Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
The release of Google’s new mid-range smartphone – the Pixel 4a – is a little unclear at the moment with the cancellation of Google I/O: where the Pixel 3a was announced last year. But that has not stopped Evan Blass, a veteran tech leaker, from digging up some mock billboard ads that seem to confirm […]
If you’ve been around here for a little while, you likely remember my decision to buy a phone other than the Pixel 4 XL and then my subsequent return to Google’s latest flagship smartphone. There were multiple reasons for my decision to avoid it in the first place and then for the eventual purchase, but […]

There’s a reason I titled my last article about the Pixel 4 ‘Why I haven’t bought the Pixel 4 yet.’ I know myself. I know how I am with tech, and I know how quickly my mind can be persuaded and changed. Knowing these things, I knew better than to be 100% definitive in my […]

As I type this opening sentence on the surprisingly-great Pixelbook Go, I’m subtly reminded of what makes a great piece of hardware. The sweet spot sits somewhere between a finely crafted physical thing that is pleasing to look at, hold or touch and the way that thing goes about getting you to the digital, software-driven […]
Have you ever been on a blind date? Or maybe just set up with someone you don’t know very well? The lead up to those types of interactions are fraught with mystery and intrigue that can cause excitement, anxiety, surprise or letdown. That’s sort of the same thing that is happening with the Pixel phones […]
We’re less than a day away and Chrome Unboxed is on the ground in the Big Apple to bring you live coverage of the 2019 Made by Google hardware event. The event kicks off at 10 a.m. ET and you can watch it unfold right here. We’ll also be tweeting live from the event so […]
Tomorrow we’ll finally get to see everything Google has been working on for the past year. Well, see it all in the flesh, that is. There’s really no need to act like the Pixel 4 and 4 XL haven’t been leaked every way to Sunday and we know nearly everything we want about the Pixelbook […]

The Pixelbook Go isn’t actually out and available yet, but what we do know from leaks and expect from the Chromium Repositories can inform quite a bit about this upcoming Chromebook from Google. In the newest iteration of a #madebyGoogle Chromebook, it seems we’re moving past convertibles, detachables, tablets and pens and making a full […]
This is a rare post for me. I rarely recommend Chromebooks that are more than a few years old and I don’t personally make a habit of making blanket statements about large groups of people needing to spend money on a particular Chromebook. There are so many variables usually at play when we talk about […]
Go with me for a minute. If you haven’t seen the brilliant move by Google’s hardware team, let’s cover that quickly. In the last few days, the leak train began with the Pixel 4. First there were renders, then there were case models (the metal slabs provided to case makers ahead of time for them […]
The Google Store is getting in on the early Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, sending out an email announcement that includes dates and deals on tons of stuff in their inventory. As we’re seeing more and more these days, deals aren’t limited to just Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but instead extend out both […]
Now that we’re in November and eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Google Pixel Slate, we’re beginning to see the emergence of pre-order options at multiple outlets. We’ve heard reports of users seeing a pre-order option on the Google Store, but we’ve yet to confirm if this is anything more than a slip-up or glitch.
