As always, right from the beginning, please take this sort of speculative rumor with a grain of salt. There’s nothing about this that is verified through Google and while I want it to be true with everything in me, there’s no reason outside of hope to believe that this is 100% accurate. However, if you […]
Continue ReadingUpcoming Devices
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.
Chromebook tablet ‘Geralt’ is being tested with at least one pretty solid camera
As promised, more details are bubbling to the surface for ‘Geralt’ – the detachable ChromeOS tablet reference board that is breathing new life and excitement into the Chromebook tablet world once again. Though a period went by where we weren’t certain that we’d see any new tablets, ‘Geralt’ (and hopefully a handful of tablets that […]
Continue ReadingNew info says the Pixel Fold and Pixel 7a release dates will be in June
According to a recent bit of intel obtained from a retailer by a very reliable leaker – Roland Quandt (@rquandt) – WinFuture is reporting that we should expect to see Google release their first-ever folding phone as early as June 2023. While the Pixel Fold has leaked all over the place in the past few […]
Continue ReadingAMD is still in the mix as new Ryzen 6000 Chromebooks begin development
You’d be forgiven for forgetting that there are more AMD-powered Chromebooks on the way at some point in the future. Thus far, AMD Chromebooks haven’t really caught on and have continually been eclipsed by devices with silicon from Intel, MediaTek, and Qualcomm on the inside. It’s not that AMD Chromebooks have been bad; it’s just […]
Continue ReadingIt looks like a new Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 sequel is in the works
Now this is a sequel I can get very, very excited about! As what I would call the best overall ChromeOS tablet you can purchase right now, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 absolutely deserves a sequel like we saw in the Duet 3 (upgraded from the original 10-inch Duet). The Duet 5 gets so many […]
Continue ReadingASUS’ new Chromebook CM14 Flip gets a sweet landing page with more details
At CES 2023, there were a handful of Chromebooks we were expecting to see, and a couple that we had no idea about. That latter category describes the new ASUS Chromebook CM14 and CM14 Flip: two Chromebooks we were completely blind-sided by at CES that really could end up becoming go-to recommendations for those looking […]
Continue ReadingThere’s a new detachable Chromebook tablet in the works with the MediaTek MT8188 on board
Just last week, we found evidence pointing to the resurgence of the beloved detachable Chromebook form factor in development. For quite some time, things have been pretty quiet on that front and we’ve been wondering if or when we might finally see a manufacturer take another swing at the Chromebook tablet form factor. Our findings […]
Continue ReadingHP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook is in the office: quick sneak peek [VIDEO]
If you saw our hands-on video of the HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook from Las Vegas at CES 2023 and liked what you saw in that one, there’s good news: we now have our review unit in the office and are sharing a bit more about it on video today. Here’s the thing: as with most […]
Continue ReadingAnother NVIDIA GPU-equipped Chromebook is in the works
Well, that makes two. I’m unsure how many other Chromebooks we’ll see hit the development cycle with NVIDIA GPUs inside, but if you told me just a few years ago that we’d have even one, I wouldn’t have believed you. Yet, here we are with evidence of a second Chromebook in the works that will […]
Continue ReadingThe MediaTek-powered Chromebook tablet ‘Geralt’ is being tested with a great screen
As we unveiled yesterday, work is ongoing with a new baseboard called ‘Geralt’ that will finally give us a few ChromeOS tablets with internal processors that should be fantastic for work, creativity and consumption as well. While we’ve had some great detachable devices like the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 and Duet 3, none of the […]
Continue ReadingExclusive: New Chromebook tablets are in the works with powerful MediaTek processors inside
Finally!! I’ve been scouring the Chromium Repositories for months at this point looking for signs of life in the tablet/detachable Chromebook space. While we have a few nice models available right now, there are some powerful new fanless ARM options out there that would make a great fit in a new breed of Chromebook tablets. […]
Continue ReadingYet another new Chromebox is on the way, this time it might be from Dell
Dell has been wildly quiet on the Chromebook front of late. Since the introduction of a couple high-end, expensive enterprise-focused Chromebooks back in 2020, Dell has been absent in the general Chromebook release cycles that companies like HP, Acer, ASUS, and Lenovo have been quite active in. We’ve had eyes on a few devices that […]
Continue ReadingThe new HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook is now listed on Google’s Chromebook website
As we inch closer and closer to the full availability of the HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook, we’re now seeing the not-yet-released device on Google’s own Chromebook discovery site. At a recent reviewer’s workshop we attended in New York, we got a bit more time with this fantastic Chromebook and what I am allowed to share […]
Continue ReadingWalmart is launching a new onn. 4K Android TV device very soon
If the rumors are true and I have no reason to believe otherwise, Google has a new Chromecast w/Google TV in the works. We don’t have any details on what this update to Google’s streaming dongle will bring nor do we have any inclination as to when it will be announced. As of the publication […]
Continue ReadingThe latest HP x360 Fortis Chromebook for education has arrived
Another day, another EDU Chromebook announcement. This time, it’s HP. The latest addition to the PC makers education-focused Chromebook fleet comes in the form of an 11.6″ convertible that once again bears the HP Fortis branding. On the surface, the new 2-in-1 doesn’t look that much different than past devices but it does come with […]
