Great travel companion
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.The first Chromebook I owned was the pixelbook go base model. The device was awesome. Before buying a Chromebook I was very skeptical about what a Chromebook could do, and though they were a waste of money; especially when a person could get more functionality out of an iPad. However, after owning one, and figuring the different workarounds; like when downloading documents or files, I have completely changed my interpretation of owning one. As mentioned, the first Chromebook I have owned was the base model PixelBook Go. The reason why I had chosen to upgrade was because of the processor and storage. The base model was not sluggish, but it wasn't quite enough to run Microsoft apps, at least from my experience. Since owning the i5 version, anything from the PlayStore to Chrome Apps opens quickly with no hiccups. My advice is if the PixelBook Go is going to be your primary computer, I recommend purchasing the i5 version, especially if you see one as an open box like I did :)

Easy to use & quick to start up
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This was my first time purchasing and owning a Chromebook and I have really enjoyed it! I already owned a Google Pixel phone so that made it really easy to already be engaged within the Android atmosphere. This computer starts up extremely quickly, works well, and I have had no issues with it at all. If you are looking for a computer that is simple, reliable, and mainly used for using the internet and doing a quick few things then here is the one!

Easy to use, very light, but sturdy.
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Think MacBook Air light- not too many apps properly sized but all the Google ones are unsurprisingly excellent- offering web apps/extensions. Regardless, it’s imperative to get the 128 GB version or you WILL run out of space. Unlike my beloved MacBook Air- the Pixelbook Go is much more sturdy- no case required- just a light sleeve for transport. Lightning fast and high def screen. Couldn’t be happier and feel much more confident taking this out with me on the go- than the MacBook Air 2020 M1. Both are excellent however and you get what you pay for in each case.

Great for Daily, Low-Intensity activity.
|Posted .Owned for 8 months when reviewed.My wife needed a new laptop. This has worked out perfectly for her as a simply daily computer. If everything you need is either through a Google Docs format or some other service this is a great choice. Not a lot of bloat of software that can bog-down some alternatives. Not a great pick for someone who needs dedicated programs for work or play (ie: Video Editing, Streaming, ACAD, etc.)
