I'm not going to lie to you: there was a real part of me that began wondering if 'Ciri' would be the only new, upcoming Chromebook tablet with the new MediaTek MT8188 inside. We saw a similar situation with the MediaTek Kompanio 1380 and the Acer Chromebook Spin 513, and that exact SoC only made it … [Read more...] about Proof that multiple new MediaTek MT8188 Chromebook tablets are coming

How to force your Chromebook into the tablet mode UI
In preparation for a post I'm working on, I really needed a device that meets a few, specific parameters. First, I needed it to at least be a convertible, and second, I needed it to have the new 12th-gen Intel Core i3-N305. Unfortunately, I don't think that Chromebook exists just yet, and even if … [Read more...] about How to force your Chromebook into the tablet mode UI
Google needs to show the ChromeOS tablet UI some serious love, and soon
Have you used a Chromebook tablet recently? I'd wager if you don't own a Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3 or 5, there's a solid chance the answer to that question is a clear no.

Why I’m considering a Samsung tablet for gaming
This morning, I found myself on OnePlus' website looking at the OnePlus Open. Since it was leaked months ago, I've been fawning over it quite a bit. I hoped that it would arrive at T-Mobile and give me the opportunity to leverage some sort of wacky trade-in deal to get my hands on it, but that … [Read more...] about Why I’m considering a Samsung tablet for gaming
The Discover Samsung Winter Event is packed with tablet deals
If you've been around here for any amount of time, you know that I don't particularly love tablets. I like the idea of tablets, but I tend to find that my smaller-screen usage is better served with my phone and my large-screen tasks usually demand a big screen, keyboard and mouse input. That means … [Read more...] about The Discover Samsung Winter Event is packed with tablet deals

Buying a Pixel Tablet might finally make sense
It's funny how things can change so quickly. Just a few days ago, I hadn't really thought much about the Pixel Tablet since its lackluster debut. The idea of an Android tablet melded with a smart speaker was intriguing but as Robby noted in his review, the lack of Nest Hub/Assistant functionality … [Read more...] about Buying a Pixel Tablet might finally make sense
