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.

Back a couple weeks ago when we broke the news of the Samsung Chromebook Pro, there was a very, very loose date attached to the leak. Provided by a quickly-removed B&H listing, we had thin hope that the device would show up on or before October 24th. It clearly did not.

A couple weeks back we reported on a new Skylake Chromebook codenamed ‘Caroline‘. What we know about ‘Caroline’ is very little limited.

In a rush to get the news out to everyone as quickly as possible yesterday, I overlooked some details by making an assumption that others were anticipating the Samsung Chromebook Pro as much as we were.

Where Is The Chromebook #MadeByGoogle?
Made. By. Google. It has a certain enigmatic appeal to it. On one hand, it seems a strange, fairy-tale we’ve all talked about but never really believed in. On the other hand, it makes perfect sense.
