There are a ton of details we now know about Google's upcoming Chromebook: the Pixelbook Go. From screen size/resolution to build materials, configurations, and speaker setups, we're more familiar with this year's #madebyGoogle Chromebook than any that came before it. It only makes sense, really. We (along with many other sites) have been tracking the development of 'Atlas' (this device's internal name) for over 18 months at this point, so more time under the microscope usually means more time for things to dribble out. Though we know much from the leaked info that is now out in the world, we still believe there are features we've tracked for the Pixelbook Go that we expect to see it launch with.

if you've clicked into this video it is
0:01
likely that you're interested or you
0:03
have heard about already the pixel book
0:05
go this is the successor kinda to the
0:08
pixel book in general and it's kind of
0:10
another departure for Google in the made
0:12
by Google Chromebook era so you had you
0:15
know the Chromebook pixels in 2013 and
0:17
2015 that were clamshells and really
0:19
expensive and aluminum and then we got
0:21
the pixel book and over the course of
0:23
its 2 years of life a lot of people have
0:25
come around to really enjoying the pixel
0:27
book well last year we got the pixel
0:28
slate and it kind of got hammered in
0:30
reviews and there were just some issues
0:32
with in general and it tripped out of
0:34
the gate and never really caught back up
0:36
but it's still a nice device but it was
0:38
a departure again so we went from
0:40
clamshell to convertible with pin to
0:43
fully detachable tablet kind of thing
0:45
and this year it looks like we're coming
0:48
back around to a full on clamshell
0:50
device in the pixel book go
0:53

today's video is brought to you by Nord
1:00
VPN there's a VPN of choice for
1:02
Chromebook users and iOS users Android
1:05
users Windows users just users in
1:07
general because they're awesome at what
1:08
they do keeping your browsing secure
1:10
whether you're at home or on the go if
1:12
you'd like to learn more about their
1:13
service head over to chroma and box comm
1:15
forward slash Nord VPN so the
1:18
information that we have about this
1:19
device is kind of a mix of different
1:21
things it's a mix of things we've been
1:23
tracking about a Chromebook called Atlas
1:25
for as long as we've been tracking the
1:26
pixel slate and it came out an entire
1:28
year ago so we've been looking at this
1:30
one for a while but it also comes via a
1:32
leak that was given to 9:00 to 5:00
1:35
Google it was an exclusive it was a
1:37
source somewhere inside Google that said
1:39
hey the stuff you've been seeing about
1:41
Atlas the leaks that you've seen in the
1:43
bugs and all that kind of stuff that
1:45
that has been swirling around the
1:46
internet for months we're gonna go ahead
1:48
and confirm that for you and let you
1:50
know a handful of things about this
1:51
device and what you can expect come
1:53
October 15th so what are those things
1:55
well the leaker gave a handful of very
1:58
specific stuff so a we know it's going
2:00
to be a 4k display it's gonna be
2:02
thirteen point three inches it's gonna
2:04
be sixteen by nine no we've seen that
2:06
prior and we thought that that might be
2:07
the case and kind of we're hoping it
2:09
wasn't but it looks like that's what
2:11
we're gonna get so now you're getting a
2:12
13.3 inch 4k display it's gonna be
2:15
labeled molecular display just like the
2:17
pixel slate was so expect some really
2:19
cool display tech to happen here it's
2:21
gonna look good it's probably gonna be
2:22
nice and bright and vibrant in color so
2:24
the screen is definitely gonna be a
2:26
highlight just like other made by Google
2:28
Chromebooks other details we have
2:30
surround the speakers they're supposed
2:32
to be front firing we're not sure
2:33
exactly how that will work in a
2:35
clamshell if they'll be on the screen or
2:36
on the deck of the keyboard but they're
2:39
supposedly going to be much louder than
2:41
the pixel book and hopefully we're
2:43
hoping that there'll be somewhat similar
2:45
to the pixel slate which has probably
2:48
the best speakers in any Chromebook
2:49
device right now additionally we're
2:51
gonna get a magnesium alloy shell so the
2:53
whole thing instead of being made out of
2:55
just aluminum is gonna be made out of
2:56
the same type of metal material that you
2:58
see in devices from Microsoft so all our
3:01
surface pro surface go surface book
3:04
surface laptop it's got a really nice
3:06
texture to it resists fingerprints and
3:08
is super light apart from those details
3:10
we have a couple of
3:12
small things and you can go to Chrome
3:13
and voxcom and read about it but those
3:14
are the big highlights of what we feel
3:16
like we kind of know about the pixel
3:18
will go but there are a handful of
3:20
things we've been tracking over the
3:22
course of the last 12 to 18 months and
3:24
it's a long time but we've been tracking
3:26
that are being developed for Atlas and
3:28
being tested on Atlas which is the code
3:30
name for the pixel book go so we wanted
3:32
to talk a little bit about those things
3:34
because we feel pretty confident with
3:36
Google saying hey we're gonna kind of
3:37
constrain ourselves and just we're just
3:39
gonna make a clam shell it's gonna be a
3:40
really good clam shell this time around
3:42
instead of trying to do something crazy
3:43
with a detachable or convertible and pin
3:46
and all that stuff like let's just get
3:47
back down to brass tacks and make a
3:49
great Chromebook we think maybe some of
3:51
these things we've been tracking that
3:53
are cool little features that Atlas is
3:55
supposed to have that we might just see
3:57
with the pixel book go
3:58
so first up are a couple tricks that we
3:59
hope to see with the screen on the pixel
4:02
will go one of those is adaptive
4:04
brightness in real-time so right now
4:06
Chromebooks a handful of them will do
4:08
