To an extent, I need to admit that I was wrong. A bit. Well, maybe under-informed is a better term for it. Regardless, I’ve made some pretty sharp statements in the past week or so regarding Chromebook Plus and the naming issue we currently find ourselves in, and in one aspect of that rant, I […]

The Lenovo Flex 3i is only $179 right now, and that is just absurd
It was almost a year ago that we first laid eyes on the Lenovo Flex 3i Chromebook, and I remember remarking all the way back then that there was something a bit different about this little Chromebook.

Continue ReadingAt least one new Chromebook Plus model is finally going back on sale
It’s been a bit of a dry spell for new, branded Chromebook Plus device deals.

We get asked a lot about editing video on Chromebooks. Can it be done? What’s the best tool? What are the limitations? Should I even bother?

Continue ReadingWhy Google needs to add Chromebook Plus to listings for those that meet the criteria
Contents For a bit over a month, we’ve talked a lot about Chromebook Plus. While I love what Google is doing with this new campaign, it’s not without its difficulties right now.

I won’t go on a diatribe about Chromebook Plus branding right now (I did that already today), but it’s a real shame that devices as fantastic as the Acer Chromebook Spin 714 aren’t publicly labeled as Chromebook Plus right now. Sure, devices like this one will never get the new logo on the lid, but […]

Contents Since the debut of the HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook, there’s been a constant that isn’t exactly what you want in a new, high-end device: the lack of one of the two colors available.
