The Chromebook poster child. The most expensive Chromebook available is unsurprisingly fast and very versatile. Just be prepared to bring all your USB Type-C adapters along for the trip.
Using a Pixelbook in 2024: is it still just as amazing? [VIDEO]
Source: Chrome Unboxed English
Google truly outdid themselves with this device, and while I understand the reason they aren’t building Chromebooks any longer, it still makes me a bit sad about that whole situation when I use the Pixelbook. It’s just so good and so nice to use that I sometimes wonder what it would be like if we had 4 or 5 iterations of it by this point. I suppose we’ll never know, but it’s still fun to be able to pick up a device that started a movement and not just look at it, but actually use it. It’s a testament to how long-lasting and awesome Chromebooks are, and I’d bet in a few years as the Pixelbook turns 10, a similar test will be able to be run with similar results. It’s just that good.

My time with the Pixelbook was one of mixed results as I will go into more detail about. On the one hand, the £1200 price tag for the version I was loaned was too high. I would have been crazy to pick one over my cheaper, yet more expandable MacBook Pro that I have had for a few years now.

If you want a simple laptop mostly for browsing the internet and using some apps from time to time, this is a good option — albeit an expensive one. More demanding users will find this machine can get the job done, but computers with other operating systems at similar price points will get it done better and with less hassle.

Truth be told, the Pixelbook probably has more power than most Chromebook users will ever need. It gets a high rating not because I think everyone should buy it. Frankly it’s unaffordable for most people, and hard for many to justify compared to a full-fledged Windows or Mac PC. Instead, the Pixelbook earns its rating because it succeeds in showing the best a Chromebook can be.

90% Google Pixelbook review: Clean design with impressive performance you'll have to pay for
Source: Zdnet.com English Archive.org version
As someone who used to primarily work from an iPad, about halfway through the Pixelbook review process, it occurred to me: The Pixelbook is more of a computer than the iPad Pro is. Yes, Apple has many more apps, and better quality apps at that, than Chrome OS right now.

Google Pixelbook review: Finally

It's an amazing device and lives up to all the hype that has surrounded it since we first heard of it. And there are people who will buy it, but not because it's something anyone needs. It's that thing that you want. It was built for people like me, who have changed their digital life to be all-in with Chrome and really want the shiny beautiful thing. If you're also that person, you'll love the Pixelbook as much as I do.

Even if you are a Google devotee, it's worth considering alternatives, even those that aren't a single convertible device. You could get a very good clamshell Chromebook like the Acer Chromebook 14$297.41 at Amazon and an excellent Android tablet like the Huawei MediaPad M3$289.00 at Amazon. All your Android apps would run fine on the latter and you'd have a bigger screen for getting work done on the former. You'd save about $500 over the Pixelbook in the process. And we guarantee that the 0.7-pound MediaPad M3 will be more comfortable to hold for long periods while reading or gaming than the 2.4-pound Chromebook Pixel.

Chrome OS has matured to the point where it is a legitimate option for many consumers, and the Pixelbook represents the best hardware to run it on. Mediocre battery life is a disappointment, but the Pixelbook's hardware is otherwise as good as it gets. Unless you absolutely need a Mac or Windows PC, the Pixelbook is worth its high price.

Source: Business News Daily English Archive.org version
If you've never used a Chromebook, you should be aware they have some limitations. While you will be able to access the full Google Play store on the Pixelbook (Snapchat is even making a desktop version of its app for the Chrome OS store), you won't be able to download any desktop software you might be accustomed to using. That's because Chromebooks are primarily meant to be used online. But because the operating system is constantly being updated, it's better protected from viruses than many PCs.

It also feels *far* less cumbersome than Microsoft's Surface Book -- an important comparison even if the Book's discrete graphics options can put it in a different weight class. Other touches, like a magnet that holds the Pixelbook in tablet mode, and the ability to charge it with either of its USB-C ports seem pretty convenient.

The real knockout blow is that price, though.

