" ...  It has plenty of power and I have been blown away with the level of Android app support which makes this thing complete for functionality.  ...  "
comment
" ...  My one gripe, and the reason I'm writing this review is this: Pixelbook now allows you to download Android apps. ... Downloaded Youtube TV (also a google product!) ... Now I know I could go watch it on my chrome browser, and I will do that. ... I also know that not all android apps work perfectly on chromebooks yet. ... (Bunch of people clapping) ---Guy in the back: "Should be make sure that at least our own apps are compatible before we release it?"  ...  "

" ...  I never have to worry about viruses or paying for virus protection software. ... However, just as with all of their past shortcomings, Google is working and working and will enable premium file management eventually as well. ... Google Chrome is an AMAZING OS for the vast majority of us. ... And unlike Mac and Windows, it'll NEVER SLOW DOWN.  ...  "

" ...  The Google cloud services and eco system are among the best options out there. ... For those who own the Pixel 2, Google also makes it extremely easy to tether your Pixelbook to the Pixel 2 to use it's data/cellular connection when WIFI may not be accessible.  ...  "

" ...  I was surprised at how great the android apps work on it. ... You can pin the app to the shelf so I have my outlook and Firefox just like on my windows laptop. ... If you are not sure if you can go with a Chromebook try this use your computer now with the Chrome browser only for a week or two and see if you can live with it.  ...  "

" ...  I recently chose to switch from Windows to Chrome OS. ... Plus, productivity software comes free. ...

" ...  I've used chromebooks in the past, but when you make your money in a chrome browser like I do you want something fast, something beautiful, something you can bring in front of a client.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I'm getting used to Chrome OS and have good luck with the Microsoft Office apps (though I miss icons in Word and PPT, something I use very frequently). ... perhaps someone said it somewhere and I missed it, but Google makes it nearly impossible to set up the Google Assistant and get access to the Google Play store if you have a G Suite account (i.e, not a @gmail.com email address).  ...  "
comment
" ...  However, I would say that unless you specifically want the pixel pen or the google assistant feature, you can get other chromebooks costing $400-500 and pretty much have the same experience. ... Again, the selling point (in comparison to other chromebooks) is the pixel pen & google assistant feature.  ...  "

" ...  I have a Windows 10 PC, but I bought a Chromebook because I value the simplicity, speed, and reliability of it far more than I value the ability to install very specific desktop software. ... When it comes to performance, this computer is super fast, with a ton of RAM and a high-end processor. ... It boots super fast, updates are quick and barely noticeable, and it's a reliable computer. ... And if having the best speed and hardware is something you really appreciate -- I would highly recommend the base model Pixelbook. ... I personally don't see the value in the higher-end Pixelbooks in terms of noticeable performance differences for the significant price boost over the base model.  ...  "
