon 845 chip on board, ready to shake up the ARM-powered Chromebook market with always-connected LTE, swift performance, and thin/light form factors. Those promises made in December of 2018 never […]
Continue ReadingAndroid 11 coming to Chromebooks and will overhaul Android apps on Chrome OS
Just last week on The Chrome Cast, we were discussing a mysterious new version of the Android container that has been in the works for a long time over in the Chromium Repositories. We didn’t talk long as I’ve had trouble narrowing down exactly why this newer way of running Android on Chromebooks was even […]
Continue ReadingFlagship Chromebooks from CES 2020 all get extended to 8+ years of automatic updates
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. Of these four Chromebooks, three of them are what we would consider the torch-bearers of this new […]
Continue ReadingLenovo Chromebook Duet tablet hands-on and impressions from CES 2020 [VIDEO]
Lenovo brought an interesting device to CES 2020 in the form of a new 10.1-inch Chrome OS tablet. If I’m honest, my first inclination was to expect a sub-par, plastic, flimsy tablet with a mediocre screen and questionable performance. After all, Chromebook tablets have been pretty bad up to this point, choosing to cut nearly […]
Continue ReadingThe first Chromebook to get an AMOLED display is Samsung’s thin & powerful Galaxy Chromebook
Technically speaking, CES 2020 hasn’t even begun, but that hasn’t stopped the flow of tech news ahead of the conference’s official beginning on Tuesday morning. As part of that early jump, Google has pulled the wraps off not one, not two, but three new important Chromebooks that will be making their debut here in Las […]
Continue ReadingAll the new Chromebooks we are expecting to see at CES 2020
CES 2020 is just around the corner and we’re getting final preparations in order for the week-long trip to the desert in search of new Chrome OS devices. CES has long been a hit-or-miss venue for new Chromebooks, but when it has hit, it has hit big. In 2017 we were lucky enough to be […]
Continue ReadingWe could finally see flagship Chromebooks with powerful AMD processors at CES
It has been a full 9 months since Gabriel unearthed the first signs of an AMD-powered Chromebook beginning development with the newer, more powerful Picasso chipset inside. That device was revealed to have the codename ‘Zork’ and all we knew about it at the time was the fact that it looked to be the first […]
Continue ReadingBetter Chromebook displays on the horizon as Ambient EQ becomes official
Earlier this year, the first signs of Ambient EQ for Chromebook screens were spotted in the repositories. The concept is quite simple really: with the proper sensors and software in place, screens can not only adapt the brightness in response to your environment, they can also adapt the color temperature to match. We talked in […]
Continue Reading‘Krane’ confirmed as a pure Chrome OS tablet coming soon by Lenovo
‘Krane’ is a Chrome OS device in development that we’ve not talked about too often. As a matter of fact, we mentioned it upon its arrival in our consciousness in April of this year and once again as Gabriel found it would be only the second Chrome OS device to make the questionable decision of […]
Continue Reading‘Kodama’ could be Lenovo’s new Chrome OS tablet
Just a few weeks back, a post went up on Reddit from a Lenovo employee asking for testers to partake in an early trial of an upcoming Chrome OS tablet from the company. We’d seen this type of thing before with the Lenovo Smart Clock and that testing request showed up just weeks before the […]
