Customer Ratings & Reviews

I really like the keyboard and the dark keys so that the back light is much easier to see at all times of day and night. I like the wider screen than the previous 2017 Pixelbook, and the light weight that it has. The only thing I miss is that it is not a 2n1 device like the 2017 Pixelbook. Highly recommended if you don’t mind the price point compared to third-party Chromebooks, and if you do not require certain things out of a laptop that only Windows computers can provide. I personally value first party hardware to a company the operating system when possible.

I am 14 and going to Highschool in the Fall. This chromebook is so light and easy to handle for school work and the fun stuff too. The charge is strong and the screen and keyboard are perfect for me. This was generous gift from gramps.

Looks great, sounds great, great feel on the keyboard, and a super long battery. If you don't need a ton of storage and do all your work on the cloud or with cloud-based software, this is a great option.

Man, does this thing feel good in the hands. Great build, great materials, just really well done. It also runs snappy, even with the m3 CPU. I eventually decided it wasn't quite right for me; I both preferred a somewhat more clicky keyboard (I prefer original Pixelbook over the Pixelbook Go, but many out there disagree with me!), and I would have greatly preferred a slightly higher-res, squarer monitor over the 16:9 experience on offer here. Despite its deficiencies (which are very subjective - YMMV), this is a very compelling high-end Chromebook.

There is no better Chromebook out there. This is the only one that can take on Apple. This thing is fast, premium, beautiful, and super convenient to take anywhere with you. It connects automatically to my Pixel phone so anything I do on my phone I can do with this. Speakers are the best I have heard on any Chromebook which is perfect for lying in bed at night and scrolling through Youtube. The only downside for me would be the lack of anti-glare on the screen. Its kind of a pain to use it outside in direct sunlight.

I have the m3 version and I am really happy with it. I have had no problem at all with performance and in general the battery life should be a little better with the m3. 64gb of storage is not an issue for me as I have everything on google drive and it is easy to use an external drive if needed. The typing experience is absolutely fantastic. This is one of the best laptop keyboards I've used and if you do a lot of typing you'll get your moneys worth with the keyboard alone. The display isn't the highest resolution but everything looks fantastic. My only personal beef is the Pixelbook Go has a 16:9 aspect ratio and in my opinion 3:2 is better but I know that is subjective. If you're thinking about pulling the trigger I would recommend going for it.

The weight , design Is beautiful and minimalistic , keyboard is quiet , camera really good, and sound is excellent! However, there were a few things I ended up needing for work that I couldn’t get pass without having Windows or a Mac Operating System. I regretfully traded this computer in for something a bit pricer with a Windows OS. Definitely recommend this laptop if surfing the web and responding to emails is primarily your function. Otherwise you may hit a wall like myself and need an upgrade

Very lightweight but durable. Battery life is very good and everything works great. Screen is a nice size and high quality....also built in speakers sound great. Extremely happy with the purchase.

Bought "open box." Was like new. Battery condition was also excellent. Super light weight. Much faster than previous Chromebook. Very nice keyboard.

Purchased this for my high-school-age daughter to replace an old one. Runs everything fast, easy switching between multiple tabs, etc. Keyboard has a good feel. Very light and thin.

I absolutely love my pixelbook go! I purchased it for my freshman year of college and I couldn't be happier with its performance. The long-lasting battery is so useful for when I'm constantly on the go and don't have time to charge it fully. Even then, if I do need to charge it, it charges really fast. The keyboard is also one of the nicest I've ever used. It's perfect for me because my hands are small, but it may not be ideal for someone with larger hands/fingers. The sound quality is great too! I could just go on and on about how much I love my pixelbook go. Overall, a great purchase and I definitely recommend.

Fast, and easy to handle. Perfect size, sleek look. Long lasting battery. Love the keyboard and touch screen. Able to watch videos clearly, like a small home theater.

The Pixelbook Go 13.3 Touch screen was great choice for my son who needed something easy to use, lightweight and portable. It is fast and easy to use and great for email, internet surfing, zooming, streaming. Good clarity and sound. In hindsight probably could have went with one-step up but overall very happy and this serves the purpose very well.

