Trying to move away from Windows and decided to go with one of the best Chromebooks available. There are two more Pixelbooks in this line, but I opted for the more "affordable" version. Excellent build quilty; thin & lightweight; multiple modes for handling and viewing. If you're used to only working with Windows or Macs, there's a little bit of a learning curve as Chrome OS has its own shortcut keys (and keyboard); but you can access the commands via the Help option and you can find plenty of support (FAQs, threads, videos, etc...) online for the device. And if you're into Linux, this is also supported on the Pixelbooks. My only negatives about the Pixelbook (other than the price) would be the speakers (which aren't loud at all) and the bezels around the screen.

Beautifully designed on the inside and the outside. A perfect mixture of textures and components of glass rubber and so much Google goodness. With the hardware perfectly matched up to the software I have a machine that I have yet to have an issue with. I am not just an average user I am a heavy consumer and am on my computer all day. Done properly this computer was able to take the place of my laptop my work computer and my home computer with ease. It's capable of everything my other computers were sometimes requiring a small work around but it's no different than having to install or find drivers or workarounds in the other available options. They ask best paying around $800 to $1000 for just a phone so paying that much for a top-of-the-line computer, that's right I said computer not just Chromebooks, is more than worth it. You'll of course run into the haters that say "I can't pay that much for a device that is limited" it's only limited by the user and its users limitations. I've been able to successfully edit videos photos the heavy lifting that everyone says so if you're a heavy lifter a heavy user this isn't your device well they're wrong. I have no problem paying$1,000 for something that is the top of the line and has the cleanest most simple operating system available. People get hung up on that, don't. Purchase this computer and before long you'll be wondering how you ever got along without it simplicity. I would recommend this to anyone and I have. And instead of having to update my computer in a year or two this thing is built so very well and designed to grow an update its operating system as new technology emerges. Very happy with my purchase.

With positive reviews on the Pixel book the price was hard to get past , however I continue to be impressed and satisfied with my purchase. Probably still one of the best looking chrome books around and of course very user friendly. #teampixel
