The Chrome Cast 176: Snapdragon 8cx Chromebooks and new Pixel hardware gets closer

This week on The Chrome Cast, we begin the show by first announcing our latest – and largest ever – giveaway: 30 Logitech ChromePacks that are full of great accessories for the Chromebook-equipped classroom. These backpacks come loaded with a keyboard, mouse, Blue microphone, headset, and webcam – and one winner will be lucky enough to get them all in order to outfit an entire classroom of students. We’re so excited to partner with Logitech for this giveaway that runs throughout the month of July! More details can be found in the link in the show notes.

Our conversations for this week revolved around new features on the way for Snapdragon 8cx Chromebooks in development, new leaks about the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, and how much we’re all looking forward to the imminent release and arrival of the Pixel 6a and Pixel Buds Pro. With the Pixel Buds Pro specifically, we all think Google has the chance to deliver a truly fantastic experience if all the features they highlighted all work as expected. With only a few weeks left to wait, we’ll know soon enough.
