As always, right from the beginning, please take this sort of speculative rumor with a grain of salt. There’s nothing about this that is verified through Google and while I want it to be true with everything in me, there’s no reason outside of hope to believe that this is 100% accurate. However, if you […]
Not long ago, news surfaced that Mojang was readying a version of Minecraft built specifically for Chromebooks and, for many of you out there, that was enough. Whether it is for you personally or for your kiddos, the real, no-workaround arrival of Minecraft for Chromebooks is a big enough deal that it really needs no […]
Chrome’s Side Panel feature has become instrumental in making the browsing experience better and more personal for me and many others since it initially launched. For anyone unfamiliar, it’s a nifty little tool that houses your Bookmarks, sticky notes (coming soon), History Journeys, Read Later articles, and more. It truly is a one-stop shop for […]
Cue the As Seen On TV infomercial host! Do you struggle staying on task at work? Are you constantly finding yourself mindlessly scrolling through Facebook when you should be balancing spreadsheets? Are you addicted to Bored Panda? If this sounds familiar, do we have a deal for you. Okay, maybe that’s a bit exaggerated and […]
It looks like Google Calendar may soon roll out a new feature that allows you to manually add birthdays with notifications on Android. This was first spotted by a user on Twitter by the name of @AssembleDebug, who showed off an early-look video of the step-by-step process. The new approach allows you to “Get reminders […]
It wouldn’t be a Monday morning if I didn’t have a new deal on a premium Chromebook to share with you. Today, we’ve landed back on HP’s popular 14-inch convertible that features a very capable 11th Gen Intel Core i3, 8GB of RAM, and a respectable 128GB of storage. If you’ve spent any amount of […]
If you’ve been around our little corner of the web for any amount of time, you’re probably aware that we absolutely LOVE to give stuff away. Chromebooks, smart home stuff, swag, whatever! We have the best readers and followers out there and any chance we get to pay the love forward, we do not hesitate. […]
You’re probably already familiar with Google’s Smart Canvas features in its Workspace apps like Docs, Sheets, and Slides. Smart Canvas is a set of tools for anyone who’s interested in websites like Notion, but who prefers to work directly inside the tech giant’s ecosystem instead (it is where everyone else is, after all!) Anyone who’s […]
Over the past few years, Google has been pushing its Collections feature, which allows users to collect and store interesting or useful information from across the web and curate content for collaboration. This feature has been integrated into pretty much all of Google’s services, including Maps. When you save a place in Google Maps, it […]
This week on The Chrome Cast, the star of the show is – without doubt – the HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook. And though some odd news about abysmal battery has made waves on the web, the overwhelming response to this device for everyone we’ve shown it to is massively positive, and we feel that it […]
While YouTube TV recently added a new “standalone” pricing option, it’s also losing content partners and dropping channels left and right. Now, it’s starting to resemble traditional cable TV plans and slowly creeping its way up to their base costs it originally aimed to compete against for cord-cutters with the new price increase it just […]
Fast Pair is a pretty nifty service that Google has had up their sleeve for a few years at this point. While it has been around since 2017 technically, the actual implementation of Fast Pair has been a bit slow and hit-or-miss across the board. While many Android phones have taken advantage of it for […]
Last month, Google announced that it would be increasing the price of its Workspace plans, and now, that pricing is officially being observed. The company made this move to “reflect the value” in its products and services, which have undergone numerous improvements and changes (some controversial) in recent years. The price increase varies depending on […]
Can you ride a camel on your Chromebook? Why yes, yes you can! At least, you will be able to when Minecraft: Bedrock Edition officially (re)launches on Chromebooks with the release of the 1.20 Trails & Tales update. This new update brings camels to the game as a new mount option, allowing players to saddle […]
Minecraft, the world’s most popular game, is officially launching on Chromebooks after a brief hiatus from the Google Play Store. Players previously had the ability to install it on ChromeOS for a few months before it was pulled by Microsoft in 2020 due to device specifications and the fact that most Chromebooks simply didn’t meet […]
![HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook review: the no-contest King of Chromebooks [VIDEO]](https://chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/HPDragonflyProChromebookReviewFeature-564x317.jpg)
By this point, you’ve likely seen our coverage (or someone else’s) of the HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook. It’s been in the public eye since early January at CES 2023 and it’s been in my hands for just over a month at this point, so I feel like many of you watching this video know what […]
When it comes to premium, consumer-facing Chromebooks, two models have dominated the space for the past few years. One being the Spin Chromebook lineup from Acer and the other is HP’s wildly popular Chromebook x360 14. In years past, Acer has annually launched a 13.5″ convertible with the latest Core i5 from Intel and it […]
Google just hinted that it may start implementing stricter measures against “task killer” apps with the release of Android 14. These apps are designed to force-stop background processes in order to free up memory and save battery life. However, they can often do more harm than good. Android already has built-in measures to manage tasks […]
Good news for Fitbit users! Google, the new parent company for that health-centric wearable on your wrist, has announced that they’re making the Health Metrics Dashboard feature available for free to all users, without the need for a premium subscription! Normally, users would have to pay a monthly cost to access information on their breathing […]
BOOM! Pixel Drop. The first batch of new Pixel-specific features has finally arrived for 2023. Past Pixel Drops generally focused on new features for the latest Pixel phones but this time around, Google has plonked down a plethora of updates for older devices and even some new tricks for the Pixel Watch. Let’s take a […]
Here we sit in March – about 7 months from the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro’s likely release date – with full-blown renders of what the latest phone from Google will look like. Since the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, things have been iterative on Google’s end, so there’s not a lot of […]
Google is always looking for ways to help its users work smarter and more efficiently. In recent years, the company has made great strides in using AI and machine learning to give users features like Smart Compose, Smart Reply, Docs Summaries, and more. Now, it’s taking things to the next level with the addition of […]
Ladies and gentlemen, hold on to your hats because Google Play Games for PC is expanding and it’s bringing six new games to the service! That’s right, during the Google for Games Summit, the company announced that it would launch beyond its current availability and land in Japan and Europe over the “coming months”. Unfortunately, […]
You’d be forgiven for forgetting that there are more AMD-powered Chromebooks on the way at some point in the future. Thus far, AMD Chromebooks haven’t really caught on and have continually been eclipsed by devices with silicon from Intel, MediaTek, and Qualcomm on the inside. It’s not that AMD Chromebooks have been bad; it’s just […]
Of all the mediums out there used to communicate a thought or phrase, perhaps none is as perfect as the animated GIF. Grabbing just the right scene from a show or movie can get your point across like nothing else, and finding the right GIF when you need it most is one of the great […]
Apparently, Monday is a great day to buy a new Chromebook! I’ve already highlighted two killer deals on two powerful gaming Chromebooks along with some serious savings on the best ChromeOS tablet on the market. If those deals don’t tickle your fancy, you’re in luck. I have one more deal up my sleeve and it […]
I woke up this morning to discover that Best Buy has discounted quite a few of our favorite Chromebooks and you stand to save as much as $200 on a late-model, premium ChromeOS laptop. I’ll be sharing out my weekly Top 5 Deals post later today but first, I wanted to give you the heads […]
Now this is a sequel I can get very, very excited about! As what I would call the best overall ChromeOS tablet you can purchase right now, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 absolutely deserves a sequel like we saw in the Duet 3 (upgraded from the original 10-inch Duet). The Duet 5 gets so many […]
The newly released gaming Chromebooks from Acer, ASUS, and Lenovo are so much more than just niche laptops for those that enjoy some casual game play. Offering the latest Intel processors, ample amounts of RAM and storage, and many of the features you’d expect from a premium Chromebook, these laptops are suited equally well for […]
Google has been making strides in improving the sign-in experience for its users. Since last year, the company has been actively seeking ways to reduce the traditional use of passwords (read: It wants to kill passwords entirely). Now, the tech giant has unveiled its latest update to the passkey initiative. In a recent post on […]
