Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
Ah, the Pixel Slate. Google’s last try at a tablet gone a bit sideways, the oft-cast-aside, easily passable Chrome OS device. This premium metal and glass slab with a detaching keyboard and pen never quite made the impact it was supposed to, and that can be blamed on a slew of factors. Be it the […]
We’ll be heading to New York very soon to see what exactly Google up to with their latest Chromebook, the “Pixelbook Go.” As exciting as the leaks are, we’re now left with more questions than ever before but we’ll know soon enough if Google’s new Chromebook will be a winner or a dud. Heading into […]
Ah, the Pixel Slate; the Google tablet I love to hate on but secretly always want to use. This Chromebook disappointed so many people and yet I still have a desire to use it. Maybe it’s the great speakers, the gorgeous build quality, or the fingerprint scanner. Maybe its the desire to force a tablet […]
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 […]

The #madebyGoogle Pixel Slate tablet saw a hefty discount during Prime Days with savings and a free Google keyboard to boot. If you missed out, Best Buy and Google have just dropped some very enticing sales of their own.
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 #madebyGoogle keyboard has its advantages with its pogo pin connectors but it lacks the necessary rigidity to give the Slate any type of real “lapability”. Top Pick Brydge: The Best Wireless […]

If you’ve not heard already, Google has officially come out and said it will no longer make tablets. After the cold reception of both the Pixel C and Pixel Slate, it seems Google is taking its ball and going home. Have they just given up? Are they simply ceding victory to the iPad and not […]
If you’ve been holding out for a deal on Google’s Pixel Slate 2-in-1, today could be your lucky day. Google and authorized retailers have knocked $200 off all available models of the Pixel Slate. I say available because both Celeron models of the Slate have been absent for months now and I have a sneaking […]

Google’s Chromebook hardware has been pretty straightforward since the inception of the Chrome OS. With their first entry into the fold with the Chromebook Pixel followed by the 2015 version of that device, the Pixelbook, and finally the Pixel Slate, Google hasn’t veered too far from their original plan with their in-house Chromebooks. Premium builds […]

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 […]
