The Pixelbook is one of the few Chromebooks that supports the Google Play Store, which means you can finally get premium apps on your laptop. Performance-wise, the Pixelbook is one of the few Chromebooks that actually stands up to its Windows and iOS-based counterparts. It scored a 7,927 on Geekbench 4’s overall performance test, which beats the 6,823 ultraportable average. In real world tests, the 2.4-lb. laptop successfully balanced a 1080p YouTube video, a dozen open browser tabs, Slack, Twitter, and Outlook simultaneously without so much as a stutter. Its battery, however, tops out after 7 hours and 43 minutes, which is shorter than the 8:34 category average. So you’ll need to pack the laptop’s charger for those times you’re on the road. If you prefer more storage, the 256GB SSD Pixelbook (opens in new tab) is also on sale at $1,099, whereas the 512GB SSD Pixebook (opens in new tab) is priced at $1,549. Both are $100 off their normal price.
