New Daily Digest From CHROME UNBOXED

View this email in your browser Google has quietly launched a Pixel Buds PWA for Chromebooks in the Play Store Basically by accident today, I found a new Pixel Buds PWA in the Google Play Store that looks to be meant for Chromebooks. It all started as I was sitting down to write while on this cruise ship (fall break vacation) and wanted to adjust my earbuds a bit. You may wonder why I didn’t […] Read More Some websites pretend your Chromebook has a virus. Here's how to get rid of the notifications Back when I was a Chromebook Expert in Best Buy, I can’t tell you how many customers came to me and told me that their Chromebook had a virus. Now, I probably don’t need to tell you that Chromebooks don’t get viruses, but just as a reminder, ChromeOS isn’t affected by the same privacy and […] Read More Massive deals on 3 non-branded Chromebook Plus models: save up to $250 As I said in a prior post, the devices included in the group of 8 new Chromebook Plus models that were already technically on the market (the HP Chromebook x360 14c, HP Chromebook 15.6″, Lenovo Flex 5i, Lenovo Slim 3i, and ASUS CM34 Flip) are all going to be pushed off the shelves to make […] Read More Why the new Chromebook Plus commercial for Best Buy matters Here’s the brutal truth: Chromebooks have suffered from the beginning from pretty poor overall marketing. Unlike tablets or smartphones, Chromebooks simply don’t get the same face time with potential buyers by way of more-standard marketing techniques. TV commercials, YouTube commercials, etc. tend to only feature Chromebooks here and there, and every time we’ve thought that […] Read More Google Meet adds 1080p video prompt for group calls, likely as a part of Chromebook Plus efforts In a recent Keyword blog post, Google just announced that Meet will prioritize 1080p Full HD for group call resolution going forward. Of course, this will only occur if your camera supports 1080p, which most do. Before today, this was only automatically toggled for those in one-to-one calls. Here’s how it works – upon joining […] Read More Acer's $999 Chromebook Spin 714 packs in premium upgrades [VIDEO] One of Acer’s latest Chromebook releases is a higher-end version of their quite-excellent Spin 714. While many consumers may balk at the idea of just about any $1,000 Chromebook, it’s clear that Acer is aiming to add in some great, additional features to their wining formula in the Spin 714 to take things fully to […] Read More The Pixel Watch 2 does not support wireless charging Google’s Pixel Watch 2 might bear an uncanny resemblance to its predecessor, but there’s more to it than meets the eye. The new smartwatch from Google includes some solid upgrades this year, like better performance from a quad-core CPU, three new sensors to capture better activity data, longer battery life, and even a new Safety […] Read More Google Shopping kills Saves and Price Tracking, wants you to use Collections and the web instead I was browsing Google Shopping on the web from my phone yesterday when I realized a new banner was showing at the top of the page. It read, “We’re making changes to saves and price tracking. Learn how you can still access these features.” However, upon further inspection, I was pleasantly surprised at Google’s approach […] Read More Google wastes no time restoring speaker group features for Nest devices after Sonos lawsuit verdict After a rather tangled affair in court due to Sonos’ patent infringement allegations, which led to Google forcing your Nest speakers, displays, or Chromecasts to pair only to one speaker group at a time, I have some good news for you. Google just won in litigation, and is immediately rolling out updates to reverse some […] Read More Move Over Prime Day: Best Buy Launches 48-Hour Flash Sale As the holiday season looms closer and closer, retailers are getting a jumpstart on sales to draw consumers’ attention, and the shoppers’ wallets. While Prime Day often steals the show, this year, Best Buy wants you to know that Amazon isn’t the only place to score a good deal on tech and has launched its […] Read More Join our Patreon community and get access to things like behind-the-scenes footage, early access to videos, private Discord server access, an ad-free experience on the mobile and desktop versions of the website, your name listed on all our YouTube videos, and monthly live stream Q&A.
