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.

We get requests for versus videos all the time, but there are scenarios where these types of videos provide lots of interest and intrigue, and situations where they just don’t make sense. We try to pit very similar devices against one another in the hopes that it helps members of our audience make the best […]

I have long been a lover of watches. I’m not a connoisseur, per se. I simply like a nice looking timepiece. I’ve owned some relatively expensive pieces from Bulova and the like but I’ve also enjoyed cheap, no-name watches I’ve found at overstock shops. Some of my favorite go-to watches cost little more than $100 […]
The wireless Bluetooth earbud market has exploded in the last couple of years, mainly thanks to the Apple AirPods and the market they created when they removed the 3.55 mm headphone jack from the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. There are now a plethora of Bluetooth headphones on the market, ranging in price and functionality, […]
This isn’t a review, per se, but a look back on all the time we’ve spent with one of the most-used pieces of tech in our office. Like a good refrigerator or washing machine, devices like the Google Home Max can become so embedded in your day-to-day routine that it becomes easy to forget how […]

One of the devices we were quite sure we’d see here at CES 2020 was the ASUS Chromebook C436 and, though we knew quite a bit about it before we even flew out to Las Vegas, there were clearly parts of this device that were still shrouded in mystery. After seeing the absolutely stunning Samsung […]

Lenovo brought an interesting device to CES 2020 in the form of a new 10.1-inch Chrome OS tablet. If I’m honest, my first inclination was to expect a sub-par, plastic, flimsy tablet with a mediocre screen and questionable performance. After all, Chromebook tablets have been pretty bad up to this point, choosing to cut nearly […]
![Hands-on & first impressions with the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook [VIDEO]](https://cdn-0.chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/SamsungGalaxyChromebook-1.jpg)
The official day one of CES 2020 is coming to a close and we got the opportunity to spend some quality time with the fantastic new Chromebook from Samsung while at the show today, and I can confirm that this Chromebook is easily the best Chromebook money can buy at this point in the game. […]
Part of the overall charm that exists when buying or considering a Chromebook for your next computer lies in the ability to get a working laptop that does what you need at a price that comes in far below what you were expecting. Even the “high-end” Chromebooks on the market are far below what you’d […]

It’s that time of year where we get a little bit reflective and sentimental about the year that has passed. 2019 has been a good one for Chromebooks and Chrome OS with a ton of great devices making their debuts along the way. We did something like this back in the middle of the year […]
![Stadia turns one month old and I have some thoughts [VIDEO]](https://cdn-0.chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/stadiaOneMonthThoughtsReview.jpg)
Stadia has just rolled over the one month mark since launch, and in that time, many things have been corrected, added, and cleaned up. More games have arrived, more of the initial, promised features have shown up, and the early wrinkles have already started ironing themselves out. It feels insanely easy to forget that this […]
![Why you should buy the Google Nest Mini instead of the Home Mini every time [VIDEO]](https://cdn-0.chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/nestHomeMiniGoogleBetterSecondGen-2000x1125.jpg)
Back in October at Google’s Hardware event, one of the new pieces of hardware was a discrete, modest, but very meaningful update to the cheapest in-home device in Google’s lineup: the Google Home Mini. That device is single-handedly responsible for the ingress of the Google Assistant into countless homes due to its diminutive size and […]
![Why Razer’s new wireless earbuds replaced AirPods in my pocket [VIDEO]](https://cdn-0.chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/RazerHammerheadAppleAirpodGamingBluetooth.jpg)
Over the past year or so, I’ve somehow turned my buying/returning attention to headphones. Without realizing it, I noticed 4 sets of wireless earbuds on my shelf and I thought to myself, “How did this happen?” I suppose it applies to nearly anything with me, but I’m always in search of that one thing that […]
