Chromebooks suffer from similar limitations as other laptops, depending on the configuration of the model you choose. Sometimes you may run out of storage space. If you’re unable to replace the solid-state drive (SSD), you’ll need to look at an external storage solution. We’ve rounded up a few for your Chromebook.

Speedy & Portable

Staff pick

Samsung T5 Portable SSD

This external solution from Samsung is perfect for Chromebooks (as well as other laptops). Youll get up to 2TB of storage, though the 500GB model is probably all you require. The drive itself is an SSD, making it ideal for portable use and for speedy transfers. Here you get a data transfer speed of up to 540 MB/s and it comes with cables for USB Type-A and Type-C.

Great Value Storage

Western Digital My Passport

The Moto G Stylus has arrived on doorsteps, and chances are that you’ll want to take advantage of everything this new phone has to offer, especially with the included stylus. However, you don’t want to take a chance on a potential disaster happening, leaving you to get your G Stylus replaced. Here are the best cases that you can get for the new G Stylus!

Lightweight and rugged

UAG Scout

Staff Pick

The UAG Scout is a great option for those who want a rugged case that is both protective and lightweight. UAG states that this meets the MIL-STD 810 Military drop-test standards, and it sports a non-slip TPU grip along with a polycarbonate back shell.

Included screen protectors

Gesma Grippy Case

It’s one thing to have a case that is slim and protects your phone, but then you still have to go out and get a screen protector. That’s not the case with Gesma’s Grippy Case; you’ll get both the case and two tempered glass screen protectors. This will…

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is getting on in years, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t protect yours for as long as you can. Whether you bought your S8 Day One or just received yours as a hand-me-down or second-hand device, you want this phone to last you as long as it can, so buy it a case that will protect it in style!

Pretty and protective

i-Blason Ares

Staff pick

While most multi-layer cases hide all of your phone’s delicate features from view and harm, the Ares lets the beauty of your S8’s glass back shine through the clear polycarbonate back, aided and complemented by bold accents like creamy pink or vivid green.

The glass standard

Spigen Liquid Crystal

If you want a case that will cover your glass against scuffs and scrapes while still not hiding a single inch of its beauty, Spigen’s Liquid Crystal is simply the best around. I’m partial to the Liquid Crystal Glitter variant, but the regular clear case is great on its own.

Mesh Wi-Fi systems are the networking versions of working smarter, not harder. Compared to a traditional router, Mesh systems use several smaller Wi-Fi routers placed around your home to cover you from multiple angles and dodge things like thick walls that can kill your signal. Whether you want top speed and customizability or simplicity and consistency, there’s a mesh system that will work in any home. The Eero hits all of the sweet spots of a Wi-Fi system in a small understated housing that loses obtrusive articulating antennas.

Best Overall: eero

Eero made one of the first consumer mesh Wi-Fi systems and the company keeps making them better with each revision. The current generation has the best blend of advanced networking features of any system available thanks to the small size and compatibility with the wall-plug eero Beacon.

Eero isn’t trying to be the fastest router. Its main goal is to offer a solid and reliable connection. To most people, the speeds will be fast enoug…
