Google makes Pixel phones to show off what a pure Android experience should look like, but also throws into the mix the best cameras in a smartphone. Well, the 2017 Pixelbook intended to do the same for Chrome OS but failed to reach the masses, thanks to the oh-so-pricey retail tag.
The Pixelbook Go is unlike any other Chromebook launched by Google in the past and it features a standard laptop-style design. It features the same color finishes like Google’s older Pixel 3 phone, with a matte finish on the top lid and a unique wavy pattern on the underside. It weighs barely two pounds and is just 13 mm thin.
When you open up the Pixelbook Go, you’ll find two huge front-firing speakers on either side of the keyboard and provide you an immersive sound experience. The keyboard, on the other, has been borrowed from the Pixel Slate, but made it quieter and is calling the quieter typing experience – Hush Keys. The Chromebook features two USB Type-C ports and a 2MP web camera up-top dubbed Duo Cam, which works well with the Duo video calling app and will compete against FaceTime.
Google says that Pixelbook Go is already up for pre-order, starting at $649, but solely in the United States and Canada. It will make its way to the U.K in January next year, with currently no details about an India launch. It comes in two attractive colors, which are called Just Black and Not Pink.
