Reviews

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.

Acer Chromebook Spin 713 review: the affordable flagship

Acer Chromebook Spin 713 review: the affordable flagship

July 20, 2020 By Robby Payne Leave a Comment

The minute I begin to talk about Chromebooks with things like bright high-res displays, 3:2 aspect ratios, glass trackpads, Core i5 processors, 8GB of RAM, NVMe storage, aluminum build and convertible form factors, I’m sure your mind starts tallying up the price tag of those nicer elements. I know mine does. When Chromebooks have nearly […]

For reasons that go deeper than I care to get into, that title was a tad bit hard to write. I don’t hate Apple. On the contrary, I actually appreciate a lot about Apple’s hardware on a regular basis. I know, for instance, that they are responsible for the smartphone as we know it. They […]

Lenovo IdeaPad 3 review: The little ($169) Chromebook that could [Video]

July 1, 2020 By Gabriel Brangers Leave a Comment

When I drove down to our local Walmart to pick up my online order, I gotta be honest, I wasn’t expecting much. For under $200, I don’t recall very many Chromebooks that deliver any kind of real-world performance. I certainly can’t think of any devices in that price range that I’d actually recommend to anyone. […]

In what is now becoming a semi-annual event around here, the time has come once again to name our favorite Chromebooks of 2020 so far. We like doing this twice a year for some pretty obvious reasons and dead-center in the calendar usually lands us in a place where the first wave of Chrome OS […]

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 […]

Lenovo Flex 5 Chromebook Review: the new measuring stick

Lenovo Flex 5 Chromebook Review: the new measuring stick

June 9, 2020 By Robby Payne Leave a Comment

Chromebooks have come a long way in the decade they have existed. In the early days, it was all about delivering a cheap, affordable device to house Chrome OS on since the software really wasn’t up to the task of being a full-blown replacement for something like Windows, Linux or MacOS. In a lot of […]

Lenovo Chromebook Duet Review: unreal value

Lenovo Chromebook Duet Review: unreal value

May 30, 2020 By Robby Payne Leave a Comment

Let’s get this out of the way up front: Chrome OS on tablets has been pretty bad up to this point. Whether it was the lack of a proper tablet UI, the poorly considered first attempt at a new tablet UI on the Slate, or simply the fault of slow, cheap hardware, the overall experience […]

With the 4K screens on the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook and Pixelbook Go, there’s really no contest

With the 4K screens on the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook and Pixelbook Go, there’s really no contest

May 14, 2020 By Robby Payne Leave a Comment

To be honest, from the start, there was little interest in the Pixelbook Go’s very-expensive 4K configuration right out of the gate. With the standard Pixelbook Go’s great performance, solid screen, incredible build, and overall fantastic user experience, there was little reason for most people to want to pay $1399 for an upgrade in storage […]

May 6, 2020 By Robby Payne Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago we reported that the Lenovo Chromebook 10e was available for purchase from a few different outlets and proceeded to go out and buy one for ourselves. While I never thought for a second that I’d rather have this version of Lenovo’s tablet over the still-unreleased Duet, I did consider this education-focused […]

We bought and used the 4K Pixelbook Go so you don’t have to

May 4, 2020 By Robby Payne Leave a Comment

It is no secret that I love the Pixelbook Go. I’ve tried two of the configurations and though I’d say most people would be fine with the entry-level m3 model that retails for $649, there are some perks to doubling the storage and bumping up performance in the $849 Core i5 model. And even though […]

Samsung Galaxy Chromebook review: pulling out all the stops

Samsung Galaxy Chromebook review: pulling out all the stops

April 27, 2020 By Robby Payne Leave a Comment

The Samsung Galaxy Chromebook is what you get when a company takes a swing at doing everything right, landing all the punches, and delivering on all fronts. When we talk about Chromebooks and what makes them great, the pillars are pretty simple: build quality, screen, keyboard, trackpad, internals/speed, and battery. Most of the other stuff […]

ASUS Chromebook Flip C434 VS Flip C436: sometimes newer isn’t always better

We’ve already unboxed, previewed and reviewed both of the devices we are comparing today, so please check those videos/articles out if you haven’t already. In all likelihood, you’ve read or watched plenty about both of these ASUS Chromebooks and you’re simply here looking for some help on deciding which on is the one for you. […]
