Review: I will try to explain why this is the best laptop/convertible currently sold for those with the budget to ... - I have owned a Pixelbook (base model) for 45 days now (having owned a Chromebook Pro, my first-ever ChromeOs product, for 30 days prior) and after reading countless professional and owner reviews I wanted to write one captures the essence of the Pixelbook and what makes it so attractive and why it is worth its price to many who would cross-shop it with Windows and Mac alternatives. I will try to explain why this is the best laptop/convertible currently sold for those with the budget to spend $1,000 give/take for a laptop and, importantly, for those who have been able to determine either that ChromeOs (including Android App access) will meet their needs and/or that they own a Windows or Mac device that will provide the capability needed for use cases that the Pixelbook/ChromeOs presently do not support. I'm about to go down the path of paraphrasing what another desertcart reviewer, Dave Levy, already stated more succinctly than I will, but the purpose of my comment is to add depth to Mr. Levy's review for those who found his words persuasive but may still feel some hard-do-describe level of skittishness to "pull the trigger" on a Pixelbook. In no particular order: 1) The Pixelbook ("PB") is absolutely on-par with or well above it's competitors in the premium laptop/convertible market with Mac Os or Windows 10 from the standpoint of user experience. 2) The PB is best-in-class (again, the highest end of the laptop/convertible market segment) - or tied for best - in these areas of hardware look, feel and response: a) keyboard; b) trackpad; c) display; d) stylus (with both the Google branded version or several other "Wacom AES" alternatives I've tested); e) connectivity (both wifi and bluetooth [4.2]. 3) The PB is below class-leading, but still fully acceptable, in the following areas: a) audio quality (acceptable for most laptop use cases, but fair to say headphones or auxiliary speakers are needed for high quality/room-filling sound); b) keyboard backlight (fine for dark ambient light environment but weak for "dusk" type ambient lighting, when some assistance is helpful but the backlighting is not as bright or complete as preferable and as provided by some of its peers, including some lower priced devices; Google should improve this through software update or next hardware update cycle, but it's very far from a deal-breaker); c) user authentification (in 2018, a premium device should have easy, fast biometric authentification as an option and the PB does not; this is a must-fix for first hardware update cycle.) Other than items noted in 3), above, there is no aspect of the user experience in which the PB can't be described as the finest laptop/convertible user experience available today - or ever produced - in this size and price class. 4) It is in no way accurate or fair to call the base model "overpriced 'for a Chromebook'" or "overpriced" in any way. This device is so beautifully designed (though this is a matter of taste) and so brilliantly executed that, IMO, it is the finest piece of electronic device kit I have ever had the pleasure behold and use. It's really that gorgeous, that perfectly made, that smooth and fast to respond - in the ways that a fine luxury good (in addition to computers, smartphones and tablets, automobiles come to mind in comparison - might stand out as being. It makes me smile. I look forward to whatever task I approach when I realize I'm about to use my Pixelbook to get it done! I guess you have to be a person who really notices and cares about design and quality for this to matter to you. Nothing wrong with someone who doesn't - in fact, you will save yourself many hundreds of dollars by purchasing either a Chromebook Pro or Asus Flip CS-302 if you want a good, strong, well-made Chromebook and just don't care so much about the finer points of design, engineering and craftsmanship because those alternatives have all the ChromeOs goodness and same features as the PB though they may lack only at the margins some of the storage (though the other 2 have micros SD card support while the PB does not) speed, thermal control, keyboard/trackpad quality and overall excellence of the PB (and, in the case of the Asus, active stylus support.) This is clearly a luxury purchase. And, in fact, I've spent 45 days now - last day of return window: tomorrow! - equivocating over whether I can justify to myself indulging in this luxury. (My decision is a little easier because I got my PB when desertcart had a pre-Christmas deal for $800 and Google had promotions, including a $62 credit against my Netflix bill, $40 worth of free Google Drive subscription fees - that I have been and would've continued paying - and a $50 credit to my Google Store account - for apps or devices - as a concession because desertcart didn't offer the Google Home device and Google was throwing in a free Home speaker if you bought it from Google. Thus my true cost for the PB was effectively $710, a price point many have noted they would feel more comfortable paying. Just between you and me, I would still be buying it if my cost was $999 ;) If you can afford it and you want a very high end device and you've determined a Chromebook has an important place in your device arsenal, you couldn't find a more certain way to spend $400 extra and be certain it would bring you so much enjoyment. I suggest you buy it from a vendor who provides preferably 30 day trial with full refund option. Again, presuming you had already concluded you want/need a chromebook and it must have what for chromebooks are the higher end spes, I imagine you may go through the same process as I have and, what you decide as your return window closes will inform you as to how much you truly adore the design/execution of this product and whether you can justify the $400 luxury indulgence. My guess is that you will make the same decision as I did, even at the full retail price of $999!
Review: Love it! Enjoying it more than my $2K+ Macbook Pro in every way but one ... - Let me state up front, this review is not meant to compare the Chrome experience vs. Windows or MacOS. That's a whole topic unto itself and suffice it to say that as a (mostly) Mac User I am enjoying the Chrome experience so far, but again that is not the focus of my review. Instead this review will focus on 'everything except the OS'. The build quality, materials, Industrial Design/look-and-feel, beautiful product packaging, etc. all seem very "Apple Like" (and I'm saying that as a complement). It seems to me that Google has equaled Apple and Microsoft Surface in terms of building a beautiful premium product. In a sense they have outdone Apple in that you can't get anything like this from Apple (i.e. Apple doesn't sell a 4-in-1 ... a laptop that doubles as a tablet). And in my experience, no tablet with a keyboard is as rigid as a true laptop hence none of them feel as good when you're using it as a true laptop (i.e. it's sitting on your lap and you're banging out something longer than a tweet). Now I will cut to the chase and mention the one thing that I didn't notice when I tried out the Pixelbook at a retailer, but within a half hour own owning it I suddenly noticed it and now it bugs me: it's the large black border on all 4 sides of the active screen area. I guess I've gotten spoiled by the MacBook Pro Retina, which has a relatively thin 0.3" border (give or take) on all 4 sides. The Pixelbook has a border of roughly 0.6" on the left and right, and 0.75" top and bottom. This may not seem like a big deal, but with the Pixelbook being pretty compact to begin with, this effectively makes the screen quite a bit smaller and less usable than it would be if it stretched nearly edge-to-edge. I thought about deducting a star from the rating because of this big border, but I googled a bunch of pictures of Chromebooks and it looks like ALL BRANDS are the same ... I guess it's just a Chromebook thing. Plus hey it's advertised as a 12.3" screen, which is accurate ... I just wish they could have squeezed a 13+" screen into the 14" lid. That being said, I love just about everything else about the Pixelbook. I prefer the keyboard over the newer Apple keyboards, and I MUCH prefer the touchpad to the Macbook Pro touchpad. Battery life is great. Screen brightness/contrast/resolution is awesome. It feels very quick and responsive with one small exception which I will get into later. But mainly it just feels very solid, looks gorgeous, and has a great minimalistic design. The small exception I noted above has to do with screen scrolling within the Chrome browser. Sort of hard to explain, but if you scroll quickly it is very smooth and responsive up to a point, but if you quickly scroll down more than maybe half a page there is a pronounced lag. Again this is my first Chromebook so I don't know if this is a Chrome OS thing, or a limitation of the CPU or Graphics processor or neither, but whatever it is, it detracts slightly from the otherwise very responsive feel. So back to the positive, I really really like this device. In my book it's worth the premium price over the cheaper Chromebooks I have seen, and at the $699 Black Friday/Cyber Week price it was a bargain compared to a Macbook Air or Surface Pro. At the full $999 retail price the value proposition is more questionable compared to other premium Chromebooks I looked at such as Lenovo and Samsung, so I am hoping Google brings back the $700 sale price soon.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can dvd's play on it?**
A: Only if you set a DVD player on top of it.

