Chromebooks have come a long way.
Yes, Chromebooks have come a long way. For those of you who aren’t as tech savvy and might be a bit confused as to which model to buy, who this is for, etc, let me tell you about how I use it. I am a writer. I run my own site and I am a contributor for other sites. This means I need to write and I don’t always have wifi. No worries, you can write docs and save them offline. This is the same with emails and other apps. You can save them and they will upload and send as soon as you have internet. So, you absolutely can use this without internet. Another plus is if you have a flagship Android you can piggyback off your phones data, and can use Messages to send and receive texts from your phone. As I said, I run my own site, sometimes code is off and I need to fix it. No big deal if I’m on my desktop but if I’m not in the office I often have had to fix code on my phone. This is not optimal. What does work is this Chromebook. It is much easier to code on than using the keyboard on my phone. I also edit photos. Many Android photo editors work well on chrome os including Photoshop. You can edit photos without internet as well. This also has a touchscreen so photo editing and app control is great. So, as a writer, website owner, coder, this works well. I bought the M3 version because the i5 uses twice as much battery and the performance boost isn’t much better especially with the added battery usage. The i7 would be great but who on Earth would spend 1,500 for a Chromebook is beyond me. I adore this machine but for that price I would buy something else or even build a specked out desktop. That said the Pixelbook Go is a great buy. It fits my needs, doesn’t slow down, is super fast, and stays updated with guaranteed support for 6.5 years after release date. So, if you are a writer, blogger, website owner, coder (this also runs Linux if you want/need to code using Linux), mild photo editor, or just want to watch media etc; the M3 works very well. The memory should be plenty as well since it’s mainly for apps as you can store your photos and media the Google cloud. Also, this has the Play Store so you can grab any app from there that you want. I haven’t had any issues running apps or navigating through the OS. Most of the apps auto downloaded as I signed in to my Google account. I honestly can’t think of anything I dislike. It is sleekz attractive, andbwell built. The G Google placed instead of the chrome symbol is also a premium touch. I hope my review is helpful for clearing up any confusion. Unless you need a supped up rig for 4k gaming/ video editing this M3 version will be very useful for your daily life. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Outstanding Portability and Build Quality
While I have used Google Chrome extensively, I have never used a Chromebook until I got this. Have to say I absolutely love it, and it may replace my Macbook 12″ as my preferred traveling computing device. 99% of what I use any computer for would be internet surfing & shopping, organizing photos, email, spreadsheets and word docs, videos, and media like Netflix or Amazon Prime, or managing home apps like Nest. You can easily do all of that on this device.I bought the base configuration with the m3 processor and 8 GB RAM.Pros:1. Outstanding build quality – extremely solid, lightweight (maybe 2.3 lbs), NO body flex at all, and I really like the ribbed backside which seems less slippery than, say, my Macbooks. Very thin, and will easily fit into a laptop bag as a secondary computer if you travel (I travel for work).2. Base m3/8 GB memory configuration seems very snappy and responsive. I cannot imagine needing an i5 or i7, which seem like overkill to me for this device. The m3 version should be more than adequate for the vast majority of users.3. Boot-up is extremely quick, just a few seconds. After initial setup, which was very easy and quick and entirely guided, your Google password (same one you use for your gmail) will be your log-on password.4. Screen is very clear and bright, and setting the slider several notches below highest brightness should be very satisfying for most people. The 1080p screen is very clear and sharp. I don’t think you’ll need the high-res screen, but if you do, you can only get it with the expensive i7 version.5. Apps are easy to install, and things like Microsoft office apps, including Excel and Word, are available in the Google Play store, In fact, upon launching Excel and signing in with my Microsoft ID, all of my MS Office docs were immediately available even without installing One Drive.6. Keyboard, speakers, and track pad are all top-notch and very comparable to what you’d find in any Apple offering. Key travel and softness are outstanding, one of the best keyboards I have used anywhere with accurate keystrokes.7. Terrific integration – all of your Google Chrome bookmarks, apps, passwords, etc will immediately be ported over to this unit. If you’ve installed apps via Google Play on other devices, such as I did on my Samsung tablet, I was prompted to automatically install all of them here, including a bunch of games. Real time saver.8. Learning curve on how to operate this device was very quick. Most functions are intuitive and a couple searches on the internet taught me how to perform functions I wasn’t familiar with.Cons:1. During setup or some forms of heavy use, you can feel a lot of heat on the bottom center of the unit towards the hinge with the keyboard. The heat issue seems to dissipate in normal use.2. No SD card slot, so any external storage will have to be via a USB-C connection. The MS Surface laptops and even the Samsung laptops have nicely concealed micro-SD card slots for easily adding permanently-attached and hidden storage, which you cannot do with this. This device does have two USB-C connectors, one on each side.3. The base 64 GB storage seems lacking, and would be nice if Google had made its base configuration 128 GB, or at least if they’d offered a 128 GB option for a reasonable price without being forced to move to an i5 processor, which to me seems unnecessary in this device, at least for my use.I have not experienced flickering, WiFi connectivity issues, etc as have been mentioned in some of the reviews. The device has been rock solid in terms of usability and connectivity.All in all, a great device that feels a lot more like a “real laptop” and a viable competitor to an Apple or MS device than I thought it would. You are not roped into using Google apps, and in fact can us MS Office apps just as you would on a Mac or Surface. I really like this little machine, and it’s thin, lightweight, yet strong design with solid battery life make it a great travel companion.

