Google - Pixelbook Go 13.3" 4K Ultra HD Touch-Screen Chromebook - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - 256GB Solid State Drive - Just Black

I waited to post this until I had a few months of usage on my Pixelbook. I am so happy I decided to purchase this. I am a trusted "Google" user and already have most products that they have released. Automatically syncs using my Google account with all associated products. All updates are automatic, turns on within seconds of opening, and is extremely easy to use. For someone like me that needed something for simplicity and on a system I was familiar with, the Pixelbook is perfect!

I am loving my new Pixelbook Go. I bought it basically to have a bigger screen for my mobile phone, since I already have an Android Phone. I am not disappointed. Listening to music sounds awesome! It has a rich and vibrant sound, the bass shines through, but the music is loud and clear. If you are wondering what the benefits of having a machine like this is, well, it's lightweight, fast, and has apps that the phone can't run, albeit, some apps that it can not run that a phone can. But since it has a chrome web browser, you can get those on the web browser rather than having to deal with an app. Video on it seems to be great as well. I don't really need hi def picture, but it sure is clear none the less. If there was one thing about it that I don't like, it would be that there isn't a "home screen" per se. They call it Pinning to Shelf. The way it works, you swipe up on the bottom of the screen, and all the apps are there. Instead of a traditional home screen like on a PC/laptop. If I could put the apps I use on the screen that you see after the super fast boot up time, that would ideal for me. You can use the touch screen, or you can hook up a Bluetooth mouse to it, which is what I prefer to do. But, it is very touchy doing so. If you move just a tiny bit, it doesn't click like it should, it's as though you are trying to move something, rather than opening it up. Small things, but overall, I am impressed. There are 2 USB-C ports, and a 3.5 mm port for plugging in a headset. I find I am using this more and more over my Gaming Laptop. Only because I don't have a whole lot of time to play anymore, work is plentiful. I think this has a webcam in it, but I have not used it, so I can't comment on that. Yeah, it's not a cheap machine, but I expect to get a few years out of it (I hope). This version of the Chromebook opens only like a traditional laptop, it does not fold all the way around. I think that is called tenting, but this does not do that. Hope this helps with deciding if this is right for you. :)

I was really skeptical at first because this is super expensive for a chrome machine. However I was pleasantly surprised with the result. You can definitely get a MacBook Air for this price ... so why bother with this? The specs themselves are not that difference ... slightly better on the screen resolution... and the screen is touch and the CPU is slightly faster but overall you're not going to feel that. What you will feel is the longevity and reliability of this machine. It boots instantly. It will work for years with the guaranteed multiyear support.

I bought the pink for my wife. I really like the build quality, the material. Screen, sound, and battery life are much better, and it certainly makes an improvement over my Pixelbook (2017). However, it wouldn't replace it as I enjoy tablet and tent mode too much. Google has also improved tablet mode a lot by adding gestures. I hope to see this reflected in a subsequent Pixelbook (2020?) and I would be there to order it again.

Love it!! It's lightweight, very user friendly, love the Chrome OS as I'm an Android person. Nothing bad to say other than I should have gotten a screen protector, not sure if they're even available. I've had it for over a year now and it's still going strong, but I did drop it and cracked the screen

Wonderful laptop that serves like a MacBook. When I bought this laptop I thought I wanted a macbook but having it over 6 months it works the same. Best Purchase Ever!

Due to COVID, I now work from home. I do medical billing. I spent 3 hours online with a "sales agent" who said THIS was the laptop for me. I explained that for my work I use all microsoft programs, and I needed something small and light weight to be able to take everywhere with me. He explained that although you cannot install microsoft programs on the pixelbook you can use them the same way through the office portal. I paid (a lot) extra to have it two day shipped because of course our local stores were down to bare bones for what they had in stock. The shipping took almost a week which was a bummer. And when I contacted BestBuy customer service I wasn't offered a refund on shipping which kind of made me mad. Fast forward to when the chromebook came. I LOVED the size. It indeed is light weight and fits perfectly on your lap. It's super fast and I loved the color. However, using microsoft programs does not work, at all! Yes, you can go to the microsoft portal website and access them. However, using the programs through the internet doesn't offer you the same features. Which happened to be features I needed like OneDrive to do my work. Like the sale states ('Student Deal"), the pixelbook is perfect for someone who needs NOTHING microsoft related and just internet browsing. I wouldn't recommend it for anything working from home. I ended up paying a little more money and exchanging this for the HP Spectre. Amazing choice!!

I would absolutely give this 5 stars, however, my first one went black screen within 2 days of having it. That said, Best Buy upheld their amazing customer service and order a new one right away. And it is perfect! It's fast, easy, and sets up in a snap. The colors are magnificent and it's light. I would definitely recommend this.
