The editors didn't like
USB-C ports aren't Thunderbolt 3
Battery life is a little weak
Pen costs an extra $99
Pen latency not consistent throughout different apps
Nowhere to store Pen on
In
Or around Pixelbook
Voice commands only work when device and screen are on
Google Assistant lacks GSuite agenda and calendar integration
The best
At $100 and with few 3rdparty applications optimized for it
It feels like an afterthought. Even in Google's suggested demo apps
The latency just feels very average. There's also nowhere to put it in or on the Pixelbook
The Pixelbook is way too big and
Short on ports
Does anyone want an Android laptop
Many Android apps need updates to work well (or at all) in Chrome OS
So-so battery life
Shallow keyboard
Expensive
Mediocre battery life
It's expensive. The stylus is sold separately. It has the same built-in limitations as other Chrome OS systems
Keyboard throw is a little short
Android apps are not good on Chromebooks
Not good at all
Not even a little bit
Chromebook apps still can't quite match rival platforms
It's an expensive notebook
Just two USB-C ports
Pixelbook Pen is sold separately and has no clip or silo
Not all Android apps are well-suited to a larger screen
Pixelbook Pen feels very laggy compared to the competition

Extremely slim, Handsome look, Beautiful, pixel-dense display, Feels snappy in everyday use, Battery can easily last a full workday
Chrome OS has limited inking support, Assistant isn't as useful as it could be, Android apps are supported, but buggy
Only if you're a diehard Chrome OS fan and want the very best Chromebook available. The Pixelbook has much to recommend it, but also suffers annoying problems, and more work is needed to make Assistant and the Pixelbook Pen truly useful...
It's easy to fall in love with the Pixelbook's sleek hardware, but the combination of a high price and faltering software means that the competition bests it on both laptop and tablet fronts.If you're after an entertainment device that's also good for a b...

Gorgeous design, Excellent keyboard, Google Assistant built in, Runs Android apps
Pricey, Still can't run proper desktop apps
Google's Pixelbook delivers on the promise of ChromeOS - a speedy, lightweight laptop with all of the intelligence and functionality that we've come to expect from Google. It may be expensive compared to most other Chromebooks, but it makes up for it w...
The Pixelbook is certainly expensive but not unreasonably so when you look at what you get. Yes, you could buy an Acer Chromebook R11 (to pick an arbitrary example) for a quarter of the price – but, as with most cheap Chromebooks, you'd end up with a medi...
Gorgeous design and comfortable in use thanks to silicone pad, baked in Google Assistant is a fun feature, decent battery life and fast charging, high-res screen and 360-degree hinge for versatility
Android/Chrome apps can be confusing, lacks pro-spec apps as per Windows/MacOS, big bezels for a modern device, spec largely excessive for a Chromebook (at present), it's hugely expensive
Starting at £999, it's hard to recommend the Pixelbook.There's no doubt that it's a visually stunning piece of hardware. But its software, while improved and now with Google Assistant baked in, is a confusing mix of Android apps and janky web apps. If you...

Fast, slick design, good keyboard and touchpad, sharp display, flexible form factor, great battery life, Android apps work well
Wobbly display, minimal Pixelbook Pen support, professional apps aren't as fully featured as on Windows and Mac, only two USB TypeC ports and no SD card slot
We've not yet been able to benchmark the Pixelbook or test out its battery life. But even without verifying Google's claims, it's a great-looking and well-built device. The price is a big sticking point, though.Chromebooks have thrived, primarily in schoo...
