Latest Giveaway: Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Go! Enter To Win Here!
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.
Late last year, MediaTek released some early benchmark comparisons of the company’s new Kompanio 820 SoC for mid-range Chromebooks. Those results were based on a variety of benchmark tests where the Arm-based processor went head-to-head with Intel’s latest small-core Jasper Lake N4500 CPU. While the Kompanio put up some impressive numbers and there’s no question […]
It’s no secret that we’re pretty excited to see what Google has cooking in the foldable Pixel Notepad. Everything is rumor up to this point, so be sure you take that into consideration any time we make mention of this unreleased, unverified, and still unknown phone. But don’t let that take away a bit of […]
BETT is billed as one of the world’s largest Education Technology conferences and it has historically taken place around the end of January or the beginning of February. That changed when COVID-19 decided to derail nearly everyone’s plans for the better part of two years. Canceled last year, BETT 2022 has been pushed back to […]
At this point, I don’t think any of us are doubting the existence of the Pixel Watch. Sure, for years we all expected Google to get in the wearables game with a Pixel-branded watch and were constantly let down, but the leaks and proof of this yet-unreleased device are too overwhelming to ignore at this […]
For as long as I’ve been a Chromebook fan, I’ve waited for Dell to make an XPS Chromebook. For Dell, XPS is the top-of-the-line laptop and all their best, newest, most innovative ideas get funneled into this line each year. One the first XPS innovations I remember drooling over was the XPS 13’s tiny bezels […]
![MediaTek’s new Kompanio 1380 ARM processor is really, really fast [VIDEO]](https://chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/MediaTekKompanio1380ARMprocessor.jpeg)
As a part of CES 2022, we have the new Acer Chromebook Spin 513 in the office and inside this handsome Chromebook is an SoC that we’ve been very, very excited to see in action: the MediaTek Kompanio 1380. To be fair, we thought the Kompanio 1200 was the model we would be looking out […]
Welcome to 2022 where CES might as well have been 100% virtual and most PC makers are content to simply launch new products on their own schedules. Personally, I’m all for it. As much as I like attending in-person events, a good majority of Chromebook-related releases require far less fanfare and a virtual press event […]
In a move that looks likely to happen, the device we’ve been colloquially referring to as the Pixel Fold may be going by a completely different name: the Pixel Notepad. Yep, that’s really what it might go by. While I’m already not a fan of this naming, I can kind of see what Google might […]
Logitech has unveiled a new USI pen that is directly focused on the education sector. Dubbed the Logitech Pen, this interesting stylus has a few nice tricks up its sleeve and is one of those accessories who’s thoughtful design makes me excited to see where the USI initiative will go over the coming months and […]
Google’s Pixel Fold (the name we’re giving it until we have something else) has been a hot topic of discussion for quite some time. At one point we thought it would arrive by year’s end and would likely be at least hinted at in Google’s October hardware event, but that clearly didn’t happen. Then we […]
We were as bummed out as anyone with the rise in the Omicron variant that forced us to forego this year’s in-person CES event. We knew a few great Chromebooks would be at the show and that made us all even more upset that we’d likely not get our hands on them until a later […]
Every year with CES is a bit different for us. With Chromebooks, you just never know which companies are going to show up what, and it is sometimes hard to know which companies are going to bring anything Chrome OS-related at all. As for HP, as long as we’ve been attending CES – in-person or […]