Build Quality + Battery Life + Lightweight OS = Win
Great piece of hardware here. The entire outside is a lightweight metal that reminds me of magnesium, but I might be wrong. From pictures, I assumed that the ridged underside would be a glued-on rubber pad. Not the case. That’ seems to be the same metal as the rest of the body. There are 2 rubber “strips” at the front and back to provide some grip, but most of the underside is metal (Good for heat dissipation, really neat design there).Thin laptops often have flimsy screens. When you go laptop shopping, test the screen for “flex”. I don’t like flex in my screens, and this passes with flying colors.The keyboard feels great. The trackpad is very responsive and works well. The click of the trackpad is a little on the loud side for my taste– I wish it had been haptic feedback similar to the macbook pro.F keys are tricky. You can hold down the “application” button (where the caps lock lives) and use the top row as F1-F10. Need F11-F12? It’s nowhere I could find on the support site. I had to start up a support chat to find that using the same application button combo, use the number keys F1-0 (F1-10) and then – = for F11 and 12. This works, but I don’t like how hard I had to look to track down the info. I know that you can treat the top row as F keys by default as well, with the flip of a toggle in the settings.Chrome OS is good. I think it will get better. I’d like to see more of the trackpad gestures I learned to love on Macbooks. Three-finger-swipe to see virtual desktops would be a great start.

The Pixelbook Go is a fantastic laptop for simple surfing and office work. It’s not a ultra powerful computer but it’s responsibe, light, thin, etc.I got a used one from JCM Ventures and was very impressed with it. The unit itself had a couple scratches on the bottom (see pictures), but otherwise was in good condition with a battery near 100% conditioning. For the price it was a great deal.

Excelentes acabados. Audio de alta calidad. Muy ligera. Adquirà la versión básica de esta Chromebook pero corre muy bien. El teclado está en Inglés, asà que algunos caracteres que habitualmente ocupamos en Latinoamérica se deben de obtener a partir de combinaciones y ajustes muy sencillos. El vendedor tristemente envió el producto en una caja de cartón de cerveza de reuso.

This is a real quality Chromebook. Very light and well constructed – just what I was looking for. It’s fast with 8MB RAM and perfect for browsing, video calls, and using Google docs, sheets etc.

If it was a Windows laptop I would give it 5 stars without any complaint. Even if it takes $200 more expensive to be Windows compatible I would still give it 5 stars.Good screen. Good Keyboard. Great speakers. Good build quality. Great portability. Great battery life.This chromebook is really thoughtfully designed. There are so many details that have been taken care of. If you are a electronic geek you will feel it. It’s not just another Chromebook. The quality and design justifies the price. Some people may say, at such price you can buy a windows laptop with better specs. That is not all true. You can buy a windows laptop with powerful CPU, higher SSD capacity, but not so lightweight and portable. If a windows laptop is so portable and still more powerful, it price would be above CAD$1200.However, it is still a Chromebook. The limitation of chromeOS makes me unable to give 5 stars. Let alone the lack of “photography retouch softwares” which most people complain about. It lacks some more essential software support. For example, a full-function microsoft Office. Some documents are messed if they are opened in google docs or microsoft office web version, they can only be properly processed in a Windows/Mac microsoft office. There is not a full-function Adobe PDF reader either. Sometimes a PDF needs to be validated to generate a barcode and only windows/mac adobe reader can do this. ChromeOS is so crippled that it can only be used for “light entertainment “, and Google does not want to change this status. It seems google wants to distinguish ChromeOS from anything else, but in a bad way. ChromeOS has been out for 10 years and is still a joke. I recently found a bug that the touchscreen become offset when there is a drop-down menu on the webpage. I’ll update with pictures if I have time.
