Background and Identification

Google announced the Pixelbook at their 2017 Made by Google Event alongside the Pixel 2. The Pixelbook is Google's latest foray into laptops after the Chromebook Pixel. It features two USB-C ports, and runs on an Intel Core i5 or i7 processor. The Pixelbook is one of Google's thinnest laptops ever released.
