The Google Pixelbook the company’s premium Chromebook. It is the first to feature Google Assistant built-in as well as a dedicated button to launch the assistant.

Our early look at Fuchsia OS last May provided a glimpse into a number of new interface paradigms. Several months later, we now have an updated hands-on with Google’s future operating system that can span various form factors.

Back in 2014, Google hired Ivy Ross to lead Google Glass. With previous stints at Gap, Disney, and Mattel, she is now vice president of hardware design, UX, and research. In an interview, Ross discusses leading the Made by Google design team and revealed some early iterations of the Pixel 2 and other recent devices.
With Fuchsia, Google is creating an operating system designed to run on everything from Internet-of-Things devices to desktops. In the works since 2016, the latest development sees Google adding support for the Pixelbook as a “target device.”
The Pixelbook continues in the grand tradition of Chromebooks made by Google featuring ridiculously high-end configurations. Announced in October, the most premium Pixelbook specification is now available from the Google Store with the holiday discount and Home speaker offer. Meanwhile, shipping to receive Store orders by Christmas ends today.
Google’s Pixelbook is an incredible piece of hardware from the company’s ever-growing collection of devices, but we haven’t seen much in the way of accessories for it. Now, Google is launching its own official sleeve for the Pixelbook, coming soon to the Google Store.
Chromebooks often come with enticing offers, mostly involving Google’s own products. A Google Play gift card here, a few hundred gigabytes of Drive storage there, it’s all been done. But now, Google is offering 6 months of Netflix with a select few Chromebooks.
There was word earlier this year that a handful of Chromebook models were going to add new capabilities to the trackpad, including a “pinch-to-zoom” feature which is absent from most models. Now, that feature is live on a couple of machines.
The Pixelbook is a very expensive and premium laptop in general with Google offering a $249 “Preferred Care” program that extends the warranty. Another solution sees Google again partnering with uBreakiFix, but this time on a complete replacement program for the Chromebook.
The Google Store rolled out a suite of deals on Black Friday, but on Cyber Monday announced a new set of offers on its most in-demand items. A Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL purchase nabs a Google Home Mini and $100 store credit. Meanwhile, the first Pixelbook offer throws in a Google Home.
Chromebooks are great, but they’ve built up a less than stellar reputation over the years from a lot of mainstream users. In the past couple of years, Chrome OS has improved a lot, and now with new hardware on the table, Google is ready for another big marketing push, starting with a new YouTube channel.
If you’re an owner of Google’s new $1,000 Pixelbook, you probably want to protect it. However, covering up such a gorgeous machine requires something a bit more than your standard laptop sleeve. That’s where Bellroy’s Pixelbook sleeve comes in.
Google’s efforts with its various Chromebook partners this year haven’t been going all that well. The Samsung Chromebook Pro and ASUS C302CA give you a lot on paper, but after using them, I find myself unimpressed. Back in the day, the Chromebook Pixel was the top-of-the-line machine everyone looked to as the golden standard, but it’s been gone for some time, and its effective replacements haven’t quite matched it.
Now, we have the Pixelbook, another top-tier laptop in both price and quality. It’s running on Chrome OS, and its claim to fame is the same as the original Chromebook Pixels: amazing hardware and specs. Has Google finally made a Chrome OS machine worthy of a massive price tag?
Looking to build hype for the upcoming Pixelbook launch, Google has sent a care package over to the UK so that a YouTuber by the name of SuperSaf TV could unbox and show off the Chromebook. The best part about the unboxing, though, just might be the Google-branded Herschel backpack that everything shipped in…
Google’s $999 Pixelbook is a pretty gorgeous, futuristic device with some pretty advanced and premium hardware. It even has an optional pen/stylus that lets you better draw and use the laptop as a tablet. However, there’s something interesting to note about that pen — it runs on a battery you probably didn’t even know existed.
Alongside the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, Google announced a whole slew of new products. These include a new premium Chromebook called the Pixelbook, two new Google Homes, Assistant-powered Bluetooth headphones, and more. Below are all of the places currently selling the search giant’s latest products…
Google today announced Pixelbook, a laptop which we now know is indeed the long-rumored “eve” Chromebook. And yes, it’s a Chromebook. It runs Chrome OS, which over the last couple of years has slowly been growing the ability to seamlessly run Android apps. With the Pixelbook, Android apps are fully up-and-running. That’s great by itself, but Google isn’t stopping there with this device — there’s also Google Assistant, a fancy stylus, and more.
But the elephant in the room is that it’s pretty expensive. Maybe not as expensive as the leaks expected it might be, but a Chrome OS laptop isn’t going to be capable of running full versions of critical productivity software (yet at least), and that’s gonna hold it back a bit…
Google took to the stage today to debut quite a few new hardware and software releases, and there was a lot to get through. If you don’t have time to sit down and watch the entire event, we’ve got you covered…
The Chromebook Pixel launched in 2013 as the premium Chrome OS laptop and was followed by a successor in 2015. Following a two-year cadence, Google today unveiled the expensive “Pixelbook” convertible laptop with optional stylus.
After months of leaks, we have finally made it to October 4, 2017. Today Google will finally unveil all of its latest and great products for the world to see. Thankfully, to make it easier for everyone to watch and enjoy on almost any device, Google is livestreaming the entire event on YouTube, and we just happen to have the video embedded below just for you.
Well, folks, we’re just a day away from Google’s October 4 event in which we expect the company to announce a whole slew of new products. This includes both products that we have seen leaked and several that are still just rumors.
What new Google products are you most excited for?
In addition to the Pixel 2 and a Home Mini, Google is expected to announce a high-end convertible Chromebook with a stylus called the “Pixelbook.” Thanks to a reseller inventory page we exclusively found this morning, we now have a few more details about its specs. In addition, Google is also working on another mysterious device called “Clips.”
It’s been almost exactly one year since Google held its first “Made by Google” event, featuring the first wave of products out of Google’s newly-found seriousness about hardware. This year we’re expecting refreshes for lots of products that debuted for the first time last year, and perhaps a few exciting surprises as well…

We have known for quite some time now that Google has been working on a brand new and more powerful Chromebook codenamed “Eve.” Today, almost every new product that we expected to announce at its October 4 event was leaked, including the “Pixelbook.” Its release will mark a significant shift in Chrome OS’s history because of everything it features, but it will also do so with a starting price of $1,200.
Do you plan on purchasing the Pixelbook Chromebook despite its $1,200 or higher price tag?
Today has seen a deluge of leaked hardware that will likely be announced at Google’s upcoming October 4th event. Matching last month’s rumor of a new Chromebook Pixel is a leak for the “Google Pixelbook” starting at $1,199 which features a pen accessory.
