Design

The Pixelbook Go is delightfully thin and light at just

over 1kg. I can slide it into the document sleeve of my

bag and still fit a laptop into the padded compartment

next to it. The compact 45-watt AC adaptor, with

foldout prongs and a USB-C cable, is easy to tuck into

a side pocket.

The magnesium alloy chassis is extremely sturdy.

The keyboard tray has no flex, and the display lid,

just a slight amount. The matte finish fends off

Google’s Pixelbook Go will offer two colours:

Just Black, and on some models, Not Pink
