ChromeOS Needs More Love and Attention Than a Mobile Makeover With Android

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-07-25 16:00:40

After diving into the luxurious Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14, I have ChromeOS on my mind. Apparently, so does Google. In an interview with TechRadar, Android “daddy” Sameer Samat dropped a small bombshell about the future of ChromeOS, though without providing any of the raw details.

Samat said he was analyzing what apps people are using on their PCs or Macs, whi

Airport Lounges Are Sexy Again—if You Can Get In

This more private, pre-flight experience is essential for the affluent business traveler,
