The glass trackpad is accurate, large and well positioned enough to avoid getting in the way while typing.Įither side of the trackpad are white silicon wrist rests, which are unusual for a laptop.
The keys are solid, have a good feel and are well spaced for a top-class typing experience. It has relatively large bezels around the outside, which makes it look a little dated compared to the likes of the MacBook Pro or Dell XPS 13.Īt times I wished the screen was a little bigger – without the bezels I suspect you’d be able to fit a 13in screen, perhaps larger, in the same body.īoth the keyboard and trackpad are great. The screen looks great, with good brightness, colour and a high pixel density matching top-end competitors, but it is also pretty reflective. It weighs 1.1kg, which is light for a laptop, but a bit heavy for a tablet. At 10.3mm thick the Pixelbook is noticeably thin for a laptop and not much thicker than some tablets.
A white glass panel on the lid breaks up the otherwise all-aluminium body. On a desk, the hinge will hold the screen at any angle without overbalancing the laptop, which is quite impressive.īuild-quality and design are exquisite, with a solid-feeling hinge and smooth lines. It will also stand on its end like a tent with the screen facing out, or screen out with the keyboard resting on a table. Like many other convertible PCs, the screen can fold all the way round on to the back. It feels like a combo of the Chromebook Pixel and Google’s Pixel C Android tablet. You can hold it like a tablet, but at 1.1kg it’s quite heavy to use for extended periods without resting it on something.
