Cyber Week deals are still dropping left and right. We’ll be sharing out the best savings from around the web as they arrive so you don’t miss out on major discounts on the best ChromeOS devices money can buy. Over the past couple of years, Best Buy has become the go-to retailer for the latest […]
Wear OS 3, which was introduced by Google last year, was the first indication after a long while that the company was finally getting serious about its wearable operating system. However, even with the release of Wear OS 3.5, run by Google’s new flagship Pixel Watch, the experience is still lacking due to the lack […]
Since their debut in early October, we’ve been watching the all-new gaming Chromebooks from Acer, ASUS, and Lenovo for any signs of even the slightest discount. Last week, Lenovo’s IdeaPad Gaming Chromebook went on offer and you can still pick one up for the very respectable price of $599(even less if you click that link). […]
I’ll go ahead and say it: right now, the Acer Chromebook 516 GE is my absolute favorite Chromebook to use. Is it the best overall Chromebook right now? That much is likely up for debate as the lack of touchscreen, the clamshell form factor and the 16-inch size may turn some people off. But for […]
If you search for Google Keep or Google Maps on the Play Store from your wrist using a Wear OS 2 device, neither will appear. This is because they will no longer work for your older device! As Google ramps up its love and attention for Wear OS 3 and the Pixel Watch, older units […]
When it comes to tech companies, I feel like we’re all living in a circus. No matter how honest corporations seem or how charitable you are with them given their mission statements, there’s always that aspect of them where they’re either intentionally or unintentionally dishonest for gain. In a recent lawsuit that was filed by […]
YouTube Music only just began rolling out its “Recap” experience last year and is wrapping up 2022 with a few tricks up its sleeve. Today, Google has announced that you can begin to check your 2022 Recap page on the YouTube Music app and check out your personalized stats from this year, such as your […]
I was pretty straightforward in my review of the Acer Chromebook 516 GE: 120Hz screens are simply fantastic to look at. I love how they look when gaming, sure, but I also really enjoy all the UI animations rendered at 120Hz across the entire ChromeOS system. At least, I thought I did, anyway. As made […]
If you’ve been wanting to get your hands on a Pixel phone but have been holding off until the right deal comes along, I got news for you: Today is your day. Cyber Monday is here, and there are Pixel deals abound. You will find them at the usual suspects in the U.S., such as […]
I just published a post earlier today about some of the productivity features available on Chromebooks that I hold very near and dear to my heart. With great additions like Phone Hub, Tote, Global Media Controls and Virtual Desks, ChromeOS has become a well-rounded operating system that helps me get a lot done in a […]
Just in case you weren’t aware or you’ve completely ignored your inbox for the past few days, it’s Cyber Monday. What does that mean? Well, it means that retailers are trying to ride the Black Friday wave for as long as they can to get you to spend more money in their stores and on […]
The ASUS Chromebook C425 is likely one of two things to you: a blast from the past or a device you’ve never heard of or considered. Either way, there’s a good chance you need a little refresher on this quietly-released ASUS Chromebook that showed up at a slightly-odd time in the overall Chromebook narrative a […]
Price plays a significant part in determining the value of a Chromebook or just about any consumer product for that matter. For example, yesterday I shared a deal on the 16″ ASUS Chromebook Flip CX5601. Currently, you can pick up that 12th Gen flagship convertible for the sale price of only $399. At that price, […]
Material You – Google’s gorgeous, personal design language – is getting a ton of attention at the company now that the foundation for a full makeover across its apps and services has been laid. From Nearby Share, the Chrome browser’s New Tab Page, the Play Store, ChromeOS, and even most recently, Google Collections, Google is […]
As a daily Chromebook user for over 10 years at this point, I’ve been around long enough to see features come and go. Generally speaking, the ChromeOS team has done a great job of adding new features without detracting from the core experience of Chromebooks being speedy, secure, and simple to use. Sure, there have […]
