Quick Start Guide
Safety and warranty information

Q: Looking to buy laptop that will be good for my sister that’s starting college is this a good buy?

A: Hi Johnnie94, I have the Pixelbook Go 13.3 TS Chromebook with the Intel i5 - 8GB - 128GB SSD. I was amazed how fast it was and what i could do on it. This unit will allow you to download Apps from the Google Play Store. I downloaded MS Word and Excel although Google Docs is an excellent word processing software too. Google also has fine presentation software also. The touch display screen is bright and clear and wide enough 16:9 aspect, so that two pages of a word document can be displayed at one time if so desired. Great for students. It features a center-placed trackpad, which is adjustable for sensitivity. The keys on the keyboard are backlit and can be adjusted for brightness level. Only an Android smart phone can connect through BT to lock the unit and turn it on, if you wish. It will also allow you to send and receive messages from your phone and, or Pixelbook. This Pixelbook does utilize the voice commands of the Google Assistant also. There are thousands of Apps at the Play Store, and in my opinion, this Chrome OS rivals Windows and Mac for productivity. Chrome OS is a simple easy to learn system. It is NOT bloated like Windows or Mac so a high end processor, RAM memory, or huge hard drive is not needed. Cloud backups is available. This is a sold unit for school-related productivity, note taking, and entertainment too. It is great for creating and editing word processing and spreadsheets, e-mail, and surfing the web for information. But it is NOT a gamer or able to do heavy graphics and photo editing. Hope this helps you. And good luck to your sister's college career.

Q: can you download Microsoft word or powerpoint on this device?

A: Yes, but keep in mind it is the GOogle Play Store Android app version. FOr basic stuff in each Word, Excel and Powerpoint, it's fine. But if you're working outside of OneDrive for files, working with big powerpoints or want to do macros in Word, it's not that great.

Q: Does the keyboard have backlight ?

A: The keyboard has one of the best backlights I have ever used in addition to being one of the best keyboards period..

Q: Is the display constructed with Gorilla glass?

A: The Google specifications for the Pixelbook Go state that the display is constructed of Corning Concore Glass. Concore glass reputedly has similar hardness and durability qualities to Gorilla Glass, but the two Corning products are used differently. Gorilla Glass is used as an additional layer of glass which is laminated on top of the display panel, which results in a thicker display panel. Concore Glass however, is used as an integral part of the display panel; it comprises the top layer of the display panel, rather than a separate layer on top of the display. Using Concore Glass results in a thinner and lighter display panel. I hope that you find this information helpful. And if you are curious, the Pixelbook Go is really a great Chromebook!

Q: Explain "intel Core m3". How does it rate to Intel core I3, I5, I7?

A: The m3 and i5 are almost the same except the i5 is slightly better but most of the money that you pay when you get the i5 will be due to the 128gb ssd. Otherwise the m3 and i5 are very Similar.

Q: Does the google pixelbook pen work with this laptop?

A: According to Google's website, the answer is no.

Q: Can it be opened 180 degrees? If not, how wide can it be opened?

A: No, it does not open 180 degrees, maybe 150. So this does not lay flat.

Q: Does this include wireless Bluetooth connection?

A: Yes, it includes wireless Bluetooth connection

Worth Every Penny
Purchased the Google Pixelbook Go for my 6th grader July of 2020 and it's been working out great for at home learning this fall. She uses Chrome books at school so was familiar with how they operate. This is my first experience & I love it too. When she's not using it, I use it for web browsing, emails, Netflix and have even created a few spreadsheets. Was surprised how amazing the sound was that comes from two speakers on each side of the keyboard. The images on the screen are great too, my MacBook Air looks better of course but for just over $600 it's perfect. The keyboard is super responsive and comfortable to type. Love the light weight also as I hold it on my lap when not at my desk. Battery life lasts me all day, have never had an issue running out of juice. Looking for a printer that's compatible right now, my Brother Laser did not work with it and I bought an Anker adapter for the USB to C connection for some devices. Love it overall and would buy again for sure. :)