**Q: Does it come with a charger?**
A: Included in the box is the Google Pixelbook and one charger block and USB-C to USB-C cable. The 'Pixelbook + Charger' option includes an extra charger and cable.

**Q: Does the pixelbook pen fit inside the pixelbook someplace, when not in use, or must the pen be transported separately?**
A: It does not fit into the Pixelbook. The official sleeve Google makes for the Pixelbook has a slot for the pen. 
However, when you buy both products you can send in for a free pen loop attachment for the Pixelbook, through Google's official website.

**Q: Since android apps are made for arm processors, is the i5 still going to be slower than a tab s3 when running android apps?**
A: I think it's gonna be Case by case for each app. With the apps I've tried it seems flawless with good performance. It may have a completely dedicated OS kernel running android, sideloaded... So I don't think you can just look at it like an emulated OS. And even with emulated, an i5 packs an enormous punch to push emulation as well.

### ⭐ Bought it. Returned it.
*by A***R on December 8, 2017*

I wanted to love the Pixelbook, but I ended up returning mine. Here's why: (1) Too small. After a decade of using a 13 inch MacBook Air I find the Pixelbook to be just too small. It doesn't sit comfortably on my lap and the keyboard is too small. (2) The edges. The Pixelbook is a well-manufactured machine but the design includes lots of hard edges. If I lie down and try to watch a movie while the Pixelbook rests on my body the edge eventually gets uncomfortable. Using it in tablet mode is uncomfortable for the same reason. (3) Google Assistant. I could not get this to work, even with my Google account that I control. And because the keyboard is arranged poorly I kept pressing the assistant button by accident. (4) Netflix. Does not work. This eliminates one of my cost justifications for getting the Pixelbook... thought I could eliminate the purchase of a new tablet for watching movies in flight. (5) Cost. I can get a refurbished 13 inch HP Chromebook with much better specs (m7 + 16GB of RAM) for 40% less. Mine is going back to Amazon... you can have it.
