The Chrome Cast 89: Big deals, great gear, & all the Chromebooks we expect in 2021

This week on The Chrome Cast, we spend a bit of time talking through our latest, favorite deals as well as our picks for 2020 Gear of the Year. From $200 Lenovo Duet’s to big sales on AirPods Pro, there are so many deals going on it is a bit dizzying. Between those deals and discussing some of our favorite tech from 2020, it makes for a fun first half of the show.

After the break, our discussion shifts to the future as we explore all the Chromebooks we are expecting in 2021, and let me tell you: it’s an absolute avalanche. While we expect a few more devices could debut before the end of 2020, 2021 looks like a more likely target for nearly every Chromebook we’re keeping tabs on right now. With 7 distinct groups/families of Chromebook on the way, increased interest in Chrome OS, and more manufacturers getting in on Chromebooks than ever before, 2021 is looking like it will be a crazy ride for Chrome OS fans.
