Pixelated 71: A convergence of ChromeOS questions

Welcome to episode 71 of Pixelated, a podcast by NewGeekGuide. Damien and Will dive deep into the world of ChromeOS, reacting to the news out of Snapdragon Summit that Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon has seen Google’s Android for PCs replacement and that it’s, in his own words, “incredible.” What should we expect out of Google’s latest laptop venture? Could this be enough to get us to switch from Windows or MacOS? Our thoughts on all of those questions, plus a quick peek at the early unveiling of the OnePlus 15.
