Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
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.
We’re just around the corner from the release of the new ASUS Chromebook Flip CX5400 and if I’m being frank about it, I’m pretty excited. I loved the Flip C302 and the Flip C434 was my daily driver for quite some time. Though I was let down by the price and overall package of the […]
We’re still a bit out from the official arrival of the new ASUS Chromebook Flip CX5400, but it shouldn’t be much longer before this Chromebook begins hitting store shelves. With all the new ASUS hardware on the menu, it is easy to lose track of which is which, so let’s take a second for a […]
We’ve been hearing quite a bit about MediaTek, ARM, and Chromebooks for the past few months. And for good reason: MediaTek has grown by leaps and bounds over the past few years and their interest in Chromebooks has ballooned in that same time. With the MT8183 in devices like the Lenovo Chromebook Duet, MediaTek cemented […]
Last month, Samsung took the wraps off of the all-new Galaxy Chromebook Go. While there was little fanfare around the announcement, the response from our readers tells me that the hype over this 14″ budget-friendly Chromebook is real. With its muted silver chassis and starkly contrasting black keyboard deck, the new Galaxy Chromebook Go is […]
One day soon we will see serious Arm gaming Chromebooks. With realistic ray-traced graphics. Rendered on a NVIDIA graphics card. Pinch me, I must be dreaming! A few months ago, our very own Gabriel Brangers reported on an official announcement from NVIDIA about them combining an Arm CPU with an NVIDIA RTX dGPU. This is […]
We’ve reviewed the ASUS CX5 (the 15-inch version) and in most ways, it is a fantastic machine. The 11th-gen Intel Tiger Lake Core i3 has more speed than nearly anything we’ve every tested, the 8GB of RAM is plenty, and the 128GB of NVMe storage allows the user plenty of fast, local storage to use. […]
Yesterday, the Chromebook that I have been waiting impatiently for months to get my hands on finally popped in ASUS’ online store. At that time, the ASUS Chromebook CX9 with its gorgeous design and feature-rich spec sheet was listed as “coming soon” which led me to believe that it would be available in the coming […]
The new school year will be upon us before you know it and CTL has slid in just in time to bring a new Chromebook to market that could be an impressive upgrade for districts looking to upgrade an aging fleet of devices. The all-new CTL Chromebook NL72 and NL72T feature the latest Intel Jasper […]
In a move that is both surprising and a tad bit confusing, ASUS has unveiled yet another new Chromebook with a name that is way too similar to an already-launched device here in 2021. If you remember, ASUS showed up to CES 2021 with a few new Chromebooks and one of them (our favorite so […]
11th Gen Tiger Lake Chromebooks are turning up more frequently these days but there is one device, in particular, that has me salivating. The ASUS Chromebook CX9 was announced alongside the already-released Chromebook CX5 and CM5 but the ultra-premium business-minded clamshell quietly disappeared from ASUS’ website. Every day, I poke around the web to see […]
If you’ve spent any time at all here at Chrome Unboxed, you’ve likely read all about ‘Coachz’. This upcoming device sports an absolute litany of features, with the highlight being a detachable form factor and Snapdragon 7c processor inside. Addtionally, ‘Coachz’ will come with a 3:2 high-res screen, a magnetically-attaching rechargeable USI pen, a fingerprint […]
Last month, Lenovo unveiled its latest Chrome OS devices powered by Intel’s 11th Gen Tiger Lake CPUs. While we were surprised by the all-new 14″ Chromebook 5i, we knew that a refreshed version of the popular Chromebook Flex 5 would be in the mix. Just recently, the Pentium version of the new Flex 5i turned […]
