On last week’s episode of The Chrome Cast, we spent a good portion of our time chatting about the new family of Chromebooks from ASUS. The PC maker has dropped three new 11th Gen Tiger Lake devices that have us very excited about the future of Chrome OS flagships and there is a lot here […]
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.
The LTE-enabled Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Go just popped up at AT&T
A little over a month ago, Samsung quietly announced its next budget-friendly Chromebook but this device took a bit of a detour from previous models like the Samsung Chromebook 3. Instead, Samsung has folded the inexpensive Chromebook lineup into the Galaxy family and tossed in the name “Go” just for good measure. Three weeks later, […]
Continue ReadingGet hyped for the new ASUS Flip CX5400 with this quick sizzle video
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 […]
Continue ReadingMore configurations of the upcoming 14-inch ASUS Chromebook Flip CX5400 appear
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 […]
Continue ReadingUpcoming MediaTek ARM Chromebooks are faster than a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865
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 […]
Continue ReadingSamsung teases Galaxy Chromebook Go with LTE and another surprise feature
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 […]
Continue ReadingARM and NVIDIA Gaming Chromebooks are in the works
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 […]
Continue ReadingThe already-excellent ASUS Flip CX5 is getting a higher-spec version
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. […]
Continue ReadingThe drool-worthy ASUS Chromebook CX9 is now up for pre-order
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 […]
Continue ReadingCTL debuts rugged Jasper Lake Chromebook NL72 starting at $289
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 […]
Continue ReadingA new monster ASUS Chromebook Flip emerges in the 14-inch CX5400
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 […]
Continue ReadingThe highly-anticipated ASUS Chromebook CX9 finally makes an appearance, coming soon
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 […]
Continue ReadingMore confirmation that HP is making the Snapdragon 7c Chromebook tablet ‘Coachz’
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 […]
Continue ReadingLenovo’s Core i3 Tiger Lake Flex 5i Chromebook is now available
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 […]
Continue ReadingExclusive: HP set to launch 10th Gen Chromebase with rotating display and B&O audio
In late December of 2020, Robby discovered a new device in the works that could add a new “twist” to the rare all-in-one Chrome OS form-factor. At that time, there were very few details on the new device. While it was being cloned from the ‘Puff” Chromebox baseboard, the addition of a touchscreen and ambient […]
