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.
Out of nowhere, ‘Coachz’ has completely managed to capture my imagination when we start talking about upcoming Chromebooks. As I’ve stated many times before, I’m still hopeful that a device will eventually come along that can serve as both a great tablet and a competent desktop Chromebook for actual work. As I type this on […]
We just recently uncovered the existence of a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c Chromebook tablet in the works by the name of ‘Coachz’ that will have a unique feature in its ability to both wirelessly charge up itself and reverse wireless charge accessories. In our digging for more details on ‘Coachz’, we’ve come across a new commit […]
The battle to dominate the premium Chromebook space is quickly heating up as chipmakers begin eyeing Chrome OS as a platform deserving of flagship-caliber performance and features. As it stands, Intel owns that space thanks to this year’s 10th Gen Comet Lake offerings but that could soon change if AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 3700C that powers […]
If our source is accurate, which I’m 99.99% positive it is, Lenovo will soon release an 8GB/128GB variant of the popular Chromebook Flex 5. Personally, this is the Chromebook that I feel Lenovo should have led with when the Flex 5 was debuted at the beginning of the year. However, that’s not the only pony […]
On last week’s episode of The Chrome Cast, we talked in length about the best Chromebooks of 2020. In case you missed it, we just rolled out our “Best of 2020” video in which we crowned a winner in three price categories. In the mid-range category that includes devices ranging from $300-$649, the Acer Chromebook […]
It was no secret to us that ASUS would eventually be dropping a 10th Gen Comet Lake Chromebox. As a matter of fact, it was just Monday that we shared that ASUS’s new mini Chrome OS PC was added to the “unofficial” developer list of board names. That said, ASUS has dropped the news sooner […]
Here we are again. It seems like only yesterday that Robby took to his keyboard to clear up some relatively common misconceptions about how Chromebook motherboards are developed and more importantly how they are named. It all started when rumors started making their way around the web about a certain Chromebook in development code-named ‘Zork’. […]
It’s only been recently that the new Snapdragon 7c-powered tablet with the code name ‘Coachz’ became part of our normal conversations. After all, with the absolute onslaught of upcoming Chrome OS devices on the horizon, it is easy to lose track of all the fun hardware we’re going to be introduced to in the coming […]
As we round out 2020 and begin looking to 2021, we’re in a very interesting time in the Chromebook story. Coming up on 10 years of existence, Chromebooks have hit a stride that I only dreamed of a few years ago. Back then, getting one ‘nice’ Chromebook in any 6 month period was cause for […]
Intel’s 11th Gen Tiger Lake CPUs could very well usher in the next monumental evolution of Chrome OS but the current 10th Gen Comet Lake Chrome OS devices are where it’s at and that’s perfectly fine. Until Chrome OS and its companion operating systems, Linux and Android can fully leverage GPU horsepower, the upcoming Xe […]
![Here’s why MediaTek’s new Chromebook ARM processors are so important [VIDEO]](https://chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/MediaTekThoughtsNewProcessors.jpg)
This week, MediaTek announced a whole bunch of stuff at their annual summit, but buried right in the middle of everything they spoke of, there were 2 new chips officially announced that will be added to the current MediaTek SoC (the MT8183 currently on display in the Lenovo Chromebook Duet and a few others) to […]
MediaTek just wrapped up its annual summit where the company reported on a wide range of subjects ranging from global marketing strategies to R&D and everything in between. This is our first time attending the summit and for obvious reasons, this year’s gathering was held virtually but we couldn’t have been more excited to attend. […]
