Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
First up, some caveats apply with this one. We’ll get into those as we flesh out what is going on here, but there’s a reason we put ‘possible’ in the title and that needs to heavily weigh in as we consider the ramifications of what we are seeing, here. And, what is that, exactly? Well, […]
In a not-totally-surprising move yesterday, Google hinted very strongly that another #madebyGoogle device is in the works and will be announced “down the road.” At the annual Cloud Next event, in a session titled Google Hardware For Business, a juicy hint was dropped that is making it quite clear that Google is not out of […]
Though we have some mighty contenders in the market right now, there’s still just something magic about the Pixelbook. From its unique aesthetic to its superior build, unmatched keyboard to gorgeous screen; the Pixelbook still delivers a top-notch Chromebook experience even 18 months after its launch.
Well, it has now been just over a year since the Chromebook known as ‘Atlas’ emerged in the Chromium repository and quickly had us chomping at the bit for a successor to Google’s Pixelbook. Today, we have a few videos to share of the elusive would-be-Pixelbook but unfortunately, they leave us with more questions than […]
When it comes to getting the best deal on a new Chromebook, going outside of the manufacturer’s website can often save you hundreds of dollars but there is a dark side that some users have had the misfortune of finding out the hard way. Amazon is a “prime” place to find Chromebooks of just about […]
Google’s flagship Chromebook has been consistently on sale over at Amazon for a couple of months now and you can grab one on any given day for around $850. Even the top-tier Core i7 model has enjoyed some serious discounts being listed for as much as $530 off the $1649 MSRP in recent weeks. If […]
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 […]
