Review on πŸ’ͺ Powerful Google Pixelbook: i7 Processor, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB Storage by Jacob Brooks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I can run Linux 18.04 from Steam on this Pixelbook!

If you're looking for a versatile, handy, fast tablet/laptop combo that runs Google Play apps, this is a great product. Pros: Sturdy metal body that also dissipates heat Steam games - Bright, colorful and sharp display - Very fast - Light weight - Portable - Can expand your desktop to another display by adding a mini USB-C dock (I use one UtechSmart Hub 11-in-1 USB-C) - Touchpad is VERY responsive - Loads VERY fast (about 3-5 seconds from power on to login screen) - Apps load quickly and web browsing is very fast - Photos are rendered quickly opened and editable the fly - There are already a large number of applications targeting chomebooks to take advantage of more powerful processors/memory. Linux functions are already integrated. There may be support for Windows 10 in the future (referred to as the Eve Campfire project). - Some apps have minor visual glitches when switching between laptop mode and tablet mode (wait for a fix with newer fixes) - The left USB-C port sometimes stops working when I insert the mini-dock into the left side port stuck, but that's easily fixed with a forced shutdown and reboot.
