If you haven’t heard of Google Vids just yet, trust me: you will. Introduced just a couple weeks ago and not set for wide roll-out until June, Google Vids is a new, big swing from Google to give users a tool to build videos from the ground up with a lot of help from AI. […]

For $349, the ASUS CM34 Chromebook Plus is tough to beat
Chromebook deals are fickle and interesting for certain. They come and go, change and evolve, but always make buying decisions very interesting along the way. For instance, today, you can get the well-made, incredibly solid ASUS Chromebook Plus CM34 for a full $150 off, bringing its price down to a ludicrous $349. We’ve seen this […]
Continue ReadingThis needed Chromebook feature could tempt me back to Pixel
It’s no secret that I’ve long since left the Pixel community for Samsung. What started with a move to the excellent Galaxy S23 has culminated in my having the Galaxy Z Fold 5 in my pocket for a solid 5 months at this point and there’s no urge in me to change to anything else […]
Continue ReadingThe best sub-$200 Chromebook deal is back
It’s been a little while, but one of the best super-affordable Chromebook deals is back in the form of the Lenovo Slim 3. While this device clearly isn’t out to break speed records or dazzle users with the latest-greatest hardware on the market, it does a fantastic job of getting the basic really right while […]
Continue ReadingAt $199, this ultra-portable convertible Chromebook is an unbeatable deal
I’ve reviewed a lot of Chromebooks. Nearly all of them, actually, and it is pretty rare that I get my hands on a device, spend a bit of time with it, form an opinion, and then feel the need to retract that opinion months later. Chromebooks are pretty surface-level devices, and generally speaking, what you […]
Continue ReadingHere’s why we’re taking a break from YouTube [VIDEO]
I know a title like that is a pretty loaded one and, to be fair, that’s on purpose. We want you to read this and watch the video, but the reasons are likely a bit different than what you came in thinking they are. I’ll say this right up front: we’re not going anywhere, the […]
Continue ReadingMy favorite Chromebook deal is back, baby!
When I talk about my favorite deals, it doesn’t always mean I’m talking about my favorite devices. There may be a certain Chromebook that isn’t a fit for my needs, but the deal on it still makes it easy to recommend and gets a great user experience in someone’s hands for a small amount of […]
Continue ReadingA few fun facts about the upcoming Chromebook Plus AI wallpapers and backgrounds
We talked earlier this week about our exclusive look at the new AI features on the way for Chromebook Plus, but I wanted to take a few minutes to really look a bit more closely at the wallpaper and video background features that are coming. While “Help me write” is probably the most headline-grabbing addition […]
Continue ReadingSave $200 on the HP x360 14c Chromebook Plus
For this post, I went to the storage room and pulled out one of the first Chromebook Plus models we reviewed just to reacquaint myself a bit. And the moment I picked it up, I quickly remembered why the HP x360 14c Chromebook Plus was both awesome and frustrating at the same time. It is […]
Continue ReadingExclusive: Google demoed the new Chromebook Plus AI features for us [VIDEO]
I’ve been a bit tough on the ChromeOS team of late. From updates with ghost “new features” to the missing AI toys we were promised all the way back in October as Chromebook Plus was launched, I’ve not been shy about calling out Google on these things. As an independent media outlet, we sometimes get […]
Continue ReadingDon’t miss this incredible deal on the ASUS Chromebook Plus CM34
This week, we’ve seen the number of Chromebook deals on offer take a pretty sharp decline. It was destined to happen, though, given the fact that we’ve had 8-10 devices on sale for months at this point. While all the deals didn’t dry up, literally every single one we had posted last week went away […]

Acer Chromebook Plus 514 MSRP – $449.99 “Like the other, new Chromebook Plus devicces, the Acer 514 delivers a solid experience all around without breaking the budget.” Pros Cons There are two main things that Chromebook Plus is supposed to indicate for devices that get that new label on the lid: they need to be […]
Continue ReadingHuge savings on the Acer Chromebook Plus 514 at Costco
One of the new Chromebook Plus models from Acer has been an interesting device to say the least. Only available at Costco, the Acer Chromebook Plus 514 is one that many users may never come across unless they are members of a local Costco store. And that’s a bit of a shame as you’ll soon […]
Continue ReadingThe ASUS Chromebook Vibe CX34 Flip isn’t Chromebook Plus, and that hurts
This morning, a massive deal arrived that saw the powerful, well-equipped ASUS Chromebook Vibe CX34 Flip drop in price all the way down to just $599.99. That $270 savings is significant because price has been one of the primary reasons many potential Chromebook buyers have likely passed on this device. At $870, you have to […]
Continue ReadingThe monster ASUS Chromebook Vibe CX34 Flip is only $599.99 right now
Finally! Debuted at CES 2023 and released in late February right after, the ASUS Chromebook Vibe CX34 Flip is a device that I’ve been very happy with since it showed up. What’s not to like? It gets nearly every part of the high-end Chromebook experience right, it doesn’t have any major flaws, and it looks […]
