Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
One of the primary focuses here at Chrome Unboxed is future hardware. After all, our early days were all about new devices! What is coming feels just as important as what is here now, so we will continue looking for the latest and greatest developments in the Chrome OS ecosystem.
As leaks have continued to pile up for Google’s new hardware that is set to be officially unveiled tomorrow, the new Chromecast with Google TV has been front and center in the early hands-on department. There have been numerous reports of this device already on sale and many unboxing and quick-look videos that have surfaced […]
Last night, leaker John Prosser took to Twitter to let the world know that he is 100% confident that Google’s upcoming Pixel 5 phone will cost $699. If for some reason you know nothing of the Pixel 5 up to this point, that price probably sounds fair. It may even sound pretty great considering the […]
And the leaks just keep coming. We now have a full-blown video from Reddit featuring the fluid and fast UI of the new Chromecast with Google TV. Jumping through the interface, it is quite clear that this little dongle isn’t going to be stuck with slow speeds or laggy UI. Instead, moving through tabs and […]
Finding a Chromebook that’s easy on the wallet isn’t an easy task. Finding one that’s inexpensive and isn’t complete trash is even more difficult. When we discovered the dirt-cheap Lenovo Chromebook 3 at our local Walmart for only $169, it goes without saying that we were a little skeptical about how it would perform. Much […]
Now that the new Chromecast packaging has leaked alongside the new Nest Audio speaker, there’s really little we don’t know about these devices at this point. I love the fact that Google isn’t making the silly decision to re-brand their smart TV line of hardware and have chosen to stick with the Chromecast naming. We’ll […]
Well, here we are, a week out from the next Google hardware event, and not only has everything already leaked out, it appears some of the hardware is already sitting on shelves at local Walmart stores and others have shown up in in the hands of Reddit users. Let’s start with the new Nest Audio […]
Just this week, I wrote about Google’s move to rename home-bound devices under the Nest brand and, honestly, I think it’s a move that makes a ton of sense. After all, if they are going to retain Nest in their branding, they needed to go all-in on it. Yet, it seems there might be a […]
HP was the first to let the cat out of the bag with its announcement of the first AMD Ryzen Chromebooks headed to markets later this year but AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) had some news to share of their own about these new chipsets that are built on the Zen architecture. The Athlon and Ryzen […]
In a post over on Medium yesterday, Intel made official what we’ve known for quite some time: 11th-gen Tiger Lake Chromebooks are coming and they will be a big upgrade to the current generation of devices on the market. That’s not to say the 10th-gen Comet Lake Chromebooks we have right now are slouches, but […]
We are coming up on Google’s fall hardware event and it is just 9 days away at this point. We expect to see new Pixel phones, a new Chromecast with Google TV, and a new Google-made speaker that stands to replace the original Google Home that went out of commission a few months back. Nearly […]
At this point, everything we’re expecting to see at Google’s hardware event on September 30th has all been leaked. We know about the new Nest speaker that will replace the aging, original Google Home. We know about the Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5 that Google already leaked out themselves. And we know that a […]
It’s been quite some time since we’ve talked about ‘Asurada’ and what we expect from it. Developed as the main platform for MediaTek’s mysterious MT8192 chipset, we’ve seen plenty of movement on the board’s overall development, but very little in the way of ‘Asurada’ spreading its wings and being duplicated into other boards. Like we […]
