26 TECH ADVISOR • FEBRUARY 2020REVIEW
Google designed the
ribbed texture on the back
of Pixelbook Go to make
the laptop easier to gripDisplay
The 13.3in, 1,920x1,080 Full HD display available on
all but the highest-end Pixelbook Go is a welcome
upgrade from the 1,366x768 HD screens we see on too
many other Chromebooks. Images and text look crisp,
and colours look good (the display has a 72 percent
NTSC colour gamut rating).
This resolution is also pretty easy on battery life. Of
course, you’ll use more juice if you crank the brightness
all the way up – we measured a hearty 391 nits at the
centre of the screen, a good range for working outside.
We used the Pixelbook Go with the display set at about
200 nits, which is comfortably bright for indoor use.26 TECH ADVISOR • FEBRUARY 2020REVIEW