WARNING: Nonexistant Out of Warranty Support
There's no doubt about it that this is a beautiful device. The keyboard is wonderful (but shows finger grease pretty easily), the screen is decent (1080p with good viewing angles but not very vibrant), and the software is buttery smooth (but lacking finesse and features like google photos integration with local files). Very lightweight and compact - I can see myself taking this everywhere with me. Also, battery is not quite as advertised but this is typical of all the major brands. HOWEVER.... the one issue that no one seems to be talking about is the lack of repair programs once the warranty expires. With a device this portable, accidents WILL happen and unless you cash in on an extended warranty, this might become a paperweight like the original Pixelbook 2-in-1. (Seriously, google the problems with those devices after 1 year and you'll see it's a nightmare getting anyone to touch it) The issue with made by google hardware is that Google doesn't have the means to repair its own devices for whatever reason and relies on Ubreakitifixit instead. This seems like a good idea, however, a quick search on the Ubreakit site shows almost NO information for the pricing of repairs for Pixelbook Go specifically. If you refer to my included image, a screen repair on the original Pixelbook is $449.99 in the state of Colorado. That is ludicrous and I can't imagine the Pixelbook Go being any better. After chatting with a Google support agent, they could not offer concise information on this and I've yet to hear back from Ubreakit. Big surprise. Long story short - a beautiful device is nothing without a robust company supporting the software AND hardware post-purchase. It is up to the consumer to voice their opinions to the companies that make such decisions. We need to end this disposable technology era considering the valuable materials that go into the processing of each item and the quantity at which we consume. I do hope that more people consider the longevity of their device instead of only the initial quality when evaluating this and other purchases. Google, you can do better and as consumers paying a premium we should expect better.

