I gotta be honest. I was starting the think that, perhaps, Google had abandoned its aspirations to make Chrome OS a viable gaming platform. For months, we have been digging and tinkering with the hopes of getting ‘Borealis‘, a.k.a. Steam for Chrome OS up and running on one of the latest 11th Gen Intel devices […]
Late last year, MediaTek released some early benchmark comparisons of the company’s new Kompanio 820 SoC for mid-range Chromebooks. Those results were based on a variety of benchmark tests where the Arm-based processor went head-to-head with Intel’s latest small-core Jasper Lake N4500 CPU. While the Kompanio put up some impressive numbers and there’s no question […]
If you’re in the market for a new tablet for the little ones, Lenovo has a deal that’s too good to pass up. The lesser-known sibling of the popular Lenovo Chromebook Duet tablet, the 10e Chromebook, offers up the exact same user experience as its consumer-focused counterpart but adds the rigidity of a rugged outer […]
CES 2022 is squarely in the rearview mirror and we have some exciting new Chromebooks to look forward to in the coming months. That said, the current class of Chrome OS devices still offers a wide range of features and form factors to fit just about any price range or use case. Among them, Lenovo’s […]
HP was all set to steal the show at CES 2022 with the companies first-ever Dragonfly Chromebook. While we’re equally as excited about Acer’s upcoming MediaTek-powered Chromebook Spin 513 that’s rocking the flagship-caliber Kompanio 1380 SoC, HP’s 12th Gen Intel Alder Lake Dragonfly will undoubtedly be a powerhouse and it has every bell and whistle […]

Since that time, we have been steadily putting together every puzzle piece we could find to get a full picture of the what and […]
As I sit and write this on Lenovo’s AMD-powered C13 Yoga, I am quickly reminded that there is a lot to love about this very under-hyped Chromebook. While AMD’s “flagship” Chromebook processors haven’t quite lived up to our hopeful expectations, the Ryzen 5 in the model I’m using gets along just fine for moderately heavy […]
Are you still looking for that perfect gift for the tech head in your life? If you missed all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals on a new premium Chromebook, today is your lucky day.

With the explosion of the work from home and remote learning movements, many have been forced to learn much more about computing and network setups than we ever would have liked. As millions of users adopt Chrome OS as their new operating system – whether by choice or not – the question may arise from […]
We’ve all done it. Regardless of your respective operating system, we’ve all done the hunt for a symbol on our keyboards just to find ourselves dismayed and attempting to copy and paste it from another website or a document. For me, it has always been the £ symbol. Whenever I share a deal or a […]
This morning, one of our fine Patrons asked if anyone had seen the 128GB version of HP’s Snapdragon-powered Chromebook x2 11 tablets actually for sale and available. I immediately responded, “I’ve not seen it anywhere” which also prompted me to take a look around and see if, perhaps, it was listed somewhere. Best Buy currently […]
Black Friday has arrived! Well, not really but that doesn’t matter. Many big retailers are running deals all month leading up to the massive shopping holiday that is Black Friday.
