The laptop is here with a starting price of 999$ and it is the most expensive Chromebook so far. If in the past the Chromebooks were popular for their affordability, Google has decided to change the name and design and make the device 2 in 1.
Google Pixelbook2 will work as both a notebook and a tablet. The device will have premium quality in terms of the materials used and the style will be similar to the Pixel smartphones (glass panel in the back).
The 2-in1 device also has a Pixelbook Pen used for drawing, writing and with a special button on the side. If users press the button and hold on to this and circling something on the screen, they will be able to find a result with Google Assistant. The option is available for when users do not know a word and want to find out its meaning.
