Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
While Google’s Pixel Slate didn’t quite live up to all the expectations and hype we placed on it, many of the pieces that made it receive such harsh reviews early on have been remedied and the much-maligned Chromebook tablet is now quite a pleasure to use. As is the case with many things Google, it […]
Believe it or not, the new school year is just around the corner! Brydge has some great deals on premium aluminum Bluetooth keyboards for your Chrome OS device to help you prepare for class. You have probably heard us talk about Brydge a lot because these are not just regular keyboards; they are premium keyboards […]
I was digging through the massive pile of Prime Day deals and discovered a Chromebook, not on our original list. I guess it makes sense. It’s actually a Chrome Tablet. Well, not any tablet. This is the #madebyGoogle Pixel Slate. As of late, there have been some discounts on the premium tablet here and there […]
If you’re in the market for or already own Google’s Pixel Slate Chromebook tablet, you only have two options for a detachable keyboard.

The Pixel Slate launched to less-than-stellar reviews in part thanks to some serious animation jank present in overview mode on Chromebooks that has been present for quite some time. To be fair, this issue wasn’t just an issue with the Slate, but because of its status as a tablet first, the overview animations are a […]
We recently put out a video introducing Joe and Gabriel to the channel and in that video, you might have noticed that Joe said he uses the Pixel Slate as his daily Chromebook and the MacBook Pro to edit videos. So as a traditional Mac user, Joe wanted to take a couple minutes and share […]
In the realm of detachable Chromebooks, there are few at this point. Two, specifically, and we’ve been asked time and again to pit them against one another to determine which is the best purchase. Between the Pixel Slate and the HP x2, there are lots of similarities and just as many differences. While it isn’t […]
In a not-totally-surprising move yesterday, Google hinted very strongly that another #madebyGoogle device is in the works and will be announced “down the road.” At the annual Cloud Next event, in a session titled Google Hardware For Business, a juicy hint was dropped that is making it quite clear that Google is not out of […]
