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.
In a landscape dominated by convertibles and clamshells, the HP Chromebook x2 arrives on the scene with a bold, distinctive and important claim: the world’s first detachable Chromebook. It is a neat trick to be sure, but without the proper performance, build quality and user experience to go along with it, a separating form factor […]
We’ve known for some time the day would come where we would review the world’s first Chrome OS-powered tablet. We weren’t exactly sure who would make it or what it would look like in the end, but we knew it was coming. With both convertibles and detachables making it to market before it, the Acer […]
For most products, most of the time, we unbox them when they show up at the office, spend some time with them, and then create a review. The Google Home Max has been a bit of a different beast, though. Without having a slew of new, undiscovered functionality or a unique set of specs, this […]
The title up there was written on purpose. The Acer Chromebook 15 is nothing if not underwhelming on the spec sheet. As we go through the specifics of this device, it would be easy to consider writing off this machine based individual stats. Other than one area, this Chromebook isn’t the best at anything. Not […]
A question we get around here quite frequently goes something like this: What sort of accessories do you all use with your Chromebooks? Instead of just rattling off a few peripherals, we decided to make a video highlighting things that we’ve purchased and been given that we use on a regular basis.
In a Chromebook landscape that now holds the Pixelbook, Samsung Chromebook Pro and the ASUS Flip C302, comparison videos are not only helpful, they are insanely intruiging. Look, we get it! Devices that share the flagship-type status need to be measured, compared, and put against one another. With all the similarities between the Pixelbook and […]
Arguably the most-requested comparison we’ve ever had is between the Samsung Chromebook Pro and the newly-released Pixelbook. For good reason, these two devices make a very, very interesting comparison. With their similar screens, fast internals and dedicated pens, a comparison video was not only likely; it was inevitable. So, we’ve gone and made one for […]
Oh how a couple years changes things. Just over two years ago, Chrome Unboxed (as a website news outlet) didn’t exist, our videos were simple cellphone-on-a-tripod shots, and the landscape of Chromebooks was much, much different. For instance, The ASUS Chromebook Flip C100 came on the scene as an absolute aberration. Fully-aluminum bodies, touchscreens, and […]
Who is the Pixelbook for? We’ve heard that question quite a bit since the very first leak back in September before Google’s big hardware event. With top-tier specs, Chrome OS, a premium build and pricetag, the early questions surrounding the Pixelbook are less about what it does and what it is and more about who this thing is targeted at.
As a device that has been rumored and leaked for quite some time, the Google Home Mini doesn’t exactly come in as a surprise or shock. It doesn’t even really do anything new when compared with the year-old Google Home. As a matter of fact, it even manages to do a few things less adeptly. […]
The Lenovo Flex 11 Chromebook may very well be one of the most underrated devices of 2017. I’ve had some extensive hands-on time with the rugged convertible and in that time it has proven itself by performing just as well as Chromebooks at twice the price.
The newest Chromebook on offer from HP features an Apollo Lake processor, 8GB or 4GB or RAM, 32GB or 64GB of storage, a convertible hinge and an EMR stylus. With a spec sheet so loaded up, we expect this device to impress on many levels. Will be impressed or let down?
