Google Pixelbook Go review: The Chromebook you should buy

The original Pixelbook was beautiful, but a bit too expensive. The new Pixelbook Go takes a different approach. It starts at a more affordable $649, without sacrificing build quality or performance. Is this the first Google Chromebook that's actually...

Google Pixelbook Go review: Function over form

Google's most affordable Chromebook yet is a solid all-around laptop. It's not as eye-catching as the original Pixelbook, and Google cut a few corners to get the price down (most notably the display).. But the Pixelbook Go covers the basics well and...

Excellent keyboard ; Good performance and battery life ; The Chrome OS platform is solid and stable ; Thin and light design with strong build quality

Display isn’t as good as the original Pixelbook ; Trackpad isn’t the smoothest ; Slightly expensive for a Chromebook ; It’s a bit boring to look at

Yes, you can still get a Chromebook for less money than what Google is asking. But if you think a Chromebook can be your main computer and don't mind paying a little extra for a device that's thin, light and well-engineered, the Pixelbook Go will...

Google Pixelbook Go review: the price of simplicity

Google's cheapest Chromebook is still more expensive than the competition

Excellent keyboard ; Good battery life ; Simple, clean design

Expensive compared to competition ; No microSD storage expansion ; 16:9 screen can feel cramped

If you are in the market for a Chromebook and happen to find the Pixelbook Go on sale, definitely give it an extra look. But at full price, you have to ask yourself how much simplicity is worth to you.

Google Pixelbook Go review: A perfectly good Chromebook that elevates the category

Google's Pixelbook Go is a perfectly good Chromebook, and that's exactly what the company set out to create, with a careful balance of quality features and economical compromises.

When Google vice president of hardware design Ivy Ross introduced the Pixelbook Go on October 15, she said they set out to make a laptop that would be “fast, last all day, and look and feel beautiful,” but with a more attainable price point. The...

Google Pixelbook Go Review: Treat your fingers

Unlike a chest of gold in the movies, the Pixelbook Go may not cast a honeyed glow on your face when you open the lid, but the keyboard you find waiting inside is no less precious. More affordable and more mainstream than the Pixelbook, Google's newest...

Google Pixelbook Go Review

The Google Pixelbook Go is a more affordable, longer lasting alternative to Google's original Pixelbook.

Light chassis ; Sleek, minimalist design ; Bright, colorful panel ; Long battery life

No USB-A ports ; So-so audio ; Limiting clamshell design

The Chromebook Flip C434 provides a 2-in-1 design at $599 ($250 less than the Pixelbook Go we tested), but its shorter battery life might give you pause. I recommend the Google Pixelbook Go, however, because it comes close to the original Pixelbook's...
