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.
While we still don’t yet know the availability information on ‘Coachz’, it’s not stopping us from getting very excited about the eventual release of this Chrome OS tablet. With an absolute treasure trove of features (fingerprint scanner, wireless charging USI pen, 11-inch 3:2 QHD display, Snapdragon 7c processor, kickstand), this tablet is already lining itself […]

UPDATE – 3/4/2021: There are a ton of new devices being added to the list today. There are new MediaTek boards from both the MT8192 line and MT8195 line, new Snapdragon 7c Chromebook boards, and new Snapdragon SC7280 boards as well. It’s a pretty big update this time around, so dig around a bit and […]
While we’re still in the speculation phase about what chip the SC7280 actually is, it doesn’t mean that development isn’t already cruising along on new boards housing the mysterious silicon from Qualcomm. I still feel confident that the SC7280 is simply a newer generation of the Snapdragon 7c we’ll soon see available inside a few […]

We reported on a phenomenal new tech on its way to Chromebooks via the USI pen standard not long ago. Ufro – the company behind existing pens like the ColorPillar that works on iPads and iPhones – is in the process of bringing their awesome tech to USI pens that will work on Chromebooks as […]
We’ve talked at length about MediaTek and their upcoming Chromebook-specific chips in the past and we’ve even made a video about why exactly these chips will come to play an important roll in the Chrome OS ecosystem in the near future. Those chips, specifically, are the MT8183 (currently in devices like the Lenovo Chromebook Duet), […]
The Qualcomm-powered Chromebook reality is finally right around the corner with devices like the Acer Chromebook Spin 513 (‘Lazor’) already being unveiled back in October of 2020. Though that device hasn’t become officially available and we’re not sure when that will happen, we do know that it is in the cards at this point. In […]
Since Samsung shared that the Galaxy Chromebook 2 would officially launch on March 1st 2021, we’ve been collectively waiting for it’s arrival. With a bit of a different take on the Galaxy Chromebook formula the company laid out with 2020’s original take on the premium Chromebook, we’ve been anxious to see how this pared-down version […]
If you can’t already tell, I’m pretty enamored by the idea of what ‘Coachz’ will likely become. Who doesn’t get excited by an 11-inch, 3:2, QHD detachable Chromebook with the Snapdragon 7c, a kickstand, and a wireless charging USI stylus that will likely connect via magnets on the outside? OK, so not everyone is as […]
It wasn’t too long ago that we unearthed a new contender to the Lenovo Chromebook Duet in the form of a new detachable Chromebook from ASUS. At the time, we only had early retail listings to go off of and a few product-related PDFs, but we were able to piece together most of the story […]
When it comes to Hiroshi Lockheimer making bold tweets regarding software or hardware from Google, the SVP of Android, Chrome, Chrome OS, Play, and Photos usually shows up with some very compelling content. After all, he knows a lot about what is going on behind the scenes at Google and has his hands in many […]
At the ‘Learning With Google’ event that happened a few days ago, there was a ton of new information given about the work happening behind the scenes regarding Google services for the education sector. Michael covered arguably the largest changes happening for both teachers and students in the transition from G Suite for Education to […]
The latest Chromebooks powered by AMD’s Ryzen C-series APUs offer up capable alternatives to Intel-powered devices and who doesn’t love options. That said, our initial hands-on with a couple of Ryzen 5 Chromebooks give us the indication that Intel’s Comet Lake CPUs are still the king of the hill when it comes to raw horsepower […]
