Wrapping up our biggest giveaway ever and our favorite tech of 2021

This week on The Chrome Cast, we begin the episode talking through our latest, largest giveaway wrapping up just minutes before we hit record.  This morning, we announced the 5 winners of our 5 brand-new Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5's and we're still a bit blown away at the energy around this latest giveaway.  Tons of people were entered and we love interacting with so many of you!  We're looking very forward to doing this again very soon. Other topics covered in the podcast this week include our full thoughts on the Lenovo Duet 5 (our review dropped this week) and a bit of musing about where ARM processors and Chromebooks are headed.  Simply put, it's a very bright future ahead.  We wrap up by discussing our latest Gear of the Year post and video, highlighting a bunch of cool tech that we've enjoyed or wished for over the past year.
