Last year when the Pixel Slate was announced there was one piece of hardware not mentioned, one with the codename Atlas. The Atlas has appeared in several leaks last year and has continued to show up in the Chromium repository this year. The folks at About Chromebooks have uncovered some …

Let’s get real, Android tablets are effectively dead. Google has all but given up on them and instead is switching to ChromeOS tablets such as the Pixel Slate. We had a close look at the Acer Chromebook Tab 10 and were left feeling there was something missing, aside from a …

We have seen many leaks of the Pixel 3 phones set to be announced at the Google hardware event in New York in October but until recently we had not seen many Pixelbook 2 leaks. We have heard rumours and have seen mentions in the ChromeOS codebase but now in …

Earlier this year Samsung released the Chromebook Plus and the Chromebook Pro — two high end Chromebooks. They look set to continue in this vain with all clues suggesting a detachable Chromebook in the works. More details have now surfaced that point to the detachable Chromebook also housing a stylus …

This time last year we were all over the Samsung Chromebooks that were on the way — two high end 2-in-1 Chromebooks. They eventuated some time later but they never officially made it to our shores. Now it seems that Samsung are planning to release another innovative Chromebook, a detachable …

Last year, prior to the Pixel phone announcement there was a lot of hype surrounding a possible Google Pixel Chromebook also arriving at the same time, running Andromeda. For one reason or another the Chromebook/laptop failed to materialise and Andromeda was shelved. Fast forward 12 months and we are seeing …

The report of my death was an exaggeration – Mark Twain That famous remark by Mark Twain has been misquoted many times, just as Rick Osterloh of Google seems to have been at MWC this week.  Several days after TechCrunch (followed by the entire blogosphere, ourselves included) took Rick Osterloh’s …

If you’ve been sleeping for the past year you may have missed a few things. Tablets, especially Android Tablets, aren’t doing so well, I wouldn’t call them dead but they are definitely a low volume market. Android apps are coming to ChromeOS, and all indications are it’s actually going to …

Lately all the Chromebook discussion has been around the convertible Chromebooks that are apparently coming sometime in 2017 — notably the Lenovo Yoga and the Samsung Chromebook Pro. Now there is another option on the horizon, a detachable Chromebook. ChromeUnboxed are reporting that they have discovered some fairly “concrete” evidence …

The other day I asked for a show of hands regarding who wanted a Samsung Chromebook Pro (yet to be released or announced officially). Now it seems that we may have been too hasty, with some tasty offerings from Lenovo. We reported yesterday on Lenovo’s confirmation of a Yoga Chromebook, …

Lenovo is simply killing it this year: with the Moto Z and its mods, the first Tango phone and the Yoga Book, Lenovo are on top of their game. When we took a look at the Android-powered Yoga Book we were impressed. However, many people have been clamouring to get their …

At Google IO back in May this year Google announced that Google Play and its apps would be coming to Chromebooks later this year. Then in June it arrived in the Dev channel of Chrome for some Chromebooks, but was yet to arrive for the bulk of Chromebook users who …
