Review on Google Pixelbook Go: A Sleek & Lightweight Chromebook Laptop with Extended Battery Life & Touch Screen - Just Black by Ricardo Anderson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Chromebooks have come a long way.

Yes, Chromebooks have come a long way. For those of you who are not that tech savvy and maybe a little confused as to which model to buy, who it's for, etc., let me explain how I use it. I am a writer. I have my own website and I participate in other websites. That means I have to write and I don't always have wifi. Don't worry, you can write documents and save them offline. The same applies to email and other applications. You can save them and they will be uploaded and broadcast as soon as you have internet. So you can absolutely use this without internet. Another plus is that if you have a flagship Android, you can use your phone's data and use Messages to send and receive texts from your phone. As I said, I have my own site, sometimes the code doesn't work and I need to fix it. It's fine when I'm on a desktop, but when I'm out of the office I've often had to fix code on my phone. That's not ideal. What really works is the Chromebook. It's much easier to program on than using my phone's keypad. I also edit photos. Many Android photo editors work well on Chrome operating systems, including Photoshop. You can also edit photos without internet. It also has a touchscreen, so photo editing and app control are great. So, as a writer, website owner, programmer, this works well. I bought the M3 version because the i5 uses twice the battery and the performance gain isn't much better, especially with the extra battery drain. An i7 would be great, but anyone who on earth is spending $1,500 on a Chromebook is out of my league. I love this machine but for the price I would buy something else or even do a speckled desktop. However, the Pixelbook Go is a great buy. It meets my needs, doesn't lag, is very fast and is constantly updated, with guaranteed support for 6.5 years from the release date. So if you are an author, blogger, website owner, programmer (this also runs Linux if you want/need to program with Linux), light photo editor or just want to watch multimedia etc.; M3 works very well. The storage should also be enough as it is mainly reserved for applications as you can store your photos and media in the Google cloud. It also has the Play Store so you can download any app you want from there. I had no problems launching apps or navigating the operating system. Most apps are automatically downloaded when I sign in to my Google account. To be honest, I can't think of anything I don't like. It is elegant, attractive and well built. Also, the G placed by Google in place of the chrome icon is a premium touch. I hope my review will help clear up any misunderstandings. If you don't need a high-performance device for 4K gaming/video editing, this M3 version will be very useful for your daily life. I am very happy with my purchase.
