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.
It doesn’t matter what type of device we’re talking about. New Chromebooks get us excited. Whether budget or premium, tablet or clamshell, and everything in between, we love to see new Chrome OS hardware.

Last month, Lenovo quietly rolled out refreshed versions of the 11.6″ and 14″ Chromebook 3 powered by MediaTek’s MT8183 ARM processor. The 11.6″ Flex model showed up on Lenovo’s website last month for $319. This week, Best Buy has listed two configurations of the 14″ model and they are available for purchase should you find […]

![[U: Tweet pulled] Google accidentally announces its Pixel Buds A-Series a bit early](https://chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Pixel-Buds-A-Series-Reveal.jpg){kind=tracking}
Update: In a Tweet that was pulled immediately after being published, Android officially announced the Pixel Buds A-Series with the following graphic promoting Fast Pair. It’s likely that the tweet was auto-scheduled to fire off during Google I/O in a few weeks, but something must have gone wrong. Quality sound and quick Bluetooth pairing. The […]
Well, this is an interesting development – Google’s ‘secret operating system’ that’s not exactly a secret has appeared as the OS installed on a Google Home Hub via a qualification listing on Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest Group) first spotted by Kyle Bradshaw of 9to5Google.

Thanks to a post yesterday over at the official Google Developers Blog, we can feel quite certain that at least some of the ‘significant product updates and announcements’ Sundar Pichai referenced in the earnings call earlier this week will be Google Assistant and smart home related and will happen at the Day 2 Google I/O […]
With the recent arrival of the first of many Tiger Lake Chromebooks in the form of the ASUS Chromebook CX5 this week, it only seems fitting that we’ve uncovered evidence of yet another in development. If you recall from CES 2021, ASUS unveiled 3 new Chromebooks on the way in the CM5, CX5, and CX9. […]
About three weeks ago, HP quietly rolled out an updated version of the very popular Chromebook x360 14c. From the looks of it, nothing has changed at all apart from an update to the 11th Gen Tiger Lake Core i3 processor. This is the same CPU that powers the ASUS Chromebook CX5 that we just […]
We got our hands on the latest hardware from ASUS and let’s just say, the first-ever Tiger Lake Chromebook is proving to be a beast of a device at half the price of some 10th Gen flagship devices. Personally, I’m holding out for the Chromebook CX9 and its quad-core Core i7 Tiger Lake CPU and […]
As we are just inside 3 weeks to go before Google’s I/O developer conference makes its return after a full cancellation of the event in 2020, Sundar Pichai – Alphabet & Google’s CEO – took to prepared remarks in a quarterly earnings call to highlight a few interesting things going on at Google right now.

Last week, Kevin Tofel discovered a new 14″ MediaTek-powered Chromebook that adds to Lenovo’s budget-friendly models in the IdeaPad 3 lineup. Upon further investigation, I discover a companion model in the 11.6″ range that should replace the current IdeaPad Flex 3.