adaptive brightness they have a basic
4:10
light sensor in them and when you first
4:12
boot it up it will actually adjust the
4:14
screen brightness based on the
4:16
brightness of the room it's pretty basic
4:17
we've seen it on smartphones forever
4:19
the problem is with Chrome OS right now
4:20
as soon as you adjust the brightness
4:22
that stops working it's now manual until
4:24
you reboot the thing again so it's not
4:26
the best system in the world and
4:27
honestly the automatic adjusting doesn't
4:30
work that well anyway with the pixel
4:32
will go we're hoping to see adaptive
4:34
brightness so what we see on the pixel
4:36
phones which is a much smarter kind of
4:38
AI driven way to adjust the brightness
4:40
on your screen based on your environment
4:42
and based on your input so it realizes
4:45
hey if there's this much light in the
4:46
room and he adjusts the brightness to
4:48
this next time there's that much
4:50
brightness I'll adjust the brightness
4:51
accordingly and so it's a much cooler
4:52
feature than what we currently have on
4:54
Chromebooks right now and we would love
4:56
to see that first up with the pixel book
4:58
go the second cool trick the screen
5:00
could do and this is a little bit of a
5:01
stretch but we could see a higher
5:03
refresh rate on the screen and there's
5:05
really no reason Google couldn't do this
5:07
with a branded molecular display and it
5:10
being 4k and super high DPI I mean
5:13
clearly they're gonna put a lot of
5:14
emphasis on this screen and they're
5:16
launching 90 Hertz screen refresh rates
5:18
on the pixel for that's been leaked left
5:20
and right so it stands to reason that
5:22
they might do this with
5:23
pixal book go and we've actually been
5:26
tracking this change in this development
5:28
with Chrome OS for I don't know a couple
5:30
months now and though that's for
5:31
external monitors it would also work for
5:34
internal monitors assuming that that
5:35
monitor could handle higher refresh
5:37
rates so it's not out of the ballpark
5:39
that we might see a 90 Hertz or 120
5:42
Hertz screen on the pixel book go
5:44
another really cool change that we're
5:45
tracking that has been tested on atlas
5:47
for months is a new form of quick
5:48
charging for Chromebooks now Chromebooks
5:51
do charge pretty quickly over USB see
5:53
I'm not gonna say that they're slow or
5:54
sluggish in charging but Google is going
5:57
to position the pixel book go I mean
5:59
listen to the name they're gonna
6:00
position it as a device that is on the
6:02
go that you take it with you it's for
6:03
people that are working on the go in
6:05
different places so the ability to top
6:07
off really quickly would be very
6:09
beneficial for users and we've been
6:11
tracking this change for a while so it
6:13
stands to reason that Atlas will launch
6:15
with some sort of new quick charging
6:17
mechanism hopefully giving users the
6:19
ability to plug it in and top off really
6:21
quickly last but not least is another
6:24
bit of a stretch but it's being tested
6:26
it's being tested on Atlas and a handful
6:28
of other Chromebooks but it would make
6:30
sense that Google would launch it with
6:31
the pixel book go first right at their
6:34
event it would be the first Chromebook
6:35
to do this and that's face unlock now
6:37
there isn't a lot of proof that Atlas is
6:40
going to have the necessary requirements
6:41
to do face unlock the way the pixel 4
6:43
will I mean that thing's got a variety
6:45
of sensors up top that are going to
6:47
allow it to do that kind of stuff and
6:48
we've talked about this over on the
6:49
website I don't think this is going to
6:51
be the type of face unlock that would
6:53
work as soon as you boot it up you can
6:54
login with your face and that's all you
6:56
need
6:56
I think this is gonna be kind of like
6:57
your pin or something like that where
6:59
you get in you login with your password
7:01
everything but if you want to wake it
7:03
from sleep and unlock it after you've
7:05
been logged in you may be able to option
7:07
yourself to be able to just use the
7:08
camera the front-facing camera and it
7:10
use your face to help verify that it's
7:13
you and it could be for some other
7:15
things too it could be for this ambient
7:17
display stuff that we know is coming to
7:18
Chromebooks it's gonna allow it to do
7:20
some Google home stuff while the screens
7:21
lock we're not sure but we know some
7:23
sort of face locking face detection
7:25
stuff is being worked on for Chrome OS
7:27
and it would make sense that the pixel
7:29
book go would be the first one to
7:30
leverage this new stuff so that's really
7:33
all we know so far and the cool part is
7:35
at this point guys we're
7:36
kind of just worn out with tracking
7:39
atlas and trying to figure out what
7:40
google's next move was we know enough
7:42
about it now that I can breathe a sigh
7:44
of relief
7:45
you can breathe a sigh of relief and on
7:46
October 15th all the answers are gonna
7:48
be here but we wanted to just make this
7:50
quick video to let you know hey here's
7:52
some other stuff that no one's talking
7:53
about just yet
7:54
that we also think is going to be
7:55
included in this next Chromebook and I
7:57
think when you add it all together
7:59
Google has put together what looks like
8:01
it's gonna be a pretty competitive
8:03
device as long as it's priced right so
8:05
we're excited about it we hope you're
8:06
excited about it
8:07
follow along make sure that you're
8:09
subscribed to the channel if you're not
8:10
already so that you can see everything
8:13
we uncover with the pixel book go
8:15
between now and the event and obviously
8:17
unboxing it and getting our hands on it
8:19
and reviewing it and all that kind of
8:21
stuff in the future also make sure if
8:23
you subscribe hit that notification bell
8:24
so you can be alerted when we make new
8:26
videos like this in the future also give
8:28
us a thumbs up that's it for this one
8:30
until next time we'll see you
8:32
