REVIEW

Connectivity: Two USB-C for charging and 4K display

support. That’s it, people. No legacy USB-A, not even

an SD card slot. But there is a headphone jack.

Wi-Fi: It’s worth noting the broad compatibility of

the antenna: 802.11a/b/g/n/ac. Also, the reason the

Pixelbook has a glass upper lid area is to enhance the

Wi-Fi antenna’s strength.

Battery life: The 41Whr battery lasts up to 10 hours,

Google says. Your mileage will vary, especially if you

crank up the display brightness. See our performance

section for more on the battery life.

Pixelbook Pen: A £99 option (fave.co/2xKTD9s), it

measures 147mm long and 10.7mm in diameter, and

weighs 21.3g. It takes a AAAA battery. It has 10ms

Google’s Pixelbook Pen (middle) lacks the flat edge that

keeps other similar pens from rolling away. (At left: Porsche
