Google is bringing back the Chromebook Pixel, with a slightly different name. The new Google Pixelbook is a high-end Chromebook that looks like a cross between a Lenovo Yoga laptop and Microsoft’s Surface Book. Just like the leaks we saw last month, Google’s Pixelbook has a blocky design with big keys, a wide trackpad, and a 12.3-inch display. It’s the new premium Chromebook that we haven’t seen for a couple of years now, and it’s priced starting at $999.
That’s a lot of money for a Chromebook, but Google think it’s worth it. Google’s Pixelbook flips around like a Lenovo Yoga PC to become a tablet. While most PC manufacturers are moving to displays with thinner bezels, Google has opted for a tall 12.3-inch display with a 3:2 screen aspect ratio and rather large bezels. On the base model, priced at $999, there’s a 7th generation Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage. There are two USB-C ports for charging or accessories, and if you’re using a Pixel phone you can set it to automatically tether data.
