The editors didn't like
Android/Chrome apps can be confusing
Lacks pro-spec apps as per Windows/MacOS
Big bezels for a modern device
Spec largely excessive for a Chromebook (at present)
It's hugely expensive
At this price and specification the Google Pixelbook is simply too expensive. Way too expensive. Furthermore
The speakers are tinny - and they certainly shouldn't be at this price - and Chrome OS is limited. Android apps also proved hit and miss
Rating
Pricey
Still can't run proper desktop apps
ChromeOS still fairly limited
As expensive as a full-blown laptop
Few pro-level art apps defeats the point of the Pen
It's expensive. The stylus is sold separately. It has the same built-in limitations as other Chrome OS systems
ChromeOS not yet suited to every task
Very expensive
Glass rear will be fragile
Pen shouldn't be optional
Pennan säljs separat
Dålig ljudprestanda
Ingen biometrisk inloggning
Low power processor
A MacBook Air or Macbook may be a better option
Wobbly display
Minimal Pixelbook Pen support
Professional apps aren't as fully featured as on Windows and Mac
Only two USB TypeC ports and no SD card slot
Chrome OS has limited inking support
Assistant isn't as useful as it could be
Android apps are supported
But buggy
Big display bezels
Weedy speakers
Android apps aren't optimised for Chrome OS
High price for a Chromebook
Lacks enough USB ports (ideally we'd like to see three or more)
A card reader and a HDMI socket
It's expensive
Many of the apps you can use on the Google Pixelbook let you continue working even when there's no internet access
Extremely slim, Handsome look, Beautiful, pixel-dense display, Feels snappy in everyday use, Battery can easily last a full workday
Chrome OS has limited inking support, Assistant isn't as useful as it could be, Android apps are supported, but buggy
Only if you're a diehard Chrome OS fan and want the very best Chromebook available. The Pixelbook has much to recommend it, but also suffers annoying problems, and more work is needed to make Assistant and the Pixelbook Pen truly useful...
It's easy to fall in love with the Pixelbook's sleek hardware, but the combination of a high price and faltering software means that the competition bests it on both laptop and tablet fronts.If you're after an entertainment device that's also good for a b...

Pricey, Still can't run proper desktop apps
Google's Pixelbook delivers on the promise of ChromeOS - a speedy, lightweight laptop with all of the intelligence and functionality that we've come to expect from Google. It may be expensive compared to most other Chromebooks, but it makes up for it w...
The Pixelbook is certainly expensive but not unreasonably so when you look at what you get. Yes, you could buy an Acer Chromebook R11 (to pick an arbitrary example) for a quarter of the price – but, as with most cheap Chromebooks, you'd end up with a medi...

Starting at £999, it's hard to recommend the Pixelbook.There's no doubt that it's a visually stunning piece of hardware. But its software, while improved and now with Google Assistant baked in, is a confusing mix of Android apps and janky web apps. If you...

The Pixelbook has high-end hardware and a great hybrid design, but it's still hard to justify spending so much on a Chrome OS laptop...

We've not yet been able to benchmark the Pixelbook or test out its battery life. But even without verifying Google's claims, it's a great-looking and well-built device. The price is a big sticking point, though.Chromebooks have thrived, primarily in schoo...

The Google Pixelbook is one of the most instantly attractive laptops we've ever had the pleasure of using, Chromebook or not. It's thin, light and gorgeous to look at, with some clever software tricks to boot. Were it running Windows, we'd have no hesitat...
