Unboxing/First Impressions

Quietly and seemingly in the shadows of the release of the HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook, HP released an update to one of their best-selling mid-high-end Chromebooks in the x360 14c. This device has been released as the x360 for many years, but the most-recent design cues have been present since the past two releases. Versions […]

As we inch closer and closer to the release of the HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook, we’ve been fortunate enough to not only get our hands on our existing Ceramic White review version of this beautiful Chromebook, but on the Sparkling Black one as well. Though the same rules apply as last time around (we can’t […]

An anomaly if there ever was one, the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 360 is a device that makes little sense in a bunch of ways. So confounding was it that we put off doing an unboxing until now simply because we couldn’t get Samsung to agree to send one over to us. Stating that they […]

As much as I’ve talked about the upcoming HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook since CES 2023, there’s a good chance you’ve heard me mention one of my favorite parts of this fresh, new take on a high-end, consumer-focused Chromebook: the simplified branding. The Dragonfly Pro will come in one configuration with one simple name and two […]

Even though we had a quick hands-on time with the brand-new ASUS Chromebook Vibe CX34 Flip (let’s go with Vibe CX34 from here on out) at CES 2023 in Las Vegas, those impressions can be misleading. Between the noise, the crowds, and basic exhaustion, it is easy to misread a new device. And it can […]

One of the first Chromebooks we’ve had the opportunity to check out here in Las Vegas at CES 2023 is the brand-new Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3i that was announced a few weeks back. If you recall, this Chromebook brings a lot to the table for an affordable device and could greatly change the landscape of […]

In the fall of 2022, Google put together a launch of 3 cloud gaming-focused Chromebooks: one from Acer, one from Lenovo, and one from ASUS. We’ve either unboxed or reviewed the Acer and Lenovo variants of this new take on the large-screened Chromebook, but up until now, we’ve not talked much about the ASUS attempt. […]

Though there are countless Chromebooks out there to be interested in, there aren’t near as many processors. We generally see the same large and small core offerings from Intel each year, but the other players in the ChromeOS game have been upping their output. We now have a couple Snapdragon models (and one notable new […]

For the most part, unboxing a new Chromebook is a pretty standard thing. You usually get a Chromebook in some sort of paper-like sleeve, a charger, and a big cardboard box. While I fully support recyclable packaging for Chromebooks, I also appreciate when companies like Acer – with their Chromebook Vero 514 – take the […]

Our first run in with one of the three new cloud gaming-focused Chromebooks went very well, making the Acer Chromebook 516 GE one of my absolute favorite laptops of the year at this point. Lenovo’s contribution to this slightly-niche Chromebook space is the Ideapad Gaming Chromebook and it offers much of the same stuff that […]

This week, Google took the cover off a new Chromebook initiative that brings together the big three game streaming services (R.I.P. Stadia), ChromeOS, and some new hardware to deliver what they feel is the best overall way to experience game streaming. While streaming your favorite titles from GeForce NOW is certainly possible on nearly any […]
