The Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit has been a whirlwind of information this week, and surprisingly, some of the biggest news has nothing to do with phones.

With the potentially massive, foundational shift of ChromeOS to the Android kernel on the horizon, there’s been a ton of speculation about what the future of our favorite operating system will actually look like. Will it feel the same? Will it be a true fusion of the two platforms? Will ChromeOS continue largely unchanged with […]| Chrome Unboxed – The Latest Chrome OS News

On our modern, wide-screen displays, horizontal real estate is abundant, but vertical space is usually a precious commodity. For years, this has made the traditional, horizontal tab strip at the top of our browsers feel increasingly cramped and inefficient. Power users have long turned to third-party extensions or other browsers like Microsoft Edge to get […]| Chrome Unboxed – The Latest Chrome OS News
A few months back, we told you about a fantastic new productivity feature in development for Chrome that would allow users to view two separate web pages within a single browser tab.

This looks like an ad. But it's just a few recent Chromebooks. In 2011, on my first day at Google, I was asked to pick out a laptop. The choices were slim - a thin Apple MacBook Air or the larger MacBook Pro, a forgettable Windows equivalent, or a Linux device more suitable for engineers. While I had the company's first foray into Chromebooks, the CR-48, at home, in addition to my own personal Mac, picking a Chromebook wasn't even an option. The Web-centric OS, which focused on keeping all da...| louisgray.com
Basically on time, ChromeOS 132 is now rolling out to users. So far, it doesn't appear that this one is ready across the board by any stretch of the imagination, and I'm seeing quite a few older, small-core Intel devices (think N3500, N4000, etc.) still not getting this latest version just yet. ChromeOS 132 was...| Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
With Google’s recent announcement of support for running real Linux apps on Chrome OS, I picked up a Pixelbook, since I’ve been long awaiting the viability of Chromebooks as development machines. After setting up a dev VM and experimenting with various projects, I found that one Tensorflow application I was playing with would lock up, hard, inside the Crostini VM on my Chromebook. After adding some debug prints, I discovered that virtually any calls into numpy.linalg.inv were hanging. I c...| nelhage debugs shit
