I read and watched a dozen Steam Deck reviews. Why? They can tell you how well Chromebooks and Steam will, or won’t, work.
The new AMD Ryzen 6000 chips just dropped at CES and boy do I wish Google’s hardware partners consider using these. They’d be great for Steam gaming on Chromebooks.
The upcoming MediaTek Kompanio 1300T for Chrome OS tablets is good news. But I keep thinking of that song by The Who and hope we won’t be fooled again.
I found a pair of unannounced laptops this morning. Say hello to the 11.6- and 14-inch Asus Chromebook CX1. Now tell me why they have a CPU from 2016.
CES 2021 might not offer the same level of new products or Chromebook innovations we’ve come to expect. Thanks, 2020.
After testing out my MacBook Air with M1, I’m more convinced than ever that a custom ARM chip for Chromebooks would bring many benefits: Battery life, potentially lower costs for high-end devices and performance based on this Octane score.
Don’t expect many visual changes on the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook2. In fact you might mistake it for the current model based on this leaked image. Look closer though and you can see some important design differences.
Although there are some benefits that Apple iOS and iPad OS developers have compared to Android developers, by and large, using mobile apps on the Mac doesn’t seem that much better than using mobile apps on a Chromebook.
All of these glowing Apple Silicon M1 device reviews have me thinking it’s time for Google to design a similar, modern chipset for Chromebooks. After all, doesn’t the “modern OS” deserve it?
If you’ve held out for a Samsung Galaxy Chromebook, you can find it discounted by $100 today, bringing the price to $899. Just keep in mind that on Black Friday, it will be discounted by $200.
