View this email in your browser Maryland set to give away 133,000 Chromebooks to citizens in need Maryland Governor Wes Moore just made a pretty substantial announcement: a whopping $27.2 million is being injected into an effort to get free Chromebooks to those who need them all over the state. The Maryland Office of Statewide Broadband is rolling this out as the Connected Devices Program with a mission to hand out over […] Read More Google launches the new Chrome Web Store, and I have some high hopes After testing it in a preview capacity for nearly 3 months, the new, redesigned Chrome Web Store is now officially rolling out across the web. And with it comes a new Material You facelift, new Chrome Extension categories, a simplified navigation and improved search. While the preview lived on a separate URL during testing, you […] Read More The two best Chromebook Tablets you can buy are both on sale There’s no question about it: until another challenger comes (likely in the first half of 2024), the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 and Duet 3 are the absolute best tablets you can buy that run ChromeOS. And that is an important distinction. While there’s no shortage of affordable tablets out there, none of them will deliver […] Read More GeForce NOW is offering 3-months of free XBOX PC Game Pass We haven’t talked too much about GeForce NOW lately, but that’s not due to any slowdown on their part. From time to time, I hop in a match of Fortnite or APEX Legends just to remind myself how terrible I am at these games (while simultaneously wanting to be good) and I’m blown away each […] Read More Better Wi-Fi, Better Chromebooks: MediaTek announces new Wi-Fi 7 chips Given the always-connected nature of Chromebooks, when you have a great Wi-Fi connection, your user experience is naturally going to be better. MediaTek is trying to help make it even better with its latest Filogic chips, setting the stage for a new range of Wi-Fi 7 enabled devices. These chips will find their place in […] Read More I'm shocked that these two sub-$200 Chromebook deals are still going It truly is the shopping season, ladies and gentlemen. Two absurd Chromebook deals from last week that I was convinced wouldn’t make it through the weekend are both still in play and still absolutely unreal. The Lenovo Slim 3 Chromebook and the Flex 3i Chromebook are both slashed down below $200 and, depending on what […] Read More Samsung's potential Chromebook Plus looks to be a convertible We talked not long ago about a new Chromebook in development that clearly looks to be a Samsung device with some variation of the Intel Alder Lake-N processor on board. That could mean it is a low-end device with the N100 or N200 or it could mean Samsung is going for a new Chromebook Plus […] Read More New Chromebook Plus deals: save up to $320 on most Chromebook Plus models right now As I predicted, the wait for new Chromebook Plus deals didn’t take too long. As much as I am frustrated with Google not quite getting the messaging right around both these new devices and the existing models that are also now upgraded to Chromebook Plus status, I am very excited by Chromebook Plus overall. I […] Read More One of my absolute favorite Chromebooks is $200 off right now in the Acer 516 GE For someone like me who handles different Chromebooks every time I turn around, the mark of what makes my favorite device is pretty clear: it’s what’s in my bag. You see, I swap through all sorts of Chromebooks on my desk on a revolving basis for reviews, testing, and research. Using these devices day in […] Read More I love how ChromeOS 119 expands Material You colors for the Chrome browser With ChromeOS 119 just rolling out in the past few days, I knew there would be small differences here and there that I’d pick up on, and one that is making a big color splash is the way Material You color themes are handled in the Chrome browser. Sure, we already talked about the Material […] 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.
