LIVE From Google: #MadeByGoogle 2017 Event Wrap-Up

hey folks Robbie Payne with chrome unboxed and

give us just a second it's live does

that audio sound better hopefully that makes the audio sound better it helps if

I plug into microphone anyway guys we're here live from Google post the made by

Google event so we are there earlier this morning kind of got our hands on all the new stuff that Google's offering

before we get into any of that stuff I wanna make a couple introductions I know that with our traffic our our user base

between our YouTube channel and the website can be a little different so I wanted to introduce a couple guys to you

just as much as I do make chrome unbox tick so on my left and coming off his

first his first review is Gabriel ringers my right is the man that's

normally behind the camera today Joe Humphrey and you're looking at this

is kerwin box and so part of what we want to start doing here is using

YouTube live for stuff like this special events and those kind of things but also to actually start recording a

podcast we did a poll a few months back and we asked with you guys be interested

in podcast and overwhelming response was yes we've not had the ability in our

schedules to actually do that up until now but we're gonna make good on that for a little while hopefully be doing a

bi-monthly podcast and we're gonna do it in this format as long as this works out basically the way we're gonna work it is

we're gonna have a YouTube live times to where we can take some questions and just like today if you feel like getting

this up in chat do it we have a Chromebook down here we're keeping up with things you're going on

there so we want to answer questions we'll probably make some time for that at the end specifically but we wouldn't

kind of have an interactive session that we can also take and use that audio as a podcast for those that can't make it

whenever we have YouTube live session so I see how it goes you see if that format works good for us for you guys that want

to listen to that podcast but without further ado we kind of want to get started with

I mean we're live from Google yes so that's pretty cool we're we're live in

Mountain View yeah we're really excited to be here but the whole reason we came out here was for the made by Google some people

are calling it the pixel to event so so Robbie you're Gabe you know tell me a

little bit about what this event was what products did we see today

what are we most excited about right for the most part there wasn't a lot of

surprises this was all based around the new pixel phone just like last year's

original pixel photo we have pixel to pixel xl2 but we knew that the Google

home mini was coming which is a small version of the Google home speaker they did a couple of surprises we had heard a

leak about a Google home max a large stereo speaker we did not expect to see

it while we were here it showed up a $400 massive adaptable

learning speaker very interested in finding out more about it and then they had the

pixal buds yeah takes a little bit more about that because yeah this said this

is one of the things for me at least stole the show a little bit

that pixel buds are basically a set of wireless earbuds that on the surface

don't look like that in general you know it's the wire earbuds that kind of sit

on your neck that doing anything amazing that way but what they do offer is

obvious ties to be consistent the ability to call on Google assistant similar to

what we've seen in the O's qc5 - that just came out so we're gonna see

probably a lot of headphones was really striking about these is the

real-time language translation that they did they did a demo on stage I'm sure if

you haven't seen it you can go back and remember exactly where in the whole presentation that was because of our

campus events like that so it's worth watching the whole thing was really well done but they they brought one of the

speaker's out she came out and spoke in

her native tongue time was able to go back and forth in English yes phone was

the phone was putting out the audio in English yeah right and she was just speaking and she just yank her native

tongue is anything to speak to that they got the guy that had the phone and it but it it was like had to sit there and

they push buttons between it was just a seamless interaction that

it was a surprise so obviously there was

really exciting because there was a lot of so they they got to come and bail

this camera that they've already had DxO mark test that is his company they test cameras in

general last year they were able to unveil the pixel in pixel XLS having the highest EXL mark score 88 was in the cup

up to 90 yes it ranged 87 to 90 but it was the highest ever and then my phone

has come out I thought I'd come out looking it looks like that's just a staggeringly good camera a couple points

higher than that I've just been the stuff I've seen online it's looking amazing it's been capturing

and Google got to come out today and say yeah we we had this thing run through the XL park and it score the highest

score ever at a 98 and that's out of a hundred and DxO doesn't just give away

their scores easily so there's a ton we could spend a ton of time talking about

it's worth watching again worth watching the video back and looking at some of the stuff they're doing like you know

portrait mode with dual cameras it's a thing you know that everybody's kind of excited about and they're able to do some sort of dual pixel thing and create

that depth look it's a large look with a single camera

and some of the machine learning and AI that's that's been behind everything they conquered artificial intelligence

taking hardware and software and making them go together that was behind

and clearly that they did the same thing with the camera so it's a mix of cool

software machine learning may I and I'll accept that they can't do all these cool trip to it and man it looks like it is

