    Need some facts on Google Warranty Replacement/Repair

    Totally not a fan of screen protectors but it certainly could have saved it... but guys like me buy the protection plan just so we dont have to use one. LOL

    Need some facts on Google Warranty Replacement/Repair

    Hello - I have a P3 for almost a year now and have the warranty. Thinking about ponying up the money and getting a replacement for the screen. It's not cracked but it is severely chipped away in about 6-7 spots due to a drop and grind on gravely pavement. Just wondering if people are seeing a...

    Anyone use google preferred care yet for your P3?

    Sounds like you lean to go walk in since no guarantee on new. I guess the waterproofing is something I could go after them on later if it fails at any point.

    Anyone use google preferred care yet for your P3?

    Had the unfortunate accident to drop my phone on a gravely pavement and now have multiple deep gouge scratches on the screen. Was wondering: 1. Do you get a new phone or a refurb with online instant replacement? 2. Have the option to go to the walk in center for screen replacement for half the...

    Hello. Anyone have a confirmed box that runs YouTube tv at 60 frames per second. I know the Mi Box S does but it's $70. Just looking for a super cheap option for the garage tv that's da best!

    Google Store UK - Black Friday - Pixelbook and Google Home Mini

    Sadly - Google stuff seems to have pretty stiff price controls... and I rarely if ever see any sale prices unless aged and they are closing something out. But really, I have no idea!

    is the pixel book the future of android tablets?

    For me, it's the future of laptops and mobile devices, period. As more options to operate web apps and work the cloud come, the less needed are large bulky operating systems.

    Google Pixelbook

    Here's my take... if you need to do something it cant do, then its just not for you... but you could still run linux on it and likely run that app. So, for the money the hardware is spot on. That's all that needs to be said there. Next, the chrome OS - it is simply the best internet browsing...

    Ron Amadeo's review of Pixelbook on Ars Technica

    No one can knock the hardware. And as far as the OS - chromebooks have been around for quite some time now. The debate is old and tired. You should already know what it can do when buying this machine. It isnt going to run some of your traditional PC/MAC apps. What it does do, will be better...

    using pixelbook or chromebook with dslr

    I have my pixelbook on order, but assume it should be simple. Just launch the file browser and move your image files where ever. But it depends on how you are hooking up your camera to USB-C - cable or SD card?

    Best LG V30 Cases & Accessories

    I got the matte black. Looks great. I also got another brand that turned out to be pretty much exactly the same case. It's midnight blue or something like that. Love it and it's my daily driver at the moment.

    Best LG V30 Cases & Accessories

    Got this no name case off Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/162598026907 As far as minimal goes, this is it. Barely any raised lip above the screen and it pretty much retains the shape and thinness of the phone. Not alot of protection, but it does cover the top and bottom. Corners have the...

    PD 5v 3a vs Quick Charge 3

    I would say no. They would have included a 9v charger as the fastest option it if did. It doesn't support qc2 either. It's the most basic USB 2.0 c type with 5v over 3a. At the time of this phone release, I only remember seeing 9v USB c with the pixel and some apple notebooks.

    Can you recommend a good wireless charger for the V30?

    Any good charger should have auto shut off when it reaches full. I have this one and it works well (about twice the time to charge as plug in) and has auto shut off when full. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073TS2GYP/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
