Since we’ve been tracking the new generation of MediaTek-powered Chrome OS devices, we’ve known some would end up as tablets and/or detachables. Of the five (yes, 5) MediaTek 8183 devices we’re tracking, we’re quite sure one is a detachable and another is a tablet. We’ve talked about ‘Kodama’ already and the clear references to its […]

It was a little over a month ago that we uncovered a new, mysterious MediaTek chip entering development for Chromebooks. Since late in 2020, we’ve been aware of MediaTek’s ambitions in the Chrome OS space with their new MT8192 and MT8195 chips (Kompanio 820 and 1200, respectively) and, honestly, we’ve been waiting patiently for some […]

Unlike last month’s delayed release of Chrome OS 90, version 91 of the OS looks to be rolling out swiftly following the official announcement yesteday afternoon. With Chrome OS getting regular updates every 6 weeks, the announcement from Google that a new version is available can sometimes be followed by a bit of a waiting […]
Continue ReadingAnother MediaTek Chrome OS tablet is coming to battle the Lenovo Chromebook Duet
It wasn’t that long ago that the ASUS Detachable Chromebook CM3 showed up and became the first real competition to the very-popular Lenovo Chromebook Duet. While we still don’t know exactly which Chromebook the ASUS CM3 is, I have a strong suspicion that it is ‘Kakadu’ mainly because that baseboard was the only one we’ve […]
Continue ReadingTwo new Snapdragon SC7280 Chromebook boards enter development
While we’re still in the speculation phase about what chip the SC7280 actually is, it doesn’t mean that development isn’t already cruising along on new boards housing the mysterious silicon from Qualcomm. I still feel confident that the SC7280 is simply a newer generation of the Snapdragon 7c we’ll soon see available inside a few […]

Continue ReadingExclusive: the ASUS Chromebook Flip CM3000 tablet is the first real Lenovo Duet contender
Since its introduction over a year ago at this point, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet has been in a league all its own. After all, before it arrived and since it began shipping, there’s not been a Chromebook quite like it. Lenovo upended the low end of the Chromebook spectrum with a solid tablet that can […]

I’ve said it before and I’ll likely say it again: there are tons of upcoming Chromebooks for 2021. The number is already staggering, and there are more rolling in week after week. With so many development boards out there, it gets tough to keep track of them all. We’re trying our best to keep everything […]

We can all agree that 2020 hasn’t exactly been the best year. One for the record books? Sure. But for all the wrong reasons. While it’s turned out to be a year that most of us would like to forget, I’m reminded that even in the midst of mess, there can be good there, too. […]
Continue ReadingAnother next-gen MediaTek ARM Chromebook begins development
It’s been quite some time since we’ve talked about ‘Asurada’ and what we expect from it. Developed as the main platform for MediaTek’s mysterious MT8192 chipset, we’ve seen plenty of movement on the board’s overall development, but very little in the way of ‘Asurada’ spreading its wings and being duplicated into other boards. Like we […]
Continue ReadingConfirmed: Qualcomm Snapdragon-powered Chrome OS tablet is on the way
In all the development that has happened over the course of nearly 3 years with Snapdragon chips and Chromebooks, one thing has always felt a bit out of place to me: the lack of a tablet option. As this year began and the hype around the Lenovo Chromebook Duet ensued, it became quite clear that […]
Continue ReadingTime to add a ton of Chromebooks to the list of upcoming devices
I remember a day when finding one new Chromebook development board was cause for celebration and excitement. I remember the thrill of the hunt and the days following a new find, filled with digging and questions around what this new Chromebook would end up becoming. Those were simpler days and we always knew there would […]

From what we can tell at this point in 2020, there is little standing in the way of continued Chromebook development.
