If I were to use just one word to describe ASUS’ latest Chromebook, that word would be interesting. The way it showed up in Bluetooth listings without us having any prior knowledge of it was interesting. The official announcement that it was to launch in the UK first was interesting. The low-key, behind the scenes […]

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.
Opinion: Why I haven’t bought the Pixel 4 yet [VIDEO]
As I type this opening sentence on the surprisingly-great Pixelbook Go, I’m subtly reminded of what makes a great piece of hardware. The sweet spot sits somewhere between a finely crafted physical thing that is pleasing to look at, hold or touch and the way that thing goes about getting you to the digital, software-driven […]
Continue Reading3 things I love about Pixelbook Go after 1 week [VIDEO]
Just a couple days after Google’s hardware event in New York wrapped up last week, our very own Pixelbook Go showed up in the office and I’ve been using it off and on ever since. As timing would have it, I’m in the middle of 3 other reviews right now, so I’m splitting time between […]
Continue ReadingASUS Chromebook C425 Review
We’re getting to the point with Chromebooks where there are so many new ones hitting the market that new models simply pop up out of nowhere and are on sale before we even know they exist. That’s the case for the ASUS C425 as it simply appeared a few weeks ago in an Amazon listing […]

Back in May of this year, we took a trip up to New York to take part in Acer’s annual hardware event and got to spend a bit of time with the Acer Chromebook 714 and 715. We came away from the event pretty impressed by this new duo of Chromebooks namely because of two […]
Continue ReadingHP Chromebook 15 review: The first Chromebook with a number pad
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 […]
Continue ReadingSamsung Chromebook Plus V2 after 10 months: is it still worth it?
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 […]
Continue ReadingThe best Chromebooks of 2019 so far
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 […]
Continue ReadingHow We Make YouTube Videos Has Changed [VIDEO]
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 […]

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 […]
Continue ReadingProductivity On The Go! Wimaxit Portable Touchscreen Monitor [VIDEO]
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 […]
Continue ReadingHP Chromebook 14 Review: The Cost of Affordability
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 […]