If you have never used a Chromebook before and have always been a windows user like me please ensure you read and understand about Chrome OS & Chromebooks. I made that mistake and paid the price - $650 in this case :) Like many people these days, I lost my job due to COVID and suddenly realized I don't have a decent laptop for my job search & the certification exams I was planning to complete. Reading the reviews about the fast performance and sleek design, I went for the pixelbook go. Another main reason was the high price & long lead time for the good windows laptops at the time of my purchase. To be honest, I don't have anything against this Pixelbook. It is just that I feel it is overpriced considering several of Chrome OS 's limitations. While you can overcome issues like the keyboard shortcuts you're used to in Windows in a few days below are my main concerns: 1. Many of the software is not designed to be run in Chrome OS, try taking an oracle certification from Pearson Vue or some of the other online exams. They recognize only Windows or Mac OS. When people are sitting at home trying to learn new skills this doesn't help. 2. Forget about using MS Office (at least the full version). They say you can edit word docs but that is maybe only for a simple text-only document. The header in my resume was gone, the alignment was terrible when I opened the word document in google's in-built docs and while editing the app crashed several times. You can install Microsoft word from playstore but that will not allow you to edit, it is read-only. Even if you buy the office 365, you will not get the full features in the android version. So good luck in quickly editing resumes in word format. 3. If you’re used to regular laptops with USB & HDMI ports, please be aware this one has only two USB-C ports. For someone like me who works with two monitors, with one having HDMI and another only VGA it was a nightmare figuring out the right combination and getting a USB hub. I only started using my pixelbook in the second week and by the time I understood the limitations, the return period (15 days) was over. I spoke to the customer support and they wanted me to try talking to the store. Even though I only wanted a store credit and offered to buy a much higher priced laptop the store was not ready. In a normal time, I will be ok with it as I have crossed my return period but these are unprecedented times and for someone who is struggling financially I expected Best Buy to consider my offer. As the subject of this review says, Know what you’re getting into !!

My switch from Windows laptop to a Chromebook has not disappointed. It's super lightweight and the battery seems to never recharging! I used it for 8 hours and still showed over 6 hours of battery life remaining. I use it for web browsing, Netflix and some spreadsheets from time to time and have zero regrets. The Pixelbook Go was pricier than some alternatives but was worth it to me due to the extremely light weight and strong performance. I'm glad I didn't opt for a higher end model.

I bought this for one of my children for school since they required a chromebook. He previously had a cheap Acer (< $200) that didn't last long and was understandably of cheap quality. The Pixelbook Go is definitely a quality device - more money but worth a good experience in my opinion. They keyboard is comfortable, good touch experience, and reasonably quick. Because of this, I'm looking to purchase the Not Pink version for my daughter, but no one has any in stock at the moment.

This is one fantastic device. It’s very user friendly; EXTREMELY light weight; does NOT over heat. I highly recommend!

Historically I have been a Windows user. When it came time for me to replace my 10 year old HP laptop I reflected on how I had been using it and essentially turned to using online apps and services almost exclusively. Also both my wife and I use Android phones. For those reasons I decided I would give a Chromebook at try. Overall I am happy with the the PIxelbook Go. Set up was easy. Performance is good. Sound is very good in my opinion. The touch screen doesn't show finger prints nearly as bad as my HP did. There is a fare amount of glare of the screen but again it isn't as bad as my HP was. There was a bit of a learning curve for me because the user interface (UI) is a bit of a hybrid of both the Android phone and Windows, with a few unique characteristics of it's own. Overall satisfied with my purchase.

The pixelbook go is the most seamless android experience, especially between my pixel phone. The speed is perfect for everyday use. I have had very little lag when playing Stadia games. I love the minimal design, the corrugated grip on the bottom, the keyboard is fantastic, etc. Overall, this is a great companion laptop and I don't have a need for anything else.

I bought this laptop for school and I love it. I've owned many lower end chromebooks but this is the first time I've bought one for more than $300. The light weight makes it easier to handle and the nice screen causes less eyestrain when you're using it all day. The keyboard seems really comfortable for long term use, and the light up keys help at night. Overall, the high end features matter when you use it all day.
