The strange arrival of Chrome OS 86 and the return of Chromebook inventory

This week on The Chrome Cast, our conversation is as varied as the week's content has been. From a new version of Chrome OS arriving, rolling out slowly, being not-really-delayed, and finally landing for nearly everyone, it has been an odd release cycle to be sure. Additionally, we've seen the confident return of Chromebook inventory in stores, leading to pre-Black Friday sales on all sorts of devices that we've simply not seen for quite some time.
