Fast charging can be a difficult topic to wrap your head around: there are a bunch of competing standards, all with different cables and power adapters. Qualcomm's Quick Charge 4 and 4+ allow charging at up to 100W, though few devices reach that. Both versions also allow you to use USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) chargers to reach speeds of up to 27W, so your phone or tablet will work with just about any fast charger.

Black Friday has consistently been one of the best times to shop for a new Chromebook, and 2019 is no exception.

Both of these titles require an upfront payment, much like a premium release, though in-app purchases are still included.
