Lenovo’s Assistant-powered smart clock was released just this morning and we’ve got one in the house for your unboxing pleasure. We got a glimpse of the tiny smart display at CES Las Vegas back in January and now it’s time to take a closer look. So, without further ado, let’s see what’s in the box.
We’ve been tracking a duo of tablets known only as ‘Flapjack‘ up to this point, but we know a few things about them that make for a duo of compelling entries into the Chrome OS ecosystem. 8-inch and 10-inch tablets with the latest MediaTek 8183 processors, 16:10 FHD screens, and wireless charging make for very […]

We already knew it is being based on the Comet Lake 9th-gen Intel chipset and that it will have a fingerprint scanner, but today we’ve found full evidence that ‘Hatch’ will also employ a garaged stylus.
Still no sign of the elusive Qualcomm Chromebook ‘Cheza’ after months of anticipation and speculation but it looks as though MediaTek may come out swinging in the race to become the first next-generation ARM-powered device on the market. It has been nearly a year since MediaTek’s octa-core MT8183 processor made its way to the Chromium […]
After seeing the new Acer Chromebook 714 and 715 at Acer’s event this week, we can finally use the plural Chromebooks when talking about Chrome OS devices with fingerprint scanners.
