In our Google Pixelbook Go review, we found its super-slim design and bright, colorful display to be impressive. We gave the Pixelbook Go a 4 out of 5-star rating for its solid performance and great battery life.
The Pixelbook Go sports a low-profile, minimalist design. Its smooth, magnesium-alloy finish chassis has a single Google "G" logo on the lid. Meanwhile, the underside of the laptop's washboard-like, the ribbed texture gives you a solid, non-slip grip.
The unit we tested was the base model Pixelbook Go with i5-8200Y and 8GB of RAM. It shredded through 30 Google Chrome tabs and five 1080p YouTube videos simultaneously with zero lag. The Pixelbook Go in this deal packs a Core i7 CPU with 16GB of RAM, so multitasking will be exceptionally seamless.

It's more portable than the HP Envy 13 (2.8 pounds, 12.1 x 8.3 x 0.57 inches), the HP Chromebook 15 (4 pounds, 14.1 x 9.7 x 0.7 inches) and Asus Chromebook Flip C434 (3.1 pounds, 12.6 x 8.0 x 0.6 inches).
