Google Pixelbook, the new ultrabook with Chrome OS at an unattractive price

Google took advantage of its event yesterday to present the compact, lightweight and portable Ultrabook-style equipment, Google Pixelbook, which has great features commensurate with its huge price.

Yesterday the new Google Pixel 2 were presented, but among the announcements there was also another of the products on which the company insists a lot, Ultrabook-type laptops. In this case, they presented the Pixelbook, a lightweight device with a 12.3-inch touch screen and an unknown resolution, since it was not given. This equipment has been developed with compatibility with the Pixelbook Pen, developed by Wacom and that allows to recognize up to 2.000 pressure levels, allowing a writing angle of 60º, although it has something negative, it is the response time of 10ms.

Internally these computers have Intel Core i7 and Intel Core i5 processors, whose models and architecture have not been revealed, but Cherry Trail processors would not be ruled out, which will be accompanied by a maximum of 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. flash type, all weighing 1.1Kg. Without a doubt, the weight is one of the most interesting aspects, since it makes it very portable.

Regarding this equipment, we must highlight that it has a 10.3mm thick aluminum chassis and a long-lasting battery, ten hours no less, which gives us a lot of use time and also a fast charging system has been included through USB Type-C, which with just 15 minutes of charging, guarantees two hours of use. It has a backlit keyboard to use it at night or dark spaces, it has Google voice assistance, it connects to the internet via WiFi and if there is no such connection, it can use 4G LTE mobile data.

All that glitters is not gold and this is because this team has Chrome OS, a kind of Android that is based on working in the cloud. Although, what takes away the desire the most is its price, which is $ 999, an extremely high price, which if we compare it with other laptops on the market (less light), we have a team with great connectivity, high-end processor , integrated graphics and an SSD.
