0:00
so we've had the pixel book go for one
0:02
week at this point and while it's not
0:04
enough time for me to form an entire
0:06
review I'm gonna go ahead and give you a
0:07
spoiler I love this Chromebook a whole
0:10
lot matter of fact it's really hard for
0:12
me not to just spill everything to you
0:14
right now but that's not fair to you
0:16
it's not fair to this device and so I'm
0:19
not knocking anybody that puts out a
0:20
review after a week that's fine
0:22
everybody does their things differently
0:24
but with this particular Chromebook I
0:26
want to make sure we take plenty of time
0:27
to get into all the intricacies because
0:29
I think it's a Chromebook that's worth
0:31
doing that with so for right now we want
0:33
to give you three things that within the
0:35
first week have really stood out to us
0:37
as being awesome and stellar about the
0:48
today's video is brought to you by Nord
0:50
VP and the VPN of choice for millions
0:52
and millions of users and it's because
0:54
they're awesome at what they do
0:55
securing your browsing activity whether
0:57
you're at home or on-the-go regardless
0:59
of what device you are using if you'd
1:01
like to learn more about their services
1:02
head over to chromevox comm ford slash
1:04
north VPN to learn more and get started
1:07
so first up number one is the build
1:10
quality of this thing and honestly when
1:12
I saw it in leaks and stuff like that I
1:14
just wasn't quite sure I wasn't quite
1:16
sure when they said it was gonna be made
1:17
out of magnesium I wasn't quite sure
1:19
when I saw the colors just just wasn't
1:22
sure about a lot of things let me tell
1:23
you this thing is built so so well it
1:27
feels so great to hold in your hand it
1:29
feels so firm and after dealing with so
1:32
many Chromebooks honestly that kind of
1:34
can feel flimsy and wobbly and all that
1:36
kind of stuff especially with one that's
1:37
as thin as the pixel what go is to pick
1:40
this thing up from just a corner and not
1:42
feel any worry about it bending or
1:44
flexing or moving it's just outstanding
1:46
I love the way that this device has been
1:48
put together number two input methods so
1:51
the keyboard and trackpad are not
1:53
surprisingly phenomenally awesome on
1:56
this Chromebook the glass trackpad
1:58
glides along it's nice and large the
2:00
click mechanism just has this reassuring
2:03
sound and feel to it I just love using
2:05
it and the keyboard is imagine that the
2:08
pixel book keyboard that I've raved
2:10
about for almost two years at this point
2:12
and then bring it down and it's sound
2:14
nice and quiet like the pixel slate is I
2:18
mean listen to that it's great it sounds
2:21
great it feels great it's responsive
2:23
it's easy to type on it's backlit with
2:25
no bleed around the keys it's just the
2:27
letters on there or glowing I can't say
2:30
enough good things about it love this
2:31
keyboard absolutely 100%
2:33
my favorite keyboard on any device
2:35
across the board at this point so pixel
2:37
book has won that title back for me and
2:39
the trackpad is as good if not better
2:42
than any other trackpad of every use so
2:44
Google absolutely nailed input methods
2:46
here and finally number three the third
2:48
thing I love about this and please don't
2:50
get confused there's not just three
2:52
things I love about this Chromebook but
2:54
we're trying to kind of keep this one
2:55
tight until the full review the number
2:58
three is the speakers they are
3:01
and when we saw that they were going to
3:02
be front-facing that's kind of how
3:03
Google's positions them they're not
3:05
really front-facing as much as their
3:07
upward firing but none of that matters
3:09
as soon as you crank something up so
3:11
watch a movie trailer I watched an
3:13
episode of mr. robot play some of your
3:15
favorite music through them you'll be
3:17
stunned at the sound that comes from
3:19
this tiny thin light little laptop it it
3:23
almost feels unreal it's it's shocking
3:25
how good these speakers are and every
3:27
person I've shown it to and said hey
3:29
listen to this real quick and they hold
3:31
it everybody's eyes light up like this
3:34
is coming from this laptop this seems
3:37
they are fantastic again without a doubt
3:40
the best set of speakers I've ever
3:42
personally heard on any laptop across
3:44
the board so again well done here Google
3:47
so that's it for this one
3:49
I've got other opinions and I've got
3:51
other things to say about this device
3:52
but those things need to wait for the
3:54
full review and I promise that's gonna
3:56
be coming soon enough but what I can
3:57
tell you is right now if you've been
3:59
thinking about getting one of these
4:01
devices I can go ahead and tell you that
4:04
you're gonna be really happy at 649
4:06
dollars again in the review we're gonna
4:07
talk about the different tiers and the
4:09
pricing and the screen and all that
4:11
other kind of stuff and all the things
4:12
that honestly this Chromebook is missing
4:15
when it comes to features and why or why
4:17
not that's important but again that's
4:20
all for the review and that's it for
4:21
