It looks like a new Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 sequel is in the works
Now this is a sequel I can get very, very excited about! As what I would call the best overall ChromeOS tablet you can purchase right now, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 absolutely deserves a sequel like we saw in the Duet 3 (upgraded from the original 10-inch Duet). The Duet 5 gets so many […]
Continue ReadingI finally installed Google Play Games Beta for PC, and it’s exactly what I thought it would be
I’ve actively avoided installing Google Play Games Beta for PC since it launched back in November as I felt the need to enable hardware virtualization was a frustrating barrier. For my Windows PC specifically, I had to enter my BIOS and enable it, but only after installing additional chipset software from AMD. However, now that […]

Last month, rumors were swirling that Minecraft may finally be on the way for Chromebook users and I’m not talking about the Education Edition. Without any warning or even an announcement that I can find, those rumors are now a reality as Mojang has officially released a Minecraft Trial for Chromebook in select countries. As […]

Since their release, the new Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro have been quite well-received by those who purchased them. Though I just wrote a piece this week about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 lineup due out later this week and the fact that it is highly likely that a vast majority of Android-toting Chromebook […]
Continue ReadingGoogle Messages raises its limit for end-to-end encrypted group chats to 100 members
To date, you’ve been able to add up to 20 other people besides yourself (21 total) into a Google Messages group chat with end-to-end encryption. This feature has been a thing for over a year now, and while that’s quite a high limit for most people, there are undoubtedly folks who would prefer that ceiling […]
Continue ReadingOpinion: A great trackpad and keyboard makes a Chromebook touchscreen nearly unnecessary
Before I begin, let’s get the most obvious caveat out of the way: a touchscreen is going to be necessary for certain Android apps for certain users. I’m in no way trying to say that touchscreens are completely unnecessary, but my time spent with devices like the Acer Chromebook 516 GE has changed my mindset […]
Continue ReadingLenovo’s Core i5 IdeaPad Gaming Chromebook is now available but…
Last month, Google joined with three manufacturers to announce some new Chromebooks that are aimed at gamers. In the mix, we have offerings from Acer, ASUS, and Lenovo. Each device has its own redeeming qualities but thus far, the Acer Chromebook 516 GE seems to stand out among the crowd with the best CPU and […]

Continue ReadingThe new Nreal Air AR glasses could be the coolest 2nd screen for your Chromebook ever
First, I need to preface this entire post with the fact that I’ve been wanting something like these glasses since I was a kid. Long road trips for vacations, flights as a young adult, and all sorts of travel in between have beckoned my inner tech nerd to possess something like what I think the […]
Continue ReadingSteam on Chromebooks is now in Beta
Earlier this year, the long-awaited Borealis project A.K.A. Steam on ChromeOS finally emerged as an Alpha test. The initial debut of the monumental collaboration between Google and Valve was restricted to only a handful of devices. It required users to move to the sometimes unstable Developer channel of ChromeOS. (You also had to have the […]
Continue ReadingPixel Buds Pro drop to their lowest-ever price and are now worth your attention
When the new-ish Pixel Buds Pro were surprisingly announced at Google I/O 2022, I was beyond excited for them. Gone was the troublesome ‘thorn’ that held them in place in past versions, and Google finally delivered on ANC for their own in-house earbuds. My only hangup was with the lag we’ve seen on prior Pixel […]
Continue ReadingGoogle has some fantastic game developers in-house whose talent is sadly going to waste
I’m probably in the minority when I say that I quite enjoy most of what Google puts up on its Arts & Culture app. Experiences that help me to understand and relive history are of particular interest to me, and I’m glad the tech giant is doing its part to preserve history and bring it […]

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.
