Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
Since we put out our video not too long ago where I admitted to finally breaking down and buying a set of AirPods Pro, I’ve had quite a few questions in regards to using these wireless earbuds with a Chromebook. As many of you already know, I don’t own a whole lot of Apple hardware. […]
It’s that time of year again and whether you have a student returning to a brick and mortar building or staying home for school, the emails and queries on social media have been flooding in that all pose the same question: what Chromebook should I buy for my child that is going Back to School? […]
Earlier this month, the Chrome Developers held a virtual summit called web.dev LIVE over the course of 3 days that set out to deliver updates and guidance to web developers across the globe regarding all the new features Chrome will have moving forward. For common users, it isn’t exactly a simple conference to attend and […]
Robby just dropped his review of Acer’s latest flagship, the Chromebook 713. If there are any doubts about how much we like this device, I can tell you that both Robby and myself are working from a 713 as our default Chromebooks at the moment. Coincidentally, the Acer Chromebook 713 just received an impressive discount […]
Working from home can be challenging, especially if you don’t have a workspace where you can distance yourself from all the homelife distractions that can quickly derail you from your work. In our interview with John Maletis from Google, one of his tips for people who are working from home was to create a dedicated […]
The minute I begin to talk about Chromebooks with things like bright high-res displays, 3:2 aspect ratios, glass trackpads, Core i5 processors, 8GB of RAM, NVMe storage, aluminum build and convertible form factors, I’m sure your mind starts tallying up the price tag of those nicer elements. I know mine does. When Chromebooks have nearly […]

This go-round, we see Fred in the familiar meditating position from the original Nest teaser video that kicked off the month-long promotion.

![Why I Ditched My Google Pixel Buds for the Apple AirPods Pro [VIDEO]](https://chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/AirpodsPro.jpg)
For reasons that go deeper than I care to get into, that title was a tad bit hard to write. I don’t hate Apple. On the contrary, I actually appreciate a lot about Apple’s hardware on a regular basis. I know, for instance, that they are responsible for the smartphone as we know it. They […]
![Lenovo IdeaPad 3 review: The little ($169) Chromebook that could [Video]](https://chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/LenovoChromebook3CheapAffordable169-1.jpg)
When I drove down to our local Walmart to pick up my online order, I gotta be honest, I wasn’t expecting much. For under $200, I don’t recall very many Chromebooks that deliver any kind of real-world performance. I certainly can’t think of any devices in that price range that I’d actually recommend to anyone.

In what is now becoming a semi-annual event around here, the time has come once again to name our favorite Chromebooks of 2020 so far. We like doing this twice a year for some pretty obvious reasons and dead-center in the calendar usually lands us in a place where the first wave of Chrome OS […]
![The best built-in Chromebook webcams you can buy now [VIDEO]](https://chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Webcams.jpg)

For years, webcams have honestly been a basic commodity that have received very little attention, but the pandemic has obviously shed a massive spotlight on laptop webcams across the board and the results have come back fairly […]
Chromebooks have come a long way in the decade they have existed. In the early days, it was all about delivering a cheap, affordable device to house Chrome OS on since the software really wasn’t up to the task of being a full-blown replacement for something like Windows, Linux or MacOS.
