The newest member of the Samsung Chromebook family is upon us, and as we’ve had it in-hand for a few days, we thought it time to give everyone a few first impressions after spending a day or two working from the device. To be honest, we’re refining how we do these videos still, so I’m […]

Be sure to check out the reviews that go with each unboxing.
HP Chromebook x2 Initial Impressions [VIDEO]

AOpen, though not a company that many consumers are aware of, has put together a couple of very interesting devices that could end up in places like your local coffee shop in the near future.
