I’ve always wanted one of Google’s Chromebook Pixels or Pixelbook, but they’ve always been out of reach with prices reaching into the thousands if not more. Thankfully Google has decided to start making the Pixelbook Go, it’s cheapest Chrome OS device yet with a starting price of $649.
That’s still damn pricey compared to some of the best premium Chromebooks that retail for closer to $350 and it easy enough to find something decent for $200 or less. But I do have to say the Pixelbook Go feels like a cut above the rest of the competition.
For starters, it’s immaculately thin-and-light at just 0.5-inches thick and 2.3 pounds in weight. It also features a really clean design where the top and bottom of this laptop form an almost unbroken gentle curve around the edge of the notebook.
