QuestionWhy bother with the I7, when every review has the I5 running Chromium "ridiculously fast"? Ditto for RAM: Running small footprint apps instead of fully-fledged software begs the question, "What app needs 16GB?" The SSD upgrade I-get, but not for $700
Asked 8 years ago by Ravenwood.
- Answer You are ABSOLUTELY correct in your assessment. The only reason you would want to go to the i7 or 16GB is if you want to run Windows10 or Linux. As a Chromebook, the base model at $999 is OVERKILL for ChromeOS.

QuestionDoes this have retina display
Asked 8 years ago by Jack.
- Answer "Retina Display" is just an Apple marketing term. But the 12" macbook "retina" displays have 226 pixels per inch while the Pixelbook has 235 pixels per inch. Pixelbook has the slightest edge but essentially they're identical.

QuestionHow much does is the display quality for the google pixelbook
Asked 8 years ago by Lexi.
- Answer I would say it is somewhere around a macbook pro in quality. Superior to an air or surface laptop, but not quite as good as an iPad Pro. It is a glass panel so it is reflective like the former examples.

QuestionInterested in knowing what specific software comes with this computer. I use microsoft word, powerpoint, and excel programs. Does this chromebook come with this software already installed? Thanks, Jim
Asked 7 years ago by Jim.
- Answer No it does not,but you can add them. The only thing is be aware that storage memory is short, so either you get to save on the cloud or get external storage like I did. I got my daughter office 365 and found out she couldn't save her documents, not enough storage memory.

QuestionDoes the Pixelbook get Chrome OS updates before (ie: HP, Acer, Dell, etc)? Thanks,
Asked 7 years ago by JBOMB24.
- Answer I am unable to say if it's at the very front of the list for updates, but seeing as it's new and a Chromebook made by Google, it is safe to assume that it'll probably receive more updates at the very least. That being said, I have received every update the moment they come out on mine.

Asked 5 years ago by Mommom.
- Answer The only way that would be possible is with a paid mobile data network. There are various kinds of Chromebooks, so maybe one might have that feature, while the other doesn't