gonna be stunning but obviously guys I mean we we we flew all the way out here for one particular

product that was announced today so tell me a little bit about the pixel book

it's it's it's a just about everything that we thought it was you know they

announced that we were 99.99 percent sure that they would

he heads him inside him mother came to us in last couple days like that kind of key to stand on some of the features

that him was and was not going to to have but the minute we walked out of the

event and we're able to get him his lights Wow I mean just wow

the first thing you will notice about it is it is finished yes it is a ten point

three millimeters then it is a laptop version

glass back across the top yeah and I echo that because

the event was crowded today and so it it was good our efforts over before I I

didn't anything more than just literally touch his reception okay I'm not gonna I'm not gonna fight with

people hallway and the guys at Google men were just so so gracious we had

quite a few people we got to spend a lot of time with them

and talk with them and they got to share with us and you know they're reading the site and so it

was that was really really cool so shout out the damage they were awesome today

but yeah I I remember just being stunned I picked it up because it's it's one

kilogram so it's not heavy no and just for perspective hold your

smartphone app like licking your smartphone maybe with the case in the real thing case is a palace thickness

the entire fix with this yeah and they've done some really awesome engineering so that when he folded into

tablet mode it literally and they sold this on stage right but absolutely true that you flipped into tablet mode is the

first convert walk ever held it actually feels like a tablet when it's in town mode still got the keys on the back but

other than that I mean it the build quality IQ yeah they they did they did

some things with with the screw it's it's likely identical to the scream and the screen in the Samsung Chromebook pro

but they have the bezels shaped in such a way that it just it's very symmetrical

pointed out the build of the keyboard is very very intentional their research

and the trackpad or is recessed as well so when it isn't a blur

noting the etched glass touchpad the keyboard nothing

soft touch keyboard and I was reading I think I told you this the travel is actually it is 0.8 is the travel

one of the engineers that's been chromebooks it's the beginning he was

talking specifically about the keyboard and how intentional they were about give him to travel right I think hitting the

responsiveness right so that it clicked up when it supposed to and and you know we don't want to be have people to go

and hate on other other things but you know I've typed on

new keyboard that's on Macs there was a real slim travel and especially on a MacBook and travels just I don't like it

it almost feels like you're hitting on them does the hard surface it barely moves whatsoever and I get it you want

to have a thin device with a keyboard and they said they were they went through painstaking ordeals and trial

that came from reckoning hundreds of attempts they went here to get your keys just right and I'm not joking it it

feels better than typing on the first two pixels of that same such saying so because those keyboards on those things

amazing it feels better and what you're saying the travel is actually less so

yeah so I don't know that there is a ton of engineering yeah so design is his top

match and I mean that's what we heard we knew that that they wanted to put out a top-notch product you know that was on

par with didn't really buy in this in this category so the designer in the build of

this thing is just is amazing but let's let's talk a little bit about features that's a good ticket we have a few

people watcher viewers asking some questions so we don't get too last about the pin because let's talk

features and pens so let us kind of interact and what what what unique things does this thing does

this pixel up to you so the pixel book in it is it is a separate accessory it's

$99 but it's obviously a little bit more like a writing utensil than the Samsung

growing less than say but it is made it

does have a barrel button and this is probably the most interesting feature is right now the barrel button invokes the

assistant so have some video we'll share maybe later tonight or in the morning you can hold

that circle and item on your screen or highlight tags the assistant to do a

contextual search share information based on whatever

we've had some people asking about the pin if it will work with other devices they worked hand in hand with whacko to

make this it's plausible that it might work with some other devices I wouldn't

buy one encounter on it from a lot of the stuff we've dug up in the depository pretty sure that this is

the first compactive we've been to store but it's right lakum digitizer so

there's a chance because it does take a battery so there's probably some stuff in there so it may or may not work

yeah I wouldn't I wouldn't buy it thinking hey I'm gonna pass heaven actually paying for my Sam sons of other

digitizer our silence in April Chromebook is that I'm not sure how those things will work

obviously what we do in our hands we try some of that stuff yeah and we have a they had it was really cool to go in

there because they didn't just have a couple of these laying around they actually had one area of the event set

up with probably 10 maybe it doesn't say like 15 15 Chromebooks that had displayed on

them images that people had drawn completely with

yeah it's pretty phenomenal because I mean you're looking at a device and to detect over 2000

