Google releases ChromeOS 139 to the masses with no significant new features

By


Another month another ChromeOS release. For August 2025, Google highlights a couple of new features with ChromeOS desk sync and Touchscreen calibration tool. Check out what the features bring to your ChromeOS devices below and let me know how the update is treating your laptops or desktops.

ChromeOS desk sync
Starting from ChromeOS 139, ChromeOS desk sync helps users quickly pick up from where they left off when switching to another device. Desk sync restores all windows, tabs, and even cookies from the previous session to allow for a seamless transition.

Touchscreen calibration tool
With ChromeOS 139, you can now calibrate boundaries of external touch screen displays. Chromebook users can now calibrate boundaries of external touch screen displays connected to a Chromebook. This setting helps with aligning external display boundaries, so that touch inputs correspond correctly to the displayed content.

Waiting on Google: Why My Next Laptop Won't Be a Mac or PC (The "Googlebook" Era)

By
The release of the newly announced Googlebook cannot come fast enough for me. I am in the market for a new laptop and have my sights set on a Googlebook with the hope Google is making one. So far there are about five laptop manufacturers that are slated to be producing and releasing one this calendar year. Although, details are sparse surrounding the Googlebook I've seen just enough to know that I want this device to be a part of my tech ecosystem.  My current tech ecosystem Admittedly, I've been holding out for a minute to get a new laptop.

I'm fine with this setup but my needs for more capable and powerful computing is getting harder to ignore. My Pixelbook Go does not seem as connected to my other devices as I would like which would explain why I don't use it as much. ChromeOS has not progressed much over ...

The Ultimate Budget Companion: Running Android 16 on the 2026 Walmart Onn 8.1

By

While I won't give it away this early, however, the Onn 8.1 tablet is an interesting option in the budget space.  What I like about the Onn 8.1 tablet The stand out feature of the tablet for me is the size and the aspect ratio of the display. I must admit that the size is ideal for travel, reading and consuming media. The aspect ratio is not wide and I prefer that as apps tend to look better while filling the space on the screen really well. The software is what I would consider stock Android and it's my favorite of what's available. I also like how light weight the tablet is making it easy to hold in just about any orientation. Battery life is relatively good especially when in standby mode. The body of the tablet seems to be durable. I'm rocking this thing case-less and there are no scratches on the...
