There’s no way around it. You know it. I know it. 2020 was a rough year all around. And while there’s no reason to keep talking about all the mess that was part of the last 12 months (we’ve all talked a lot about it), right at the start of a fresh, new year, we […]

This week on The Chrome Cast, we spend our time talking through two confusing segments of the current Chromebook market: tablets and high-end Chromebooks.

Over the course of the last couple years, tracking Chromebooks in development has become a much more elaborate affair. Where we used to see a device here and a device there, the truth is there are so many Chromebooks in development at this moment that we now have a frequently-updated post just to house them […]
Continue ReadingThe Chromebook search key could be moving for some future devices
I just wrote a piece earlier today about the standardized nature of the relatively-unchanging Chromebook keyboard. When it comes to consumer-focused Chromebooks, we’ve had very few changes over the years to the expected layout.
