Well, folks, the day is here and we’re in New York for the semi-annual Chromebook Showcase. If the past two events are anything to go by, there are quite a few things to expect at this event, including new Chromebook hardware and maybe some updates on new features on the way to ChromeOS as well. The hardware I’ve said it before, but there are quite a few Chromebooks I’m looking forward to this fall.
Most of them are simply hopes – a new HP x360 14c, Lenovo Flex 5i, Lenovo Slim 3i, or maybe even a new ASUS CM34 Flip – but a couple are definitely a reality. advertisement Chief among those we know are on the way are the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus and the new Lenovo Chromebook Duet. Both of these devices have 100% been confirmed and I’d bet good money on the fact that they will be at the event for sure.
The other devices I listed above would be an awesome surprise, but I’m not holding my breath on those. For better or worse, I simply don’t have a lot of proof that any of those devices are actually on the way at this point, so I have very little confidence we’ll see any of them at this event. You never know, though, right? advertisement New software updates On the software side of things, I’m expecting a few updates to ChromeOS that we’ve been keeping eyes on over the past few months in the Beta and Developer channels.
The first I’m expecting is a change to the Gemini app to make it even more a baked-in part of the OS. With the Galaxy Chromebook Plus cl.
