Over the years, there are a few games I’ve used to test the overall viability of Android gaming on a Chromebook. There are really three levels of gaming activity when I sit and think about it.

Logitech’s Casa Pop-Up Desk arrives at Best Buy March 21st
We’ve been talking about the new-ish Logitech Casa Pop-Up Desk quite a bit lately, and that’s for good reason. This rather inventive new accessory accomplishes a lot for Chromebook users all in one, tidy package and it might finally give us an accessory we’ve waited on for ChromeOS for a very, very long time. And […]
Continue ReadingWhy the Lacros Chrome browser may arrive on Chromebooks very soon
In running a few tests the other day, I ended up putting one of our office-dwelling Chromebooks in the Canary Channel of ChromeOS 124. Full disclosure, I was seeing if I could get the new ChromeOS App Mall to appear. I could not, unfortunately, even with all the clear and obvious flags turned on. In […]
Continue ReadingThe Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 is back to $349 and worth a look
It’s oddly been a little while since we highlighted a deal on the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5. And you’d be forgiven for overlooking it in our daily deals post (that gets updated regularly) thanks to the solid list of Chromebooks currently available at discounted prices. On it’s own, the Duet 5 for $150 off is […]

HP 15.6-inch Chromebook Plus MSRP – $499.00 “Chromebook Plus makes for a very enjoyable, solid Chromebook experience. This is just as true with HP’s 15.6-inch Chromebook as it is with all the rest of them.” Pros Cons Part of the overall appeal of Chromebook Plus at this point is the fact that there seems to […]
Continue ReadingIf the Slim 3i Chromebook Plus stays at $339.99, it’s the one to beat
For a Chromebook that refused to go on sale for a long time after it launched last fall, the Lenovo Slim 3i Chromebook Plus has now enjoyed one of the longest continued sale prices we’ve ever seen on any Chromebook at this point. Dating all the way back to February 19th, this excellent Chromebook has […]
Continue ReadingBig savings return for my favorite Chromebook: the Acer 516 GE
You know, I beat around the bush a lot when talking about which of the current crop of Chromebooks is my favorite, but deep down I’ve known which one holds that title. The Acer Chromebook 516 GE has been a faithful companion at the office, on the road, and on vacations for well over a […]
Continue ReadingLogitech’s Casa Pop-Up Desk: a real option for a wireless Chromebook trackpad?
I have a love/hate relationship with Chromebooks and trackpads. On one hand, I love a smooth, glass trackpad with a satisfying click mechanism. On the other, I don’t love the ergonomic position I’m in all day if the built-in trackpad on my Chromebook is my only way to navigate on-screen. I love navigating with gestures, […]
Continue ReadingSave big on arguably the best Chromebook you can buy in-store
We’ve been talking a lot lately about Chromebook Plus. There are good reasons for that, of course, and I think the conversation around these well-priced, well-made, well-spec’d devices will only continue. But we’re still in the span of time where there are other Chromebooks that emerged just before the new Chromebook Plus branding happened that […]
Continue ReadingAgainst all odds, this top-notch Chromebook Plus is still at its lowest-ever price
For months after its release, the Lenovo Slim 3i Chromebook Plus was always one of my favorites, but rarely – if ever – on sale. While I don’t think the standard $549.99 asking price is terrible, it’s been up against constant deals since it arrived on the scene; add that to the fact that it […]
Continue ReadingAt this price, the Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook Plus is the one to buy right now
As we near the end of our reviews on Chromebook Plus models (the new, branded ones, that is), one thing has remained constant throughout: these devices provide solid user experiences. Sure, some models cut corners where I wish they wouldn’t, but even the more affordable Chromebook Plus devices of the bunch still manage to deliver […]
Continue ReadingUsing a Pixelbook in 2024: is it still just as amazing? [VIDEO]
I remember it like it was yesterday: watching Google announce the Pixelbook on stage at the 2nd-ever October hardware event they hosted in San Fransisco. It was a crowning achievement in my eyes, seeing a Chromebook up on stage right alongside the new Pixel hardware. And, even though it took a lot of the tech […]
Continue ReadingBig Chromebook Plus models, small $299 prices
The new Chromebook Plus lineup has a little bit of everything. Apart from a proper tablet option, there’s a Chromebook Plus model that likely fits what you are looking for. From large to small, convertibles to clamshells, there’s a bit of something for everyone with Chromebook Plus. Now, that doesn’t mean all these devices are […]
Continue ReadingHP’s latest Chromebook Plus drops to a price that makes more sense
Ah, the HP Chromebook Plus x360 14c – a device that is frustratingly great at getting so much of the Chromebook Plus equation right while missing on a few things that could have easily made it an absolute superstar. It’s a Chromebook that really does hit high points in many respects, but the few spots […]

It was just under a week ago that the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 saw its largest price decrease down to only $349. Now, as we enter the final days of February and into the early parts of March, Best Buy has dropped the price of this attractive device once again, taking a full $400 off […]
