Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love this Chromebook! It's the right size(and not heavy), it's fast, and the resolution is great. I have all the apps I need on this Chromebook and can now actually send messages to all of my family(most of which have an IPhone!). The battery lasts a long time and I don't have to charge this for 3 days or more. The price may be a little high but this computer is well worth it! If you're looking for a great chromebook this is the one. Check it out.....

Most of my work is online based at this point, and since all the heavy lifting of excel and word happens via a remote desktop session - this laptop has been great (and docs is a very useful substitute for more general writing). It is light, fast and pairs seamlessly with my pixel phone. I use an external monitor and mouse for longer sessions, but the keyboard and track pad are fantastic. My only complaint is the bluetooth connection for my Bose earbuds - they drop often to the point of non use.

Very nice screen, excellent build. You get what you pay for. Bought this for my high school student. Upgrading from an Acer Chromebook. He loves it. Says "there's no lag". The battery life is so good, at least 10 hours online doing school work and playing games, watching netflix. This thing always last the whole day. Keyboard has nice click, easy to type. I will buy another one next year for middle schooler. And its crazy light for its size. I absolutely recommend this! A+

This is now my main computer and I use it for almost everything - though I keep an old Windows laptop around just in case. My partner has an old Chromebook so I got to test out the OS before buying. I already use the Google Docs Suite of online programs regularly and have uploaded ALL my photos and videos (from a lifetime! This took, well, several days) to Google Photos so I don't have to deal with any external drives and can have them easily accessible from anywhere. I am a bit of a tab monster when surfing the web but I haven't had any problems with slowdowns on the cheapest configuration. I think most people would be happy with the cheapest configuration. Speakers, keyboard, battery life, silent fanlessness, and touchpad are great. I wish the screen could rotate further back - at least flat, but I'm hoping the restriction will mean a longer-lasting laptop. Same with the screen's lack of stylus compatibility - it's a bit disappointing, but the ultra-sensitive stylus-compatible screen on my last (Surface Pro) laptop failed after a year, so hopefully this one's more durable. I wish Chrome OS included the day/date next to the time in the desktop "shelf" without an extra click. Other minimalist features like the lack of a Caps Lock button were irritating at first but quick to get used to. I've also noticed that while battery life is excellent watching videos or working on documents, it's way worse when you're in Zoom meeting (though still pretty good). Overall though, this is a great laptop and I'm very happy with it three months after purchase. I really hope it lasts me several years because I hate having to replace electronics frequently.

Bought this little laptop after searching and searching for something that met all my expectations within my budget and this Go did not fail to impress. I didn’t need something uber powerful. Just something for school and word processing and general web browsing and so far it’s run without a glitch. The graphics are sharp and the processor responsive and I love the touch screen ability and being able to use google voice to ask questions. I’d probably still buy Microsoft word as I’m not liking Docs that much but it’s more because of I haven’t figured out how to turn on auto correct so I can hammer out prose without being distracted every few sentences with a misspelled word. I also use to like being able to left click for synonyms in Word and still haven’t figured how to get that to do it in a way that was similar to Word. You can download add-ons however to Docs to add what you want I just haven’t liked the way it runs like Word but that’s just me being nit picky. The laptop itself is great. I’d actually like if the keys were raised just a little bit more as well because I, again, use it to write a lot and feel it’s easier to write when keys aren’t almost flush with the board. Outside of that I’ve had no problems. I have had issues linking to WiFi but think it was more due to the strength of the WiFi signals (at least I’m hoping it is) but when I’m home and use my home WiFi it works fine. Most issues are when I’m out and about but again think it’s because of weak signals. My favorite thing is the weight. Wow, this thing is light. Talk about grab and go. So so far I’m liking what I’ve been using it for. No real complaints beyond my nit picks.

speakers are very good. I like the light weight. You will not go wrong with this CB. Keyboard is very nice and easy to use. Backlit as well.. Fast with 8 gigs of ram. Battery life is great. Nothing to dislike. I just wish it had a legacy usb port . Well built.. No issues at all.

Having used 2017s Pixelbook, I sort of knew what to expect when the Go was taking the more functional parts of it, and packaging them into a less outlandish unit. This time, I opted for the lowest specced Core m3 model for the price. I decided that if the performance was sluggish, I'd upgrade to the i5 version and call it a day. Well, I'm happy to report I see virtually no difference in performance. The core M3 perfectly suits my needs as a hobby writer, and I'm perfectly happy that I traded back my MacBook Air 2019 for this. The 64GB of storage is just fine, enough to fit some workout videos and music. But as a heavy Google user, most of my documents and important files are in the cloud. Combine that with my pixel 4 and the prevalence of good WiFi, I'm always connected, and so far haven't had an issue in pulling down my stuff. And one last thing—the keyboard is fantastic. It just makes me want to keep using it, because it's so satisfying. As a result, I've gotten plenty of work done the past couple days. It took me a little while to enjoy the MacBook, but it only took about an hour to really love this device. Highly recommend if you are able to work with the cloud.

Super easy to use, elegant looking and light as a feather. The keyboard is amazing, the added fast charger works wonders. It's small and very portable. The OS is getting better and better. The screen is not the best for a $600+ machine but it gets the job done. I haven't experienced any lag or issues with the OS. Support for Android apps works wonders

Great build quality, feels great while using it, and is very light. Battery lasts all day and feels very smooth. My only problem is the price. $650 is a little overpriced considering what other brands are offering around the same price. If you find it on sale, it would be an amazing deal.