I’ll make this short and sweet. Why? Well, this deal appears to be exclusive to Target and one particular color of the LTE-enabled Pixel Watch has already sold out. As part of Google’s Black Friday week, every authorized Google retailer is selling the wi-fi version of the sleek new Pixel watch at a $50 discount […]
A pivot table is a very popular type of statistical tool that may be used to produce reports that summarize and reorganize chosen columns and rows of data contained within a database or spreadsheet. The spreadsheet or database structure is not altered in any way by the tool but rather helps you visualize the connections […]
The deals just keep coming. This year’s Black Friday/Cyber Monday promotions have been absolutely stellar if you’re in the market for a new Chromebook. We’ve unearthed $200 ChromeOS tablets, ultra-premium flagships at a $400 discount, and just about everything in between but we’re just getting started. Next up in the premium deals category, we have […]
Well, we had Black Friday and then, Small Business Saturday. Tomorrow, more deals will arrive as Cyber Monday kicks off but what about today? Yeah, I have no idea what today is called but that hasn’t stopped Best Buy from dropping some hot new Chromebook deals. I sincerely thought that yesterday’s deal on the powerful […]
Did you know that Google has created a way for you to wrangle the wide, open web? There are constantly billions of pieces of content being published on the internet, and it can be hard to keep track of things that are important to you, but Google Alerts makes it possible to be notified of […]
Using its time-tested and refined algorithms, Gmail does a pretty good job of trying to keep our inboxes free of Spam, Junk emails, and unwanted promotions. It even utilizes inbox tabs to categorize your promotions, social, updates, and forum emails and keep them out of your primary email tab where your actual new emails are […]
As a result of new machine learning models, Gmail rolled out an update back in July, which resulted in search suggestions that were more accurate, customizable, and made more sense. When using the Gmail Search Box to look for a conversation, files, or a coworker’s contact information, you would see better and more relevant contact […]
Remember the Nextbit Robin phone? Most people don’t. It wasn’t a particularly spectacular device, but it did ship with a unique feature that no one else was implementing at the time. The ability to archive your apps and reinstall them right from the app list or home screen may seem like something that should have […]
Earlier this year, Google rolled out the ability to start a Meet call and “bring it to” Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, as well as present to the meeting from either of these applications. This is all part of the Smart Canvas rollout, which aims to deliver the next evolution of collaboration for Google Workspace […]
Six months ago, Zoom popped a little banner up at the top of its Chrome web store application to remind everyone that it would soon be phasing it out in place of the new progressive web app. Well, that time has finally come, and the PWA is now the default experience for Chromebook owners. While […]
The At-a-Glance widget on Pixel phones is part of what makes a Pixel, well, a Pixel. Not only is it part of the DNA and branding of the Pixel Launcher, but is also surprisingly helpful as it has become more proactive through the years. Recently, Google announced some quality-of-life improvements coming to the At-a-Glance widget, […]
Black Friday is now behind us but let’s be honest, the deals aren’t going anywhere. From now until the New Year and beyond, retailers will be offering deep discounts on everything under the sun. There has been no shortage of Chromebook deals and that’s a very good thing because that has not always been the […]
It seems like only yesterday that I was complaining about how Google Collections wouldn’t load on my Android device no matter what I did. It was busted on Google’s end, and no amount of troubleshooting or talking to support helped the situation. If you don’t have a clue what Collections are, I don’t blame you. […]
This week on The Chrome Cast, we spend the first part of the show talking about the crazy deals happening all over the place this week, how you can score some of those (hint: get subscribed to our deals newsletter), and why affordable Chromebooks are getting so interesting. With the Kompanio 520/528 SoCs set to […]
For the third time in a week, we find ourselves talking about the relatively pedestrian Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5i. Don’t get me wrong: this Chromebook is solid and nice to use, but when it was released, the improvements over the original Flex 5 were fine, but nothing truly noteworthy. After all, the build quality is […]
