No official word from the Chrome Release Blog but according to the update server, Chrome OS 69 has started rolling out to a handful of Chromebooks.

Two weeks ago, the Chrome OS team pulled the trigger on the update to version 68 of our favorite operating system but alas, all was not well. In the days following, most users were able to receive the update but a nasty bug promted the team of developers to halt the release due some pretty […]

It has turned into a busy Friday here at the Chrome Unboxed office and we’re just getting started. We have Chrome OS news spilling over so fast it’s a juggling act just trying to keep it all straight. In the midst of it all, the Chrome team decided it was time to push out version […]
For the second time since its release, Google’s Pixelbook has suffered a minor bug that has left the device labeled as “uncertified” by the Google Play Store. The first instance happened back in November and resulted in the Netflix Android app failing to install as the Pixelbook wasn’t registering as a compatible device. The most […]
There’s a lot of buzz around the in-development Crostini Project for Chrome OS and the potential impact it could have on the entire Chromebook ecosystem. We’re really hoping that in just under two weeks, developers will give us some insight into the roadmap for Linux apps on Chrome OS as they gather for the annual […]
Last week, Chrome OS was updated to version 65 and with that update, many new features both big and small were introduced. One of the things we really want to do with this update is to show some of the new, interesting additions to the OS and talk about what makes them important. Today will […]
Better late than never, right? Slated for the end of 2017, making phone calls from Google Home was a feature delayed for users in the United Kingdom. Yesterday, the community manager of the Google Home product forum officially announced that the feature has now been turned on.