There’s plenty to like about the Google Pixelbook Go; it feels like the first Chromebook from the company that actually stands a chance. It’s certainly well-designed, which in itself is a rarity for a Chromebook, and is a pleasure to use. The £629 starting price feels fair – although, as I mentioned, I can’t attest to the performance of that model. It's a harder sell as the price starts to creep up over £800, except to those who are perfectly content with Chrome OS.

The Pixelbook Go gets a lot right - stunning design, long lasting battery and portability factor. It does just boil down to what is a luxurious Chromebook with a touchscreen and an in-built assistant - and we’d recommend this to anyone who travels a lot and uses Google’s suite of apps. The webcam is another plus for those who have a lot of web meetings. If you’re usually in browser mode and use cloud-based apps for work, then the Pixelbook Go is the ideal companion.

Cheaper Chromebooks are available, but we think the extra polish and power of the Pixelbook Go make it worth the additional cost – certainly at the basic £629 level.

Google Pixelbook Go Review: A Premium Chromebook Experience
Source: Hot Hardware English Archive.org version
Heavy-duty content creation types, gamers, and graphic artists may not appreciate the Chromebook model and only realize enough performance and capability with Windows or Mac machine. However, much of the mainstream market is not made up of videographers, gamers, or graphic artists, but rather they just consume content, do research, write, edit and communicate vie email or social media, and maybe create or edit an image here or there. The fact is that many users will get by with the simplicity of a Chromebook. If the Chromebook ecosystem as it exists today satisfies your personal requirements, and if you desire a premium Chromebook experience, the Pixelbook Go may be one of the best options on the market right now.

In the end, there are going to be Chromebooks that launch later this year that will have more impressive spec sheets, more features, newer processors, and flashier designs. But I’m dubious that we’ll see another Chromebook come close to the feeling you get when using the Pixelbook Go. I think in nearly every way, Google just nailed it with this Chromebook, and I sincerely hope a ton of people give it a chance. At $649, there’s just nothing else quite like it.

To conclude our PixelBook Go review, notice I don’t have anything I can’t say I don’t like.

Google's Pixelbook Go Is the Best-Looking Chromebook Out There — But There Are Better Options for the Money
Source: Time English Archive.org version
All in all, the Pixelbook Go feels like another reference design instead of an actual laptop. Competitors like Dell offer better-equipped Chromebooks, like the Inspiron Chromebook 14, a two-in-one laptop with an integrated stylus that, while not as svelte, can do more in general, bringing you better value for the money. Still, if you know exactly what you need out of it, there’s something about it’s cool factor that might make you look twice at the Pixelbook Go.

When Google vice president of hardware design Ivy Ross introduced the Pixelbook Go on October 15, she said they set out to make a laptop that would be “fast, last all day, and look and feel beautiful,” but with a more attainable price point. The Pixelbook Go achieves that with very few compromises.

We don’t yet know whether users will flock to the Pixelbook Go in a way they haven’t for Google’s high-end Chromebooks, or other Chromebooks in its same price range. But Google has once again made a standard that may be hard to beat. It balances price, design, features and performance very nicely indeed.

90% Google Pixelbook Go review: A perfectly good Chromebook that elevates the category
Source: PC World English Archive.org version
When Google vice president of hardware design Ivy Ross introduced the Pixelbook Go on October 15, she said they set out to make a laptop that would be “fast, last all day, and look and feel beautiful,” but with a more attainable price point. The Pixelbook Go achieves that with very few compromises.

Google's Pixelbook Go is a great Chromebook — if you can get past its price
Source: Yahoo English Archive.org version
Google has done a great job with the Pixelbook Go's hardware, and bringing the price of the system down compared to its standard Pixelbook is a good start — but it's still too much to ask for most consumers.

The Pixelbook Go's thin-and-light chassis, elegant design, strong overall performance and lengthy battery life make it one of the best Chromebooks, period. Still, we wish this Pixelbook had a convertible hinge or USB-A ports.

The Google Pixelbook Go is a well-built and stylish ultraportable, albeit one that costs far more than most of its Chromebook brethren.