Pixelbook Go – Productivity, Entertainment, & FUN
Wasn't really sure of what to expect choosing this Google Pixelbook Go 13.3" Touch-Screen Chromebook in exchange for an honest review. In the past Chrome OS has not been stellar, but now it turns out to be a great alternative to both Windows and Apple OS. So, after three weeks of constant use It appears to me that the Google Chrome Platform doesn't need the latest, greatest, most powerful Intel Chip, immense memory, or a huge hard drive to operate fast. It does quite well with the 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i5 processor coupled with 8 GB Ram of memory and 128GB SSD. Amazing speed! What also makes this Pixelbook Go so versatile is that I can download numerous Android Apps and software from the Google Play Store like MS Word and Excel. WooHoo! In addition to Google Docs and Presentations this makes this laptop ideal for any kind of productivity for a home office, student, or any professional 'on-the-go'. Here is what I love about this Pixelbook Go: *** DESIGN & BUILD – The lightweight magnesium shell is cleverly designed with a matte black finish, ribbed bottom with two rubberized strips to keep this attractive unit from slipping on any hard surfaces. * I love that it is pretty much fingerprint resistant and classy looking too. This sleek unit weighs approximately 2.3 pounds. * It is designed to be super-portable, and as a laptop only. The ribbed bottom makes it easy to grip and carry anywhere. * At only a half inch thick, it is thin enough to slide in my backpack. It can also fit into a medium sized handbag, or carrier. * Love the rounded edges, which make this unit so easy to handle and comfortable in my lap. * What I like about using this unit in my lap is that it does not heat up like my larger Windows unit does. ** HARDWARE FEATURES – First, the keyboard is backlit, and is adjustable for brightness. The keys are illuminated, individually, without light escaping around the keys perimeter. The Hush Keys are silent and responsive to my touch. * A trackpad is conveniently placed in the very center of the unit. It is sensitive and can be adjusted to accommodate anyone's personal preferences. * The LCD, Touch Screen display is 13.3 inches with full HD, 1920x1080 pixels. I was impressed with the brilliance and quality while streaming Netflix Christmas movies with my Grand Kids. * The dual stereo speakers deliver unbelievable sound quality for a medium-sized unit, and can be enhanced by an EQ App downloaded from the Play Store for even richer performance. * The 2MP, 1080p front duo cams allow for dynamic videoconferencing in Google Hangouts. Impressive! * There are two USB-C ports and one 3.5mm headphone jack or auxiliary audio output. Either USB-C port can charge this unit using the included 6.5 foot charging cable with the 45W USB-C wall power adapter featuring fold in/out prongs. I discovered that there is a USB-C to SD card adapter, which allows me to use a 128GB SD card as additional storage. I can also use the second USB-C port to connect an additional screen display. * The WI-Fi connection is 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, which allows me to take advantage of my routers ability to MU-MIMO. It features a 2x2 MIMO dual-band Wi-Fi for even faster uninterrupted download speeds for video streaming. * For data storage the Pixelbook incorporates a 128 GB, flash, SSD drive, with low power draw on the battery and decreased heat production. * The Intel i5-8200Y processor is eighth generation, and uses very little power. It is a dual core processor featuring Intel's Turbo Boost technology. * This Pixelbook Go is also Bluetooth 4.2, which allows me to connect my BT mouse for more efficient scrolling and word processing functions, or, any other BT device like auxiliary speakers or even a printer. *** CHROME OS – Chrome features thousands of Android apps for productivity and entertainment. I downloaded MS Word and Excel from the Play Store so that I could use this laptop on the road for my part-time, consulting job. I am also impressed with Google Docs and Presentations. * Set-Up was very simple. All I needed was my Wi-Fi connection to my home router and my Google account as outlined in the included Quick Start Guide. The Pixelbook turns ON as I opened the unit. The on-screen instructions guided me through the whole set-up. It took approximately five minutes and I was ready to GO. * What I really appreciate is that Chrome features its own virus protection with automatic updates to includes updating the Chrome OS too. These updates operate in the background and do not require any user interface. This saves me money from buying additional third-party virus protection. Great! * The Chrome OS also provides cloud backups. I found that the more I use this OS the more I wonder if I ever really needed Windows. Chrome is a simple OS to learn, and very User-Friendly. Chrome OS is not bloated with unneeded add-ons and features like Windows, which require higher processing speeds, gobs of RAM memory, and a huge hard drive. * I am amazed at how fast this Pixelbook Go actually is. It automatically turns ON when I open it and goes directly to my designated Home Page in just a few seconds. I primarily use this Pixelbook Go for creating construction-related documents, e-mail, and streaming Netflix movies for entertainment. It performs all my activities with quick speed, which was an unexpected surprise and plus. YaHoo! * I can also connect my Android phone to my Pixelbook for 'Smart Lock' and message notifications. My Android phone can lock and unlock my Pixelbook if I so choose and allow me to both send and receive messages on my Pixelbook. * I can also sync with my Android phone to connect my Pixelbook to the Internet using my phone's mobile data (tethering). This comes in handy when there is no WI-FI connection and I need to have an Internet connection to my Pixelbook. * Be aware that the Pixelbook Go can only be BT connected to an Android phone for now. An IOS phone is not compatible at this time. *** BATTERY LIFE – For what activities I do and my settings of the backlit key brightness, and screen display levels allow me approximately 10 hours of battery use. YooHoo! About an hour less if I stream a movie. That is more then enough to last me one day of full use. *** SUMMARY – After three weeks of everyday use I am totally impressed with this Pixelbook Go. I highly recommend this Pixelbook Go as an efficient alternative to Windows and Mac. It allows me to be productive in creating both Word and Google Documents, and, is fantastic for streaming movies. Just the right size for people on-the-go. For its size processor it is one speedy machine with a simple Chrome OS for everyday computer activities. If you are considering serious gaming, photo, and, or, graphics editing, this machine may not fit your needs. However, I think it is an excellent choice for a student, and, plan on buying one for my Grandson, who is going to be in his first year of college this Spring. It's productivity Apps and Portability make this a great choice for him. If you buy one you won't be disappointed.
