ARCore Now Available On The Acer Chromebook Tab 10
Up to this point, Google's ARCore has been limited to only phones. The tech is pretty awesome, giving users the ability to see immersive, 3D objects in real space through the included camera.

ASUS Unveils Its First-Ever 15-Inch Chromebook

Linux Apps Coming To MediaTek-Powered Chromebooks Like The Acer R13

Google Pixel Slate Release Date, Pre-order Option Available
Google was very clear that the release date of their new Pixel Slate tablet was still very much to be determined.
