Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
I have no idea what Google is thinking right now. 9to5 Google has uncovered some pretty substantial evidence pointing to the reality that Google may very well ship the Pixel 5a with the exact same internal SoC as the Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G. The Snapdragon 765G those phones possess is fine for mid-range […]
Let’s take a trip down memory lane, shall we? Near the beginning of my interest in Chromebooks, Google made a somewhat-odd decision to shack up with HP and make the decidedly-Google-y HP Chromebook 11. If you don’t remember it, we talked quite a bit about this pill-shaped Chromebook a few weeks back when news came […]
It’s no secret that many fans of Google’s own in-house Chromebooks want a return to Chrome OS hardware from the maker of the OS. Though not always massive consumer hits, the Google-made Chromebooks over the years have held up well as reference devices that others tried to aim for. From the early days of the […]
Yesterday, reports swirled of a few Pixelbook devices that were essentially ruined after an update to Chrome OS Beta 87.0.4280.24. Android Police reported the cases being reported directly to them and have found evidence of a handful of others with the same problem on Reddit and in the Google Product Forums. Thus far, there is […]
As we come closer to the end of 2020, it is becoming clear that this will be the first year since 2017 that Google doesn’t grace us with a new Pixelbook. Sure, one could argue that 2018 didn’t technically have a Pixelbook release, but the Pixel Slate was clearly a Google-made Chromebook in the Pixelbook […]
Well, she had a good run. Google’s flagship Pixelbook 2-in-1 Chromebook is no longer available via the Google Store or Best Buy, for that matter. Navigating to Google’s online storefront and clicking into the landing page for the iconic Pixelbook will present you with the news that it is “out of stock” but a report […]
As promised, we’re looking into ‘Halvor’ on a daily basis as we feel quite certain at this point that this Chromebook is none other than the Pixelbook 2 in development. With some additional clues in the form of the Pixelbook-specific keyboard top row layout, things just keep adding up to make the case for ‘Halvor’ […]
At this point in 2020, we have a lot of Chromebooks in different development phases. From a slew of ‘Hatch’ (10th-gen Intel) Chromebooks yet to launch to many more MediaTek-powered devices like the Lenovo Chromebook Duet to the AMD-powered ‘Zork’ devices and more, there are enough new Chromebooks on the horizon to make any Chrome […]
While I’ve recently changed my everyday carry to a non-Google Chromebook (the Acer Spin 713) for the first time in years, it should go without saying that I am a massive fan of Google’s design when it comes to Chromebooks. From the original Chromebook Pixel and it’s 2015 follow-up, to the Pixelbook, Pixel Slate and […]
Since their inception, the Pixelbook line of Chromebooks has largely stayed in the premium lane. Sure, the Pixelbook Go was a tad bit of a departure from that formula, but not much of one. After all, the top trim of that device costs a cool $1399 and is easily one of the most expensive Chromebooks […]
With schools slowly getting back in session, it’s becoming exceedingly more difficult to get you hands on a new Chromebook that’s worth its salt. Even more challenging is finding a good deal on some new hardware. Robby covered three devices that you can get for under $300 that are actually worth having in your bag […]
I will never forget the build up to the second #madebyGoogle event in 2017. The anticipation. The excitement. Between the new Pixel 2 phones, a smaller Google Home speaker, the second iteration of Daydream view, and – of course – the Pixelbook, we were insanely excited by all that Google was debuting in the hardware […]
