Pixelbook

The Pixelbook was a line of high-end Chromebook laptops designed, developed, and marketed by Google. Introduced in October 2017, the Pixelbook distinguished itself with its premium build quality, 360-degree hinge allowing it to be used as a tablet, and integration with the Google Assistant. It ran Chrome OS and supported Android applications via the Google Play Store. Key features included a high-resolution touchscreen display, a fast processor, and a lightweight design. The Pixelbook Pen, a separate stylus accessory, provided additional input options for drawing and note-taking.

The Pixelbook was positioned as a flagship Chromebook, targeting users seeking a premium laptop experience within the Chrome OS ecosystem. Google discontinued the Pixelbook line in September 2022, shifting its Chrome OS hardware focus to other form factors. Despite its discontinuation, the Pixelbook is often cited as an influential device in the history of Chromebooks, demonstrating the potential for premium hardware and features within the Chrome OS landscape.
