Google's aim to make higher-end Chromebooks more affordable to consumers has resulted in the $649 Pixelbook Go, revealed today at
a press event in New York City.
The Pixelbook Go sports the main features of the $999 Pixelbook from 2017, but expands the display from 12.3 inches to a 13.3-inch touch-screen display.
Google designed the Pixelbook Go for people on the move. It sports a grippable design, weighs barely 2 pounds, is 13mm thick, and can boot up Chrome OS in seconds.
The device has 12 hours of battery life (or two more hours than the 2017 model). Charging the Pixelbook Go's battery for only 20 minutes will also let you run the device for about two hours.
Furthermore, Google went out of its way to tout the keyboard on the device. "We took the premium keyboard from Pixelbook and made it more affordable. So rest assured loud typers, we've got your back with our quiet Hush Keys," the company said in today's announcement.
Though the new Pixelbook Go starts at $649 with an Intel Core m3 processor, you can also max out the specs with the $1,399 model, which includes a 4K display, an Intel Core i7 processor, and 16GB of RAM.
The company is taking pre-orders today in the US and Canada on the Google Store. The device will arrive in two colors: black and pink. The $649 and $849 models are set to start shipping Oct. 28. The more powerful models will arrive at a later date. You can check out the full specs.
