Back in March of this year, we posted about a new Battery Saver on the way to ChromeOS. While there is an Energy Saver for the Chrome browser already out in there in the world, this OS-level battery saver would obviously be meant for Chromebook users: not those on MacOS, Windows, or Linux. While … [Read more...] about The Chromebook Battery Saver is taking shape to allow better battery life on the go

Pixel 8 may include support for Android 14’s improved desktop mode
After years of wishing for something like this from Google, it seems like the Pixel team is finally set to deliver a phone that can be used as a semi-desktop replacement - if inside info from Android Authority is to be believed. As always with this sort of thing, take it all with a grain of salt. … [Read more...] about Pixel 8 may include support for Android 14’s improved desktop mode
Chromebooks are set to get stylus preference settings in an upcoming update
Stylus pens and Chromebooks have been partnered up for quite some time now. Since all the way back in 2017 with the first pen-equipped Chromebooks - the Samsung Chromebook Plus and Pro - we've seen an explosion of devices that now come with pen support. Much of that is due to the wide adoption of … [Read more...] about Chromebooks are set to get stylus preference settings in an upcoming update
Chromebook tablets need two ChromeOS changes to be truly great
In preparation for the official release of the Pixel Tablet just around the corner, I've been doing a bit more research on Android tablets in general. I've used the OnePlus Pad (a friend has one), I've toyed with Samsung tablets, and I've messed around with Apple's latest take on iPadOS. And after … [Read more...] about Chromebook tablets need two ChromeOS changes to be truly great
Lenovo’s big new tablet is beautiful, and proves that ChromeOS is Google’s better desktop OS
Lenovo was kind enough to send over their new, bombastic Tab Extreme that we were lucky enough to handle back at CES 2023, and I'll be honest: I was really, really excited to try out Android as a pseudo-desktop replacement for light workflows. In only a few days, I've realized just how far Android … [Read more...] about Lenovo’s big new tablet is beautiful, and proves that ChromeOS is Google’s better desktop OS
Yet another new Dell Chromebook emerges from the shadows
Dell seems to be content staying out of the consumer Chromebook market. A fact that seems very odd to me given the recent expansion of premium consumer-facing devices from nearly every major OEM out there. I say nearly because no one appears to know what's going on with Samsung but that's another … [Read more...] about Yet another new Dell Chromebook emerges from the shadows
This is the Google Pixel Camera feature I miss most since moving to Samsung
I've been rocking the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra for a few months at this point and I largely don't miss my Pixel 7 Pro on a daily basis. Sure, I still like Google's take on Android far more than Samsung's, but it's not such a wildly-different experience these days. And as I've said before, … [Read more...] about This is the Google Pixel Camera feature I miss most since moving to Samsung
Why next-gen Chromebook tablets may finally give us a great overall ChromeOS pen experience [VIDEO]
USI pen support has been a thing for Chromebooks for quite some time now, but that doesn't really mean that the experience has been what most users want in a stylus for their Chromebook. Artists aside, what most users are really after is the ability to take solid notes and make simple sketches on … [Read more...] about Why next-gen Chromebook tablets may finally give us a great overall ChromeOS pen experience [VIDEO]
The time has come for Samsung to redeem the Galaxy Chromebook
The year was 2020. Three small-town tech bloggers made their way to Las Vegas for what could potentially be the greatest Chromebook reveal in history. Little did we know that three months later we would be smack dab in the throes of a global pandemic but that's a story for another day.

Why is $1000 acceptable for an Android tablet, but not a well-made Chromebook?
A strange dichotomy exists in the tech world right now, and if you weren't shopping for a larger, portable electronic device (i.e. - not a phone), you may not even realize it. What I'm talking about is the perspective disorientation that surrounds high-end, more-expensive Chromebooks. Since … [Read more...] about Why is $1000 acceptable for an Android tablet, but not a well-made Chromebook?