I agree with all the positive reviews here. I have owned this for about a week and it is wonderful. It has quickly become my favorite device. I am going to list some shortcomings since everybody else has already listed its strengths: 1.) Chromebook software only works with some printers. This PixelBook Go does not work with my Brother laser printer. It works at my school, but the printer (Samsung) I use won't work after Dec 31st, 2020 as cloud printing will be retired by Google/Chrome. This is a nightmare. Beware, your printer may not work with any ChromeBook. This is not a fault of the PixelBook Go, but, nonetheless, Google should fix this. 2.) Applications like Zoom do not have full functionality in Chrome. You will not be able to adjust the audio/video settings like you can if you are on a normal Windows or Apple device. Many apps feel like they just don't work completely on a Chromebook. For instance, you have download an app to turn on the mic in Gmail for voice to text, but it is not as well thought out as it is on an iPhone. (On the Chromebook the mic is right next to the send button, etc. You can easily send the email by accident.) Chrome apps are still behind, but they will catch up. This is not a fault of the PixelBook Go, but a fault of the apps. 3.) The only weakness in the hardware is the camera. It is dark and the colors are mediocre. I have compared the PixelBook Go to my other devices (iPad, iPhone, Surface Pro), and, in the Zoom/Google Meets conference calls, the PixelBook Go is just OK. The camera or processor should have been designed better. It is the only true hardware weakness that I could find. Reviewers said that the PixelBook Go has a good camera. I disagree. I am a teacher and I spend a lot of time on conference calls. The video never looks great on this, and what the people are seeing on the other end is a little worse than what you see on your screen. I have tested this doing conference calls on several devices at a time. 4.) There is no warranty/support that you can buy into. Best Buy does not offer it on the PixelBook Go. I keep rethinking this. This alone may be the main reason to return it. Why don't they offer it? It is unfortunate because this is a wonderful Chromebook. You will not want to put it down. In spite of the limitations of Chrome OS, you will want to use this all the time. It is light and fast. It just feels good. I should add that I am a teacher and I see all kinds of quality Chromebooks in my school. My two sons have good Chromebooks, the Lenovo Yoga and the HP X360. This PixelBook Go has a form factor that feels like a cut above the rest. Google should address the above problems. This would be the best little work device for educators. Also, I have no need for the 2-1, like my sons have. (Honestly, most students never use their Chromebooks as tablets anyway.) When I need a tablet, I use an iPad Pro; my wife uses a Surface Pro for her math classes. I do not miss not having the 2-1 capability on this PixelBook at all. It is so portable that I want to take it everywhere and work. I use my iPhone as a hotspot. I feel that the battery will last. And, if I have to plug it in, the 45 watt fast charger is impressive, better than any other that I have.

I'm very satisfied with my recent purchase. I use this little Chromebook pretty much daily for basic tasks like social media, YouTube videos, Netflix, email correspondence, business purposes too. I'm very pleased. It is fast. Holds a decent charge. It is visually appealing. Lightweight-easy to travel with. I have no complaints.

This laptop works well for all you schooling needs. The keyboard feels great for typing papers and notes and you can use zoom and other applications at the same time with little to no lag. Apps like hulu and netflix also run well. While this chromebook is a bit pricey, it works quite well for a wide array of needs.

I love my google - pixelbook. I have had it for 3 years and no issues. Super simple to connect with my google phone and devices. I wanted to buy another one but sadly they no longer make them....only tablets which doesn't work for my applications.

Overall I love this Chromebook and would recommend it especially to students. It's a bit pricey but I have always enjoyed using Google products and this one hasn't disappointed yet. Battery life is really good and the keyboard is really nice to type on. Only downside is the price but I think it's worth it.

Bought for 13 yr old son for his Virtual learning. He loves it. Good display, keyboard, and has slip resistant bottom. Almost forgot, loud speakers. Uses USB-C. Charges fast, with a 12 hr. battery for moderate use. If streaming constantly with live video, may last only about 6 hours.

Great Chromebook. Solid feel. Well put together and quite quick with the M3 core. I debated and didn't think an I5 was warranted for another $200. The storage is not meant to be vast in a Chromebook plus I have a 500GB portable SSD. Overall a great experience.

I bought this computer for my kid, it is very strong and works quickly, great battery life and the wight is very good. Quality is good as expected. Only thing to keep in mind is that this version (Go) is without full foldable screen, so it is only a laptop with no tablet mode

Great performance, backlit keyboard, large trackpad, great display and great overal build quality. Very light, portable and easy one finger lift but doesn't have 2 in 1 capability. Pricey...

Incredible. Great sound, great keyboard, fast, reliable, and so easy to use. I purchased this machine as my escape from my work machine. I use it to surf the web, watch/listen to media, and play light games. No problems whatsoever.

This is my favorite laptop by far. Excellent design, long battery life, beautiful screen (and I just have the 1080p one - not the 4k). The keyboard - you haven't seen a modern laptop until you have tried this keyboard. Quiet, nicely spaced, but satisfying to type on despite the compact form factor. It is fast, no extra junk installed like on other OSes. I bought my wife one a few weeks back and just got myself one of these today. ChromeOS has come a long long way - and realistically 100% of my use is in the browser anyway. I've used Google docs for docs / spreadsheets for probably close to a decade now, so I'm not missing MS Office. I love the way it integrates with my Android phone (auto tethering, notifications, texts, etc).
