Google TV for Android receives a Material You redesign, but we’re still missing a light mode
Upon waking up this morning and checking the Google TV app for Christmas movies to watch with the family (don’t judge me, I’m not that early!), I realized that some of its UI elements had adopted Google’s fancy Material You design language. Thinking I may have been imagining it and that this had been present […]

For quite a few years at this point, we’ve put out our list of the best Chromebooks released in that calendar year. While that is useful information for sure, the situation here at the end of 2022 is a bit different than it was in years prior. Though we’ve moved on from the pandemic in […]

Continue ReadingOne Chromebook with the new MediaTek Kompanio 520 is already entering production
Just last week, MediaTek officially unveiled a couple new Kompanio chips that should find themselves in affordable Chromebooks to be released in the coming months. These two new SoCs – the Kompanio 520 and 528 – should be pretty substantial upgrades over the original Kompanio 500 that we first saw in the beloved Lenovo Chromebook […]

Looking to score that perfect holiday deal on a new Chromebook? You’re in luck. Black Friday is no longer reserved for one single shopping day.

Continue ReadingHere are all the Kompanio 520 Chromebooks in development we’re tracking right now
Last week, before Joe went out to Sonoma for the 2022 MediaTek Executive Summit, I found a few interesting new boards in the Chromium Repositories that contained the new, somewhat-mysterious MT8186 SoC inside. We’ve talked about it before, but when I found these new devices in development, I also had some embargoed information that made […]
Continue ReadingIn an iPad world, Google’s Pixel Tablet is a smart move
For just a moment, allow me to give credit where credit is due. If I were in the market for a tablet and I wanted something that was powerful, productive, and offered a great gaming experience, I wouldn’t consider anything other than an iPad. iPadOS owns 55% of the global tablet operating system market and […]
Continue ReadingThis rugged, kid-friendly Chromebook is only $79 and worth every penny
After a whirlwind week of being inundated with Pixel news, it is great to be back at the office and talking about Chromebooks again. Don’t get me wrong. I am as excited as anyone about Google’s new Pixel 7 family and probably more excited about the soon-to-launch Pixel Watch but at our core, we are […]

Do you own a Google Nest Hub? If so, you may find that you’re hardly interacting with it unless your phone isn’t in your hand, and even though you’re lounging around the house, the glanceable information is just that – glanceable. During Google’s hardware event today, the company discussed how it wants to help you […]
Continue ReadingThe Chrome Cast 193: Pixel 7 pricing, Chromecast HD, and a Framework Chromebook
This week on The Chrome Cast, we spent the show talking about some new leaks that came from a Target store regarding Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro pricing. With a simple photo of the internal inventory system, we now know that the new phones from Google will not bump the prices up from last […]
Continue ReadingAnother mysterious new MediaTek processor is coming to Chromebooks
It wasn’t that long ago that we surfaced a new MediaTek chipset on the way for Chromebooks, internally dubbed as the MT8186. Little is still known about this SoC, but judging by the model number, I’d still wager it will end up as the followup to the current Kompanio 500 – internally called the MT8183. […]
Continue ReadingAMD Ryzen 6000 Chromebooks are now in development
Though we have quite a few options for processors in Chromebooks these days, the market is largely dominated by Intel. Sure, there are AMD, MediaTek and Snapdragon processors out there for purchase, but between the large and small-core offerings by Intel over the years, Chromebooks and Intel silicon have become somewhat synonymous. There’s room for […]

Google is running its Nest Hub promotion again, and if you missed out last time on grabbing a smart display at “no cost”, then now is your chance to atone for your sins. Just kidding, smart displays aren’t for everyone, and I get that, but ever since my son broke mine on accident, I’ve been […]
