Google Pixelbook (i5, 8 GB RAM, 128GB)

Received the product well. Had to communicate since i had a lot of questions. All were answered promptly and to the point. Would recommend the seller happily!

このPCはご存知のようにChromebookですから、WindowsやMacのようには使えません。 Andoroid版のアプリが使用できるので、かなりできることは増えましたが、 それでも不自由を感じることが多々あります。 例えば仕事でPowerPoint（Android版を使用可能）を使ってプレゼンしようとしたとき、 通常のPC版のパワポと違い、動画を貼り付けることができませんでした。 仕方がないのでGoogleスライドでプレゼンを作成し直し、 動画はYouTubeにアップし、そのリンクをGoogleスライドに貼り付けるという、 とても面倒くさい方法を取らざるを得ませんでした。 またChromebookは基本的に本体ストレージにファイルを保存することを想定しておらず クラウド保存が基本なので、ファイル操作なども実に不便です。 iPad pro 10.5も所有していますが、はっきり言って使い勝手はiPad pro 10.5の圧勝です。 しかしこのPCの魅力はそんなことでは失われません。 ガジェット好きなら間違いなく買って後悔することはないはずです。 どのよに使うか？自分なりの使い方を考えるのを楽しむためのPCです。 Linuxに正式対応も決まっていますし、Windowsとのデュアルブートにも対応するとの噂もあります。 今後ますますこのPCの価値が上がるのではと期待しています。

I have owned a Pixelbook (base model) for 45 days now (having owned a Chromebook Pro, my first-ever ChromeOs product, for 30 days prior) and after reading countless professional and owner reviews I wanted to write one captures the essence of the Pixelbook and what makes it so attractive and why it is worth its price to many who would cross-shop it with Windows and Mac alternatives. I will try to explain why this is the best laptop/convertible currently sold for those with the budget to spend $1,000 give/take for a laptop and, importantly, for those who have been able to determine either that ChromeOs (including Android App access) will meet their needs and/or that they own a Windows or Mac device that will provide the capability needed for use cases that the Pixelbook/ChromeOs presently do not support. I'm about to go down the path of paraphrasing what another Amazon reviewer, Dave Levy, already stated more succinctly than I will, but the purpose of my comment is to add depth to Mr. Levy's review for those who found his words persuasive but may still feel some hard-do-describe level of skittishness to "pull the trigger" on a Pixelbook. In no particular order: 1) The Pixelbook ("PB") is absolutely on-par with or well above it's competitors in the premium laptop/convertible market with Mac Os or Windows 10 from the standpoint of user experience. 2) The PB is best-in-class (again, the highest end of the laptop/convertible market segment) - or tied for best - in these areas of hardware look, feel and response: a) keyboard; b) trackpad; c) display; d) stylus (with both the Google branded version or several other "Wacom AES" alternatives I've tested); e) connectivity (both wifi and bluetooth [4.2]. 3) The PB is below class-leading, but still fully acceptable, in the following areas: a) audio quality (acceptable for most laptop use cases, but fair to say headphones or auxiliary speakers are needed for high quality/room-filling sound); b) keyboard backlight (fine for dark ambient light environment but weak for "dusk" type ambient lighting, when some assistance is helpful but the backlighting is not as bright or complete as preferable and as provided by some of its peers, including some lower priced devices; Google should improve this through software update or next hardware update cycle, but it's very far from a deal-breaker); c) user authentification (in 2018, a premium device should have easy, fast biometric authentification as an option and the PB does not; this is a must-fix for first hardware update cycle.) Other than items noted in 3), above, there is no aspect of the user experience in which the PB can't be described as the finest laptop/convertible user experience available today - or ever produced - in this size and price class. 4) It is in no way accurate or fair to call the base model "overpriced 'for a Chromebook'" or "overpriced" in any way. This device is so beautifully designed (though this is a matter of taste) and so brilliantly executed that, IMO, it is the finest piece of electronic device kit I have ever had the pleasure behold and use. It's really that gorgeous, that perfectly made, that smooth and fast to respond - in the ways that a fine luxury good (in addition to computers, smartphones and tablets, automobiles come to mind in comparison - might stand out as being. It makes me smile. I look forward to whatever task I approach when I realize I'm about to use my Pixelbook to get it done! I guess you have to be a person who really notices and cares about design and quality for this to matter to you. Nothing wrong with someone who doesn't - in fact, you will save yourself many hundreds of dollars by purchasing either a Chromebook Pro or Asus Flip CS-302 if you want a good, strong, well-made Chromebook and just don't care so much about the finer points of design, engineering and craftsmanship because those alternatives have all the ChromeOs goodness and same features as the PB though they may lack only at the margins some of the storage (though the other 2 have micros SD card support while the PB does not) speed, thermal control, keyboard/trackpad quality and overall excellence of the PB (and, in the case of the Asus, active stylus support.) This is clearly a luxury purchase. And, in fact, I've spent 45 days now - last day of return window: tomorrow! - equivocating over whether I can justify to myself indulging in this luxury. (My decision is a little easier because I got my PB when Amazon had a pre-Christmas deal for $800 and Google had promotions, including a $62 credit against my Netflix bill, $40 worth of free Google Drive subscription fees - that I have been and would've continued paying - and a $50 credit to my Google Store account - for apps or devices - as a concession because Amazon didn't offer the Google Home device and Google was throwing in a free Home speaker if you bought it from Google. Thus my true cost for the PB was effectively $710, a price point many have noted they would feel more comfortable paying. Just between you and me, I would still be buying it if my cost was $999 ;) If you can afford it and you want a very high end device and you've determined a Chromebook has an important place in your device arsenal, you couldn't find a more certain way to spend $400 extra and be certain it would bring you so much enjoyment. I suggest you buy it from a vendor who provides preferably 30 day trial with full refund option. Again, presuming you had already concluded you want/need a chromebook and it must have what for chromebooks are the higher end spes, I imagine you may go through the same process as I have and, what you decide as your return window closes will inform you as to how much you truly adore the design/execution of this product and whether you can justify the $400 luxury indulgence. My guess is that you will make the same decision as I did, even at the full retail price of $999!

