The Chrome Cast 196: 120Hz gaming on GeForce NOW and loving the Pixel Watch

This week on The Chrome Cast, our discussion mainly revolved around some real world reactions to services and hardware that have shown up in the past couple weeks. Between the new gaming Chromebooks, GeForce NOW providing 120Hz gaming for Chrome, a Pixel Buds Pro firmware update, and actually spending some time using the Pixel Watch as a daily-wear device, we all obviously have some thoughts.

For the first time ever, I’m gaming with regularity on my Chromebook, and the Acer Chromebook 514 GE has been a perfect companion for it. On that same note, the latest Pixel Buds Pro update finally fixed the horrid latency these earbuds shipped with earlier in the year, and after a solid week of actually putting the Pixel Watch on all our wrist on a daily basis, it’s clear that though this watch may have a few issues here and there, it is currently an office favorite here at Chrome Unboxed.
