Should have named Pixel Book as there are already Pixel, Pixel Tablet, and Pixel Fold.
They should have just named it Abandonedbook to start and skipped a few steps
They already had one of those until 2022: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixelbook
The first one was really excellent (except for the os). 4:3 ratio screen, backlit keys when it was kind of rare still, solid aluminum body still light, cool charging indicator.
Might have gone somewhere but they decided to kill support for it, like, three years later. Three years for a $2,500.00 laptop is a big FY to the buyers.
Still, as a piece of hardware, pretty neat. But that was then. I think they were still not evil back then.
Yep - I have one. It isn't bad, though eventually I need to get it off chromeos and running a 'proper' system.
It does use passive cooling, so the cpu is basically on fire constantly. And having it shutdown isn't really shutdown, so every time I go to poke it, I need to recharge it to like 5% before it has enough juice to boot.
