Yesterday was a whirlwind! We were fortunate enough to be at Google’s #madebyGoogle hardware event and seeing all the new hardware was pretty amazing. Right in the middle of all the phones, speakers, earbuds, software and AI, there was the announcement that brought us out to San Francisco in the first place.
The Google Pixelbook.
Sure, lots of stuff leaked, and we’ve known a lot before the event. We were glad to see the pricing lower than the leaks and you can see the basic rundown over here.
What can’t be conveyed in leaks, however, is the fundamental way a device makes you feel when you interact with it.
Pictures and video go a long way to help us (hence, why we’re sharing this video), but I can’t begin to explain to you how premium and amazing this hardware feels.
So, that’s what we focused on with our hands-on footage. You know the specs and you know the story. We wanted to share our reactions.
Hope you enjoy!
