The Pixelbook Go could be the Chromebook you’ve been waiting for

UPDATE: now on sale in the UK

Google might’ve finally made a Chromebook for the masses with the Pixelbook Go, a sleek ‘go-there, do-that’ device that (unlike some of the company’s previous Chromebooks) won’t break the bank. With prices starting at £629, the Pixelbook Go sits firmly in the mid-range, but still manages to look like a unashamedly top-end slice of hardware. Seriously, try not to fall in love with that gorgeous matte finish. Of course, looks aren’t everything, and the Pixelbook Go is also a pretty impressive under the hood. It weighs less than 2 pounds and is around 13mm thin, meaning it fully earns the ‘ultra-portable’ moniker. It’s also capable of delivering up to 12 hours battery life on a single charge (or two hours on a 20 minute charge), and is powered by a snappy 8th Gen Intel Core processor. A 13.3in touchscreen display is another welcome addition, as is the device’s backlit keyboard, which pledges to minimise noise disruption with ultra-quiet keys. The Pixelbook Go is available to buy in the UK from today.

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
