Google Pixelbook Go:

A perfectly good Chromebook

that elevates the category

It offers good design and performance for a better price. BY MELISSA RIOFRIO

Google’s Pixelbook Go is a

perfectly good Chromebook,

and that’s exactly what the

company set out to create.

Eight years into the Chromebook’s

existence, the category is still dominated by

small, super-cheap laptops. Google has

previously tried to inspire greater things with

halo models—the super-premium

Chromebook Pixel of 2013, and the stylish

Pixelbook of 2017. But most users couldn’t or

wouldn’t pay for them. “We heard loud and

clear that people loved the design and

wanted a lower price,” said Matt Vokoun,

Google’s Senior Director of Product

Management for Create Hardware.
