Google Pixelbook review

Google has recently announced the Google Pixelbook Go, which will be the successor to the Pixelbook. Find out more about this new device, its features and its release date.

The Google Pixelbook isn’t like any other Chromebook on the market. In fact, it’s more than just one of the best Chromebooks available; it’s also one of the best 2-in-1 laptops you can get in 2020. The Google Pixelbook overshadows other competitors in its class like the Chromebook Pixel, thanks to the horsepower and versatility it offers. And with the inclusion of Android, without losing any of Chrome OS’s features, the device has helped raise the profile of premium Chromebooks and what they’re capable of. You just don’t get that with Windows 10.

There’s a lot of style packed into this Google Chromebook, a design philosophy it shares with Google’s Pixel Slate. It’s not just a gorgeous gadget though. It’s also fitted with a stunning 2,400 x 1,600 display, 7th-generation Intel Kaby Lake processors and plenty of versatility, in part thanks to the Pixelbook Pen, which unfortunately doesn’t come included in the box.
