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 […]

Google’s next Chromebook needs to pick up where the Pixelbook Go and Pixel 4a left off
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 […]
The Pixelbook is no more: New Google Chromebook this month?
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 […]
Potential new Pixelbook 2 ‘Halvor’ will come with USB 4.0 and Thunderbolt support
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’ […]
Proof that Google may be making a Pixelbook 2 for 2020 after all
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 […]
Google should ship an updated Pixelbook Go for 2020
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 […]
What a Pixelbook with Google’s Pixel 4a approach to hardware could look like
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 […]
Deal Alert: Save up to $150 when you buy a Pixelbook Go
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 […]
Why we wish Google would give us the Pixelbook 2 and why we think they might not
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 […]
#madebygoogle Chromebook owners can score a Stadia Premiere bundle for $79
Stadia, Google’s streaming gameplay service, just dropped four new titles for Pro subscribers. Despite the fact that Stadia still appears to be struggling from a severe lack of user base, Google is making good on bringing new titles and updated features to the platform. Along with new content and capabilities such as State Share, Google […]
Core m3 Not Pink Pixelbook Go finally appears for preorder
It only took a couple of months after the initial release for Google to offer the Not Pink variation of the premium Pixelbook Go. Unfortunately, the model that is probably most desired by many consumers never made an appearance. The Core m3, 8GB/64GB version of the Pixelbook Go comes in at $649 and it more […]
The best built-in Chromebook webcams you can buy now [VIDEO]
Let’s face it, when it comes to built-in webcams on Chromebooks, the standard fare is less than desirable. For years, webcams have honestly been a basic commodity that have received very little attention, but the pandemic has obviously shed a massive spotlight on laptop webcams across the board and the results have come back fairly […]