Tiene un gran funcionamiento respecto a velocidad de procesamiento, batería, nitidez de la pantalla, bocinas y calidad de los materiales. Considero que las Chromebooks aún no reemplazan por completo a una laptop con windows (por ejemplo) ya que la mayoría de los programas están limitados en herramientas/funciones. Como equipo que esté en un nivel de portabilidad de una tablet y hardware (además de algunas funciones) de PC, es lo mejor que puedes comprar, pero es clave que delimites para qué la requieres.

J'ai reçu mon Google Pixelbook aujourd'hui et jusqu'à maintenant, l'expérience est exceptionnelle. La prise en main de l'appareil à été superbe, l'appareil est vraiment fait de matériaux premium. Cet ordinateur est extrêmement bien conçu, et semble très solide. Il est très léger également. À 1re vue le système d'opération Chrome OS semble très simple et facile d'utilisation. Cela convient très bien à mon utilisation de bureautique où j'utilise Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides, ainsi que d'autres produits de ce genre tout au long de ma journée. L'intégration avec Google Play des applications android est très intéressante. Ceci dit, certaines applications vont planter dès leur lancement. Si vous avez les applications cruciales pour votre travail quotidien qui soient des applications android, je pense qu'il ne vaudrait mieux ne pas compter sur leur intégration avec le Google pixelbook pour le moment. Il faut dire que la majorité des applications qui sont reliés à mon entreprise sont basé sur des sites web : Quickbooks Online, Asana, suite Google, etc. Je crois donc que cet appareil est très pertinent pour les personnes qui ont ce genre d'utilisation 90 % du temps. si la majorité de votre travail se fait avec des programmes qui doivent être installé sur Mac ou Windows, je ne crois pas que cet ordinateur si vous sera très utile. Par contre, si la majorité de votre journée est de répondre à des courriels, faire des chiffriers, prendre des notes, faire des rencontres ainsi que des comptes rendus ou encore des présentations, ce Chromebook a beaucoup d'avantages : facile à transporter, vraiment très sexy et agréable à interagir avec. Le clavier est excellent par ailleurs. J'ai d'ailleurs rédigé ce commentaire avec une extension qui permet la reconnaissance vocale sur à peu près n'importe quel élément dans Google Chrome : "Reconnaissance de la parole". C'est très intéressant de voir à quel point les produits Google sont capables d'intégrer intelligence artificielle, la reconnaissance vocale virgule le stockage de données et surtout virgule un pouvoir de recherche aimant puissant dans vos données. Je recommande cet ordinateur chaudement pour les gens qui passent à 90 % de leur temps sur internet. Cet ordinateur ne vous décevra pas.

みなさんご存知の通り、Windowsとは異なる使用感なので、使用用途によっては本当に要らないものであると思います。 ただ、私は使用用途を明確にしていましたので、とても活用しています。 また、見た目の高級感は他のChrome bookとは全く異なり、持ち運びがとても嬉しくなるような製品です。 ベゼルが太いのが少し不満ですが、総合して満足のいくものでした。 なお、キーボードも打ちやすく、文章作成も容易にできることも満足した一因となっています。 同じ方向性で新しいモデルが出ることを期待しています。
