Excellent Chromebook
||Posted .Owned for 5 months when reviewed.I returned it because it wasn't right for my use. But this is a powerful very capable chromebook. Almost replaced my laptop and tablet combo. It is definitely clunky in tablet mode though. With your hands wrapped around the keyboard in the back and it's heavy weight.

Awful
||Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This deserves a big fat 0 stars!!! Best Buy not only sent me 1 but 2 broken Pixelbooks... a complete joke that they call this stuff “refurbished” 1st one wouldn’t even power on and keyboard just sit and flickered non stop, next one would turn on but would power off and on by itself several times. Do yourself and favor and buy a brand new one. I have purchased from Bose lots of refurb items and never ever had a issues after years but I would not date buy another thing from Best Buy that’s refurbished... they need major quality control bc someone is taking this stuff not fixing it and putting it in a box to ship to some poor person thinking they are getting something fixed!!! A true pain in my butt having to deal with all this and returning them. There’s my feedback bestbuy, if I were y’all I def wouldn’t not have asked.

The Chromebook I have been waiting for...
||Posted .I had been eyeing the Pixelbook after performing my due diligence. I am a google certified trainer and a have been a Chromebook user for years. I got a refurbished one and have had nothing but love for this Chromebook. The keyboard is comfy and the screen size is ideal. I did buy a hub for all of my connections - USB, memory card, mouse and VGA monitor. I have not acquired a pen yet, but will eventually. The illuminated keyboard is so nice when working in the dim light. It is fast and can handle multiple tabs and tasks. The size and weight are sweet. I have forgotten how fast I can work with a device that can actually keep up with me. This is well worth the refurbished price.
I would recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Design, Google services, Keyboard

Beat my MacBook Pro
Posted .I no longer need nor rely upon my like-new MacBook Pro. Not since Google's Pixelbook entered my life. The Google Pixelbook is the first Chromebook worthy of consideration alongside the most high-end Windows and Mac devices. From its excellent design to its massive software enhancements, this is the best Chromebook to date, bar none. Excellent engineering and design. Full Android app support. Awesome keyboard. Excellent stylus support. Starts and shuts down in less than 2.5 seconds. Battery life? I experience over 8-hours of heavy use on mine, blowing away my MacBook's paltry 5.5 hours, A total joy to use.

What a Chromebook should be!
Posted .I saw this online and I absolutely had to have it! I purchased it, but the "Geek-Squad Certified" model, would not boot up. I tried reflashing the OS, but nothing. I took it to my local Best Buy, but they wouldn't even do as much as I did to fix it. The only thing they would do was offer me a refund. I really wanted this, so I sent it back to Google. They sent me a freshly refurbished unit. This thing is awesome! It's faster than all of my other Chromebooks, and it faster than my Surface Pro3 and my Macbook Air. I make a living, using and teaching people how to use tech, so I have to have really good stuff. The battery life on this is in excess of 8 hours, which is plenty to get me through the day. Since I'm an avid user of Google Suite Apps (Docs,Slides, Drawings, Sheets, etc), this thing is exactly what the doctor ordered. If you're on the fence about getting one of these, I wouldn't hesitate! This is well worth the money spent!

Google Pixelbook review: A premium Chromebook that's worth the priceChrome 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

Q: QuestionDoes the original Pixelbook warranty come with the refurbished product? Is the one year starting when I purchase the laptop, or when the first owner purchased it? https://support.google.com/pixelbook/answer/7504309
Asked by Borcean.
- A:Answer According to the link you supplied it states refurbished products are covered for 90 days after purchase: From the middle of the second paragraph: “If your device has been refurbished, Google warrants that the device and included accessories will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use in accordance with Google's published product documentation for ninety days from the date of retail purchase by you (these warranties are collectively referred to as our “Limited Warranty”).”

Q: QuestionVery interested in the refurbished Pixelbook - are there any signs of wear and tear - cosmetic scratches?
Asked by Goffk.
- A:Answer I am sure this varies from computer to computer so it is impossible to answer your question but I think you should be prepared for a slight imperfection. Mine came a week ago and I wouldn't say I see any wear and tear.
Answered by Smoothisfast
Q: QuestionIf the pen comes with the pixelbook, why does it say pen sold separately?
Asked by Person.
- A:Answer The "pen" (actually a stylus) is NOT included. The stylus is sold seperatly and you'll have spend extra money for it. I'm totally happy without it--AND I love using a stylus on my Samsung Note and tablet devices. But, yes, the stylus is not included.

Q: QuestionWhat is bestbuy's/Geek squad's warranty on this?
Asked by CWH.
- A:Answer 90 days.
Answered by Pravesh
Q: QuestionCan I purchase an extended warranty for this through Best Buy?
Asked by AHW.
- A:Answer Yes you can, but you should honestly go with a different chromebook, not this one. The hardware will eventually fail, and you'll have to have it replaced, because you cannot repair a Pixelbook. It's not the Cadillac of Chromebook like they try to make it seem in the commercials. It's a basic chromebook, at a premium price. And the pen is sold separately and only works on the Pixelbook.

Q: QuestionCAN WE DO CAD AND ALL THOSE GRAPHICS STUFF IN THIS?
Asked by SHREYANS.
- A:Answer Probably, but you have you have to do it either online or you can use android apps, which don't work. Honestly, for graphics you should get an Ipad or a surface computer. They have real apps, that don't have to be used online. The pixelbook is crap. Don't waste your time.