80% Google Pixelbook Go review: Who needs Pro?
Source: Android Central English Archive.org version
The Pixelbook Go is a stupendous all-round laptop that doesn't pretend to be anything different. It can't fold to become a tablet, but it can last nearly 10 hours on a charge and make typing feel fun again. This is the premium Chromebook to buy right now.

The Pixelbook Go is a beautiful laptop, and its typing experience is unparallelled, building on the already solid foundation the original Pixelbook's keyboard provided.

100% Google Pixelbook Go review

Google’s new Pixelbook Go is the ultimate Chromebook for anyone that doesn’t have a grand to blow on Google’s previous Pixelbook. Its incredible battery life and fantastic keyboard are just two of this Chromebook’s selling points, and it has very few downsides for both average users and dedicated fans of Google and Chrome OS.

84% Google Pixelbook Go review: Function over form
Source: Engadget English Archive.org version
Google’s most affordable Chromebook yet is a solid all-around laptop. It’s not as eye-catching as the original Pixelbook, and Google cut a few corners to get the price down (most notably the display).. But the Pixelbook Go covers the basics well and should serve most people well.

75% Google Pixelbook Go Review: The Price Of Simplicity
Source: The Verge English Archive.org version
Simplicity in product design is mostly good, but on the Pixelbook Go it also means fewer ports and fewer ways to use the screen. Neither is a deal breaker and all things considered I enjoy using the Pixelbook more than I do the C434, but that doesn’t make it a better machine.

Google's Pixelbook Go is actually quite good for what it is. It offers a superslim design, a bright display and solid performance, all topped off with great battery life. You will, however, have to deal with the low-travel keyboard and limited number of ports. The biggest strike against this system comes in the harsh-sounding speakers; you'll want to use headphones if you're listening to music.

80% Google Pixelbook Go Review: Treat your fingers
Source: Slashgear English Archive.org version
What may be the most important thing I realized, though, is that the “best” laptop isn’t measured by speed, or screen resolution, or how skinny and light it is. It’s about how eager you are to use it, to get stuff done, and anything which lights a fire under that enthusiasm and stokes it higher is a device worth having. Google, by virtue of the Pixelbook Go’s keyboard, has made such a device, and if like me you spend your days typing it’s absolutely worth your consideration.

3 Things I Love About Pixelbook Go After 1 Week [Video]
Source: Chrome Unboxed English Archive.org version
Again, I want to reiterate that these aren’t my only thoughts or my final thoughts on the Pixelbook Go. We have to talk about the screen, internals, battery, performance, price, models, and the handful of features this devices shrugs off to get down to a realistic price tag. Those things will all be covered in the full review, and I promise it will be coming soon. But at a starting price of $649 (and I can confidently recommend that model, not just the higher-priced ones), I can already tell you that if a clamshell, touchscreen Chromebook is anywhere on your radar, there is a very good chance that the Pixelbook Go is absolutely the one for you.

Pixelbook Go Hands-on: Google’s Chromebook laptop

The new Pixelbook will be available in two colours, with only ‘Just Black’ being available at launch in Canada. The laptop’s more interesting looking ‘Not Pink’ variant — which looks similar to last year’s white Pixelbook, but with a slightly pink tinge — is “coming soon” to Canada, according to Google.

Google Pixelbook Go hands-on: The expensive Chromebook gets cheaper
Source: Android Authority English Archive.org version
Regardless of the competition, the Pixelbook Go feels like the right move for Google. Where the original Pixelbook was too expensive for most and the Pixel Slate was too niche, the Pixelbook Go feels like a Pixelbook for everyone. It has a good mix of smarts, specs, and Google-y style that better complements the rest of Google’s product range than either of its predecessors.

Google Pixelbook Go Hands-on Review
Source: Tom's Guide English Archive.org version
I'll save my conclusive opinion for our final rated review, but this early amount of time gave me a positive impression about the Pixelbook Go. Not only is it more affordable than the original Pixelbook, but its elegant design stands on its own, its keyboard feels rock solid and its chassis doesn't feel cheap.