different pressure levels 60% 60-degree angle or detection and riding

with it you know I noticed instantly as

soon as I started riding with it just a latency oh yeah there was just feel is

it feels so much like riding I mean the pro just did a really good job with this

but I think I think they've really even improved it more here oh yeah the latency isn't to me honestly was not

noticeable no no I literally couldn't notice my sort of latency whenever I had the paper yeah that's awesome buddy in

their ass doesn't open with one hand I did try that yeah and before we go in

for that the VM features go ahead let you know we did have some some aside

time with some of the developers and let's department and we'll talk about

that later this week just so you know this was Google's Hardware event it was a reflection of last year's Hardware

event this is where Google is putting dollars to sell products to the general

public there was not any discussion about that from the stage and likely that's not something you're going to hear about

on Main Street news that's

a lot of our readers and a lot of the stuff that we write about the general public does care about and we'll we'll

share we'll share some of that later yeah thank you know that there's a nice-looking Chromebook out there and

they can go by and speaking now coming back to some of the other specs that are on it memory options why it's so much

memory over you know and they brought up some really good points

as as app developers are now going to have a reason platforms

they're never reason to build one desk top quality applications that will run named roids to ensure but long crumbling

picture and as that kind of happens and if you see that kind of folding for like

Adobe would be a program able they showed have lighter and running and it's it's a desktop class library it's not

virginal librarian so as you start seeing more and more applications like this people are gonna hit me storing

more and more stuff so using Lightroom you might be editing

massive you might have keep locally store before you start sending stuff Ellsberg so you know that

kept kind of reiterating look we want to make sure we have an option for pretty much any English

faces for added so that was kind of their answer to the large hard drives

there still could be a lot of stuff the container technology and all the

stuff could play out whether we ever see it mainstream sure and someone else

asked about a ECMO probably not

you know they had an LTE version before but I just it's been a very narrow market there

one for rent a drone 200 I think yeah that has LTE I mean

they might they might not it's just not something that's really a huge issue but one feature we did see today was the

incent every yes so talk about that for a second because that was really interesting to me so we talked to a win

and it's been probably cool months since that was uncovered like hey this is being added to Chrome OS and Chromebooks

kind of stuff this is the first time we've seen it yes Blake we mentioned like it's just this is the thing that

pixel book does right yeah and we see I think Chrome stories actually

but we've seen some guys in the Google community who've shared to share how it works and essentially what it is if you

have a pixel photo and you have a pixel book and and presumably this will work with other

in the food future from the flag that we we found it's the phones have to be

google-specific so Nexus 6p 5x pixel pixel I'd sell whatever the

current if you come within range of your phone

we'll automatically

so you don't lose your connectivity yeah which is will come in really handy so

let's talk a little bit about some of those other features that we saw today you know we we didn't get a fingerprint

reader a fingerprint scanner right but we got an assistant but so you know talk

a little bit about that and some of those other you know key features to eat it out on the device yeah we've talked

through some of this stuff this is where we found a there's gonna be a new keyboard play here's the keys one of

those things in assistance there look inside you can interact with it just

it'll also answer to saying okay and I'm not going to say it your own say they'd say a keyword will

pop up but additionally that taco has changed as well so you get that far

right but now instead of being like a lot of convertibles with a lock button

you've got a contextual button that actually opens up here Trey over on the right-hand side you got a play/pause

button there in the middle they've got rid of the forward button

it's cool to see those new keys and that new people setup you know it's just being this more of that stuff like yeah

we had covered this stuff early and here it's like here this reflection

yeah guys and I mean you know the the features you know are supporting the

hardware right so I mean you know that's what that's what they said on stage is that this is advice that software and

hardware working perfectly together with with AI so with with the assistant goes over right so you know we've got this

device now so what exactly does this mean for the Chrome OS ecosystem kind of

as a whole right so we've got this great new device what does it mean moving

I think think about the fact that this device is expensive

there's a very different attitude towards the 20:15

pixal so the 2015 Chromebook pixel pay and they drop the price and up for the entry-level to $9.99 but should sound

here that's what the pixel books comes in the interesting part is when Google

without the Chromebook pixel 2015 just like they did in 2013 they've brought this device out hey this is for maybe a

handful of Bella burgers it's just a showcase to show what Google

yes that was really kind of the whole idea not worried about selling too many of them they don't fly people thought

well maybe that's what they're doing pixel book - and I've contended the whole time and was affirmed in this with

talking to the guys from last team that's not the direction you're looking

at with this device so sure it's the same price sure it's super

premium but they included it in the made by Google event and just like right Gabriel alluded to just a little bit ago

