This week on The Chrome Cast, we reflect a bit on the early success of Google's new Pixel 4a and what may come with the announced Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5. With Google now firmly planted in the mid-range phone space with no clear indication that a flagship device is coming anytime soon, I suppose it … [Read more...] about The Chrome Cast 73: Google’s Pixel 4a reality and Chrome OS phone dreams

Why we wish Google would give us the Pixelbook 2 and why we think they might not
I will never forget the build up to the second #madebyGoogle event in 2017. The anticipation. The excitement. Between the new Pixel 2 phones, a smaller Google Home speaker, the second iteration of Daydream view, and - of course - the Pixelbook, we were insanely excited by all that Google was … [Read more...] about Why we wish Google would give us the Pixelbook 2 and why we think they might not
It is time for Chrome OS to fix this long-standing, ridiculous issue
We've had high resolution Chromebooks dating all the way back to the original 2013 Chromebook Pixel and as the years have progressed, far more have been added to that lineup in devices like the Pixelbook, Samsung Chromebook Plus/Pro, HP Chromebook x2, Pixel Slate, and many more. High-res displays … [Read more...] about It is time for Chrome OS to fix this long-standing, ridiculous issue
The Acer Spin 713 was delivered 48 hours after being announced and it should always be this way
I haven't fully reviewed the Acer Chromebook Spin 713 in the customary way we normally do because it has only been official as a publicly-announced Chromebook for a little over 3 days at this point. Our hands-on video gets across much of what I'm still feeling about this device and my time with it … [Read more...] about The Acer Spin 713 was delivered 48 hours after being announced and it should always be this way
As new Pixelbook 2 release rumors swirl, let’s take a look at some actual facts
Yesterday, a post went up on Tom's Guide titled Google Pixelbook 2 release date, specs and rumors and, despite the fact that I'm insanely eager to find anything remotely resembling a link to a Google-made Chromebook for 2020, this post is simply misleading.

We bought and used the 4K Pixelbook Go so you don’t have to
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 I … [Read more...] about We bought and used the 4K Pixelbook Go so you don’t have to
Intel’s “hybrid” Alder Lake CPU spotted in Chrome OS development
Chrome OS has matured to the point that development has reached a place of near-parity with other, more-seasoned operating systems. There was something exciting about arriving at CES 2020 and seeing not one but two Chromebooks bearing the torch for Intel's Project Athena initiative. The Samsung … [Read more...] about Intel’s “hybrid” Alder Lake CPU spotted in Chrome OS development

Small, light, … [Read more...] about The next generation of Chrome OS tablets will have fast UFS storage options

Chrome OS 80 is here after a brief hiatus
We just put pen to paper this morning about the strange absence of Chrome OS 80. Usually, Chrome OS updates travel through the different levels of Stable, Beta, and Developer Channels on a routine, 6-week schedule. Though the Beta and Developer Channels had already moved on to 81 and 82 … [Read more...] about Chrome OS 80 is here after a brief hiatus
Google Pixel Buds 2 show up briefly at B&H, signaling imminent release
When Google announced the next version of the Pixel Buds, I was entranced. They put up a very alluring video at the October hardware event and just as my earbud dreams were coming true, my hopes were shattered with the 'coming in Spring of 2020' announcement. It honestly felt like a gut … [Read more...] about Google Pixel Buds 2 show up briefly at B&H, signaling imminent release
