We see this question floating around the web quite a bit: will my AirPods work with a Pixel? The simple answer is, of course, yes! Though AirPods (or AirPods Pro) are designed to work best with Apple products, they are still Bluetooth earbuds that can be connected to a wide variety of devices. As a […]

The 144Hz ASUS Vibe Gaming Chromebook is $100 off at Best Buy
Since their debut in early October, we’ve been watching the all-new gaming Chromebooks from Acer, ASUS, and Lenovo for any signs of even the slightest discount. Last week, Lenovo’s IdeaPad Gaming Chromebook went on offer and you can still pick one up for the very respectable price of $599(even less if you click that link). […]
Continue ReadingQuietly, Google makes Virtual Desk templates available in ChromeOS 107 Stable
I just published a post earlier today about some of the productivity features available on Chromebooks that I hold very near and dear to my heart. With great additions like Phone Hub, Tote, Global Media Controls and Virtual Desks, ChromeOS has become a well-rounded operating system that helps me get a lot done in a […]
Continue ReadingThis well-built convertible Chromebook is only $149($450 off MSRP)
Price plays a significant part in determining the value of a Chromebook or just about any consumer product for that matter. For example, yesterday I shared a deal on the 16″ ASUS Chromebook Flip CX5601. Currently, you can pick up that 12th Gen flagship convertible for the sale price of only $399. At that price, […]
Continue ReadingAt $250 off, this 16-inch ASUS Chromebook Flip CX5 is a steal
The deals just keep coming. This year’s Black Friday/Cyber Monday promotions have been absolutely stellar if you’re in the market for a new Chromebook. We’ve unearthed $200 ChromeOS tablets, ultra-premium flagships at a $400 discount, and just about everything in between but we’re just getting started. Next up in the premium deals category, we have […]
Continue ReadingMassive deal brings the Core i3 Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5i to an even crazier $269
For the third time in a week, we find ourselves talking about the relatively pedestrian Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5i. Don’t get me wrong: this Chromebook is solid and nice to use, but when it was released, the improvements over the original Flex 5 were fine, but nothing truly noteworthy. After all, the build quality is […]

MediaTek has made a name for itself as the leading chip maker for ARM-powered Chromebooks and this week, the company ascended on Sonoma, California to announce its latest offerings in the SoC space.

Continue ReadingTurning the “Chromebook Killer” into a killer little Chromebook with ChromeOS Flex [VIDEO]
When we traveled up to New York last month, we were able to tour the ChromeOS Flex labs to get a bit more insight on how Google confirms the viability of ChromeOS Flex on aging laptops. I wrote a whole post about all this already, so I won’t repeat myself again except to say that […]
Continue ReadingGoogle Translate is no longer available in China “due to low usage”
China is well known for its extreme and often insane censorship laws, and over the years, Google has had a near impossible time running its services there. Back in 2019, the company tried to get project “Dragonfly” up and running. This was a version of Google Search that was tailored to work in conjunction with […]
Continue ReadingMake way for the IWA (Isolated Web App)
Android applications. Linux packages. Applications delivery on ChromeOS has grown exponentially over the past few years but one platform, in particular, has revolutionized app delivery across all operating systems. Of course, I’m talking about Progressive Web Apps. PWAs have evolved to the point that it’s becoming increasingly difficult to discern between them and natively installed […]
Continue ReadingGoogle Play Books finally adds a ‘Wishlist’ button to its bottom navigation
I’ve been very vocal about the fact that the Google Play Store’s ‘Wishlist’ feature has become a mess of books, movies, games and apps that users will likely never dig through after adding them again. The problem is two fold. First, Google does virtually nothing to remind you of what’s on your list through Store […]

The Developer Preview versions of Android 13 have been around since early February, giving Developers a look into this iteration of Android’s core themes of privacy, security, developer productivity, and tablet and large screen support.

We’re only a month out from Google I/O 2022 at this point, and that means any hardware set to debut at the yearly developer conference is also right around the corner. We’ve seen plenty of leaks and insider info on what could show up at the event, and it feels pretty certain Google will use […]
