Google - Geek Squad Certified Refurbished Pixelbook 12.3" Touch-Screen Chromebook - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 128GB SSD

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 purchased a Feel Squad certified 128GB model. The device was basically brand new, it arrived in what appeared to be original packaging. I'm a pretty heavy Chromebook, doing well over 90% of my daily business and personal surfing on it. I have yet to have ab issue with performance. I can have well over 20 tabs open across multiple windows without an issue. I don't use the touchscreen often but when I do it's responsive. The size is nice, though I wish it were a tad wider, the screen is a little square for me but it's still a good size with great resolution. I also like that it plays well with my Google Pixel 3 and the built on Google assistant. Though there are newer chromo out there, this is still the best in my opinion.

I do have one complaint, which I will get to last, but I'm just about to lay some praise so I wanted to say, please read entirely. I have only had my Pixelbook for 1 week but let me tell you I haven't been this excited since I switched from the iPhone to the Samsung S9 (read: Android). I was a career PC guy, Excel being main use of computer. Public accounting world. I know run my own advisory practice with a lean, sleek approach to everything and I want to say the Pixelbook is amazing. It's so intuitive. I bought the pen 2 days after I received the book because I could see the value. Yesterday I bought a second monitor by GeChic 1101H. And a USB C Hub with HDMI. And a mouse to build around the Pixelbook. I was NOT going to commit to this right away but I've been so happy that I am adapting all my hardware AROUND the Pixelbook. That being said, there has been some crackling with my speakers and I have only had this item for two weeks so the timeframe is VERY short. In conclusion, get a Pixelbook asap if intuitive and streamlined design and operation is important to you.
