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.
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 […]
![Why I Ditched My Google Pixel Buds for the Apple AirPods Pro [VIDEO]](https://chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/AirpodsPro.jpg)
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]](https://chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/LenovoChromebook3CheapAffordable169-1.jpg)
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. […]
![The best Chromebooks of 2020 so far [VIDEO]](https://chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/bestChromebooksOf2020soFar.jpg)
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 […]
![The best built-in Chromebook webcams you can buy now [VIDEO]](https://chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Webcams.jpg)
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
![The Lenovo Chromebook 10e is a flawed preview of the upcoming Chromebook Duet [VIDEO]](https://chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Lenovo10eChromebookTabletEdu-1920x1125.jpg)
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
