Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
This is where it all began for Chrome Unboxed. Years ago, we existed simply as a Chrome OS device review channel on YouTube. After expanding our reach, we still remain dedicated to offering timely and thorough reviews of the latest Chrome OS devices. Here you'll find a review of every piece of Chrome OS hardware we've been able to get our hands on.
Back in April of 2019, Acer previewed a Chromebook to the world at their annual hardware reveal that possessed a very unique feature at the time: a number pad on the keyboard. Sure, this is a pretty commonplace item on many Windows devices, but we’d not seen a Chromebook sporting this input method yet and […]
I wrote an article about three weeks ago talking about the Samsung Plus V2, a price drop, and how this Chromebook had finally become one worth your attention. We didn’t really want to re-hash that article, but we did want to give these thoughts some proper video attention over on YouTube because, at the end […]
One of the most frequently asked questions we get goes something like this: “What is the best Chromebook I can get?” That question is then immediately responded to with a question from us: “What is your budget?” After a budget is named, we put our heads together and talk through the best Chromebook near that […]
The first YouTube video Robby ever made was a review of the HP Chromebook 14 and was filmed on his kitchen floor with a Nexus 7 tablet and no tripod. We have come a long way since those days and the gear we’ve used has changed too, but one thing has remained the same: our […]
There’s a good chance that you or someone you know has a child that loves playing Roblox. With nearly 180 million accounts and roughly 12 million monthly active users, someone in your circle likely plays a game inside the ever-expanding Roblox world. We talked recently in a post and in our latest podcast about the […]
The title for this review really says it all, doesn’t it? On the market right now, there is no Chromebook you can purchase that is more powerful than the HP Chromebook x360 14 G1. Not the Pixelbook, not the Pixel Slate, and not even the very-powerful Acer Chromebook Spin 13. No other Chromebook has the […]
Just a couple of years ago, Chromebox choices were getting thin and we weren’t sure if the tiny form-factor had a future. Fast forward to today and there are more choices than you can shake a stick at and that’s a very good thing for consumers like you. From Celeron to Core i7, options and […]
Being productive on the go can sometimes be difficult, especially if most of your work is done at a desk with a second monitor. I have definitely grown accustomed to this dual monitor setup. For instance, when at the coffee shop or away from my desk, I notice that my productivity slows down a lot […]
AMD-powered Chromebooks are a bit of a new breed. No, the hardware isn’t different and the operating system is still the same, but under the hood, these Chromebooks are being powered by a completely new player in the Chrome OS space. AMD is no stranger to personal computing devices, however, and they’ve been a standard […]
Right off the bat, I want to make sure we’re all looking at the Poin2 Chromebook 14 through a very particular lense: the lense of price. You see, when a device drops down into this price range, it becomes quite a bit easier to forgive things that aren’t perfect, and that is exactly the case […]
It’s no secret that accessories – both wired and wireless – made specifically for Chrome OS devices are few and far between. When you look at any store and shop for a mouse, keyboard, case, etc., you’ll be met with a slew of options for both Apple and Windows devices, but you’ll be hard-pressed to […]
As Chromebooks (and, by extension Chromebases and Chromeboxes) continue to become more and more capable devices, more users are choosing to make them their only desktop computers. With that change, we are seeing more questions than ever surrounding desktop setups, what we use on the daily, and how we’d set up a desk with a […]
