We don’t get the opportunity to do versus videos as often as I’d like, but we’re ready to try and change that in the coming months. The truth is, with review units it is pretty difficult to catch two interesting devices in the office at the same time. Right now we have quite a few […]
Sure, the $1649 Core i7 Pixelbook with its half terabyte of NVMe storage is probably overkill for like ninety-nine percent of Chrome OS natives. Still, sometimes wants outweigh needs and who wouldn’t want the maxed out Google Chromebook. While there are a handful of newer devices on the market that offer more powerful processors, we […]
There had been a bit of a break in news about ‘Atlas’ (which we firmly believe to be the Pixelbook2) since the end of 2018, but things are popping up left and right lately and we’re even inclined to think there’s a good chance that the Pixelbook 2 could make its debut at a smaller […]
Nearly six months after Google’s most recent hardware event in NY, we’re all still sitting here scratching our heads and asking “where is the Pixelbook 2?” By now, I’m sure many have abandoned hope that a refresh of Google’s flagship Chromebook is even going to happen. To you I would say, there is still hope. […]
Ambient light sensors on Chromebooks are nothing new and have been included in a vast array of devices for quite a few years. Up to this point, the only real use for them has been to set the brightness of your display when a Chromebook boots up. Helpful? Yes. What we really want from an […]
Chrome OS 72 is officially available for the majority of Chrome devices but despite a lot of coverage stating it, Android 9 (Pie) appears to only be available on three Chromebooks that we know of at the moment. That may come as a disappointment to most of you who have been looking forward to features […]
President’s Day is usually a great time to grab a deal or two on a new car or perhaps some furniture. (not sure why but furniture stores go hard on the old Pres day advertising) Luckily, we’ve found some sweet Chromebook deals that will save you a few dollars this weekend. Acer Acer has discounted […]
There are a lot of great choices out there right now if you’re in the market for a premium Chromebook. Just today, the 16GB, Core i5 Acer Chromebook Spin 13 showed up online and you can grab one for just under a grand if you want some serious horsepower. Still, there is something almost magical […]
For well over a year, the easy go-to recommendation for the best overall Chromebook has been pretty simple: Pixelbook. For all the other devices around, if someone was asking what device checked the most boxes, the easiest and most obvious choice has been Pixelbook.
If you’re looking to score a great deal on a new Chromebook just in time for the holidays, now is the time. Just about every flagship device on the market is discounted at various retailers and now, the Pixelbook has jumped back on the bandwagon.
We’re fairly confident that the next few months will see the arrival of a second generation Pixelbook from the fine folks in Mountain View. Exciting as that may be, I don’t anticipate any major changes in the rumored refresh of the flagship Chromebook. The 8th gen Kaby Lake chip powering the Chromebook ‘Atlas’ will provide […]
Well, the time has come to address the elephant in the room. October has long passed and with it Google’s annual hardware event. As expected, the Pixel Slate, a.k.a. ‘Nocturne’ made its debut. Love it or hate it, the “tablet first” Chromebook #MadeByGoogle is the belle of the ball at the moment and clearly the […]