if you think about this you know that this event was for mainstream consumers

this event we love our readers

most part of you all and in us we don't represent the general consumer we don't

represent the general

we're not those people will dig look research all the screen stuff that's not

that general consumer whose general consumer you know see stuff in the stores he's a commercial that's how they hear about this product

and that's exactly where they've named this device and so regardless of price and how great it is

maybe it's hi-hi aim for a firm look google clearly is naming this name

and that's that's the thing that they believe besides after we got the chaplains in there

they're pushin Alice [Music]

because that matter is there a large number people using them down

but there's still a lot of people who have you ask them what a Chromebook is they might not have even heard it

so that's their goal now is to make it a marketable

making the pixel book they creating

high-end product that's still other devices than I mean because let's

look at the surface laptop $999 and they were targeting college students I guess

is who they were Amy get in so just been a thousand

and they pointed out some other stuff too that was I asked the pressed on this Allah -

she's like okay will doesn't this seem a little bit out of reach for some of the insane am to spend

this much Chromebook because it's not going to do as much stuff as I watch and

that kind of comes back to this whole idea that now that there's a platform there are going to be more desktop

applications that are coming along and yeah they couldn't comment on it and they couldn't say specifically what was

going on but it's clear in the writing is very much on the wall that that's the direction is going and this device kind

of as a halo device basically becomes the one that people get it may honestly

be kind of as a status symbol they pointed that out they've done damn research and seeing kids that have

whatever device it is when they go and they they graduate and go to college and they're gonna go buy their first device

they're taking somewhere they want to buy something that works for them but it also is like

I want to show the beads up here yeah he's status soon I don't want it to look like a toilet and so this they've realized that

there's there's a massive section of the market that's there for most rapidly growing portion of the laptop market

general is that at thousand dollar-plus device it's just where the market is and

there they want the piece of it going after that use - and as functionality kind of meets up with it and I think

it'll happen quicker now because of this device things change in that space pretty rapidly

I know what takes about Gus No a year ago if you walk down the street said hey you're gonna get a Google home

most people look at you know what what does that mean find loads at Walmart I

mean they're everywhere people know whether they're buying rods they know

what I think this device the halo device is gonna kind of have that effect whether

you buy it or not

yeah so you know speaking of about people getting this product when do we expect to start seeing this you know

what what's you pre-order this thing where can you get yeah Google did say

available on October 31st three orders are up for both so you can get

Intel Core i5 with 128 gigs of storage 8 gigs of RAM or 8 gigs of RAM a 256

vehicle storage pre-order at the Google store store

already we have a weekend in the check that out they did not give a tax

on the four i7 available

and there's been some people asking about the pin on the side already and Twitter where do you put it

because it's not like the pros that's not stowable they apparently have

already started marketing and coming soon sleeves

that's it

intentions of stowing it ten millimeter big device yeah a little bit it's the thinnest weight

yeahjust relativity yeah yeah that was that was where I was fiery - yeah what's up so yeah I mean

that's that's it I mean the most part guys today we just wanted to give you all a little recap of the event and

obviously talk about what we came here for which was the pixel book we're really excited about this device and

we're excited for what it means for further lessons so we hope that you all continue to support subscribe to our

youtube channel subscribe to the to the website and just follow along with this

and so you know for everyone that's tuned in we've got a we've got a quite a few viewers right now which is great you

know we're really excited about this I mean we're out here in Google and we just went to an awesome Google event we

kind of had to remind ourselves all day like we're just as excited about all of this is everybody you know that's here

you know so so we want we want to share a little bit that love so we're gonna be doing a giveaway we're gonna do a

giveaway for a chromecast all you have to do is share this video

hashtag made by Google everyone that does that will be entered to win will pick a winner let's say this time next

week this time next week alright we really have all the details here absolutely alright so we'll do that

we'll do a giveaway just to share a little bit of that love and the excitement we have for this and we hope

you guys hear that Robbie anything else

I think there's obviously obviously before we're going to be talking about pizza book

hopefully when we're talking about when it could be available the end of October sure pre-orders and stuff are available

but we're hoping to be able get our hands on one not really sure what will or won't be

covered up although my guess would be none of that stuff woods it's kind of in Vail fully so the minute we get our

hands on it obviously we're gonna be unboxing that guy and giving you some real-world testing we're gonna do a lot of

different stuff with this one because again we're we're putting all this effort behind it because this is this is

a kind of monumental device and a life from OS and a life probably of our

website in general which we realized this gofyn a ranger that's gonna follow this device
