The Chrome Cast 20: Google's New 'Atlas' Chromebook & Fall Hardware Event
from The Chrome Cast · host Chrome Unboxed
Not surprisingly, this week’s episode of The Chrome Cast circled around Google’s upcoming hardware event, it’s timing, and the enigma known only as ‘Atlas’. Talking through the recent decision by Google to ‘leak’ the Pixel 4, an FCC filing for a new Chromebook by Google, and a leaked-retracted-confirmed date for the launch date of the Nest Home Hub all make for a pretty compelling case that Google might just surprise us all with an earlier hardware event this year. We additionally spend some time talking through not just the addition of LTE coming in a broader sense to Chromebook, but the impact that move will have on the industry. Finally, we talk new, Chrome OS-specific keyboards from companies like Logitech and the importance of this new trend. Oh, and we had to at least mention 4-finger swipes coming for Virtual Desks! Notable Links Likely Pixelbook 2 ‘Atlas’ Passes Through FCC, Septmeber Google Hardware Event Possible The Cat’s Out Of The Bag: Nest Hub Max To Launch Sep. 9th LTE Chromebooks Could Soon Be Far More Common This Latest Addition Makes Virtual Desks In Chrome OS 76 My Favorite New Feature Logitech Boards The Chrome OS Keyboard Train This episode is brought to to you by NordVPN.
