Gle Pixelbook 12in Review

Read Time:7 Minute, 51 Second

Google Pixelbook is the first smartphone with a large display that also comes equipped with a laptop-like keyboard and a touch-sensitive display. It’s a great combination, and it’s also a smartphone. It’s fast, responsive, and has a lot of great features. The camera on Google’s latest offering is also pretty impressive. It has a 12.3-inch display, which makes it perfect for traditional photo taking or video surveillance. It’s also got a touch-sensitive display, which makes it great for rapid voice and touches typing. The only problem is, that Google’s new crop of Gle Pixelbook 12in is starting to look pretty pricey. (Read: $1,000). Fortunately, we’ve got some deals for you! Read on for more information, and keep reading for our test photos.

What is the Pixelbook?

First and foremost, the Pixelbook is a laptop. It’s not a smartphone, in the sense that it doesn’t have a separate internal battery or any means of charging. It’s simply called a laptop. But the idea is still the same: a large, beautiful display, a touch-sensitive screen, and a built-in camera. If you want more, there are multiple models that come with a dedicated camera.

The Pixelbook has a lot of design similarities to other high-end laptop models, but it also comes with some design differences that affect the price. For example, the 15-inch model has a glass screen, while the 12-inch model comes with a sapphire screen.

Gle Pixelbook 12in: Design

The most obvious design difference between the two is the screen. The Pixelbook comes with a 16:9W large-screen display, while the 12-inch model is equipped with an 18:10W display. However, the Pixelbook has a better keyboard, and it has a unique design with a protruding keyboard that looks a little different from all the other models.

The Pixelbook’s display is also a little thicker at 5.62mm versus 5.26mm for the 12-inch model, but that’s a difference of about a millimeter.

Gle Pixelbook 12in: Performance

The only real difference between the two models is the type of processor (i.e., the processor inside the Pixelbook is faster) and the RAM (though the total amount of ram on the Pixelbook is significantly less).

The speed of the processor is reflected in the speed of the animations on the screen. The Pixelbook has a higher-res display than the 12-inch model, so there’s more granularity in the visuals on the screen.

The Pixelbook’s display is also a little thicker at 5.62mm versus 5.26mm for the 12-inch model, but that’s a difference of about a millimeter.

The Pixelbook’s battery life is also longer than the 12-inch model, of course, but it’s also a good sign that you’ll get longer battery life from the Pixelbook.

Gle Pixelbook 12in: Software and features

The biggest thing to keep in mind when choosing the perfect Google Pixelbook is how your computer works. If you plan on doing a lot of graphics-intensive tasks such as gaming or photo-editing, you’ll want to look at different options.

Here are some of the different features you should look at when considering which model to buy:

CPU:
The faster the processor, the more stable the computer.

Camera:
The camera helps you take great photos and videos
USB:
The included micro-USB charging cable is ideal for long-term storage and charging activities
Conclusion:
After all this, you’ll have a great smartphone that is perfect for any occasion.

Gle Pixelbook 12in: Screen & speakers

The screen on the Pixelbook is a piece of art. It looks like a painting, and it’s a beautiful piece of art. The screen on the 12-inch model is 18:9 WQHD (wide color range), while the 18:10 WQHD (wide color range) is the standard on higher-end laptops.

The Pixelbook has an LED backlight that lets the screen light up and illuminates the room for you, and it’s a handy feature for when you’re looking for nighttime visuals.

The display has a max brightness of 3000cd/m2 and a max saves brightness of 50 cd/m2. That’s plenty of brightness to see through walls and trees for night vision.

You can select between a 30-degree or a 50-degree wide-angle camera view.
You can view videos and photos on the display via Google Photos.
And also use the built-in camera to take pictures and videos.

Google Pixelbook 12in: Security

The security of a laptop is something that many people worry about, but not all. The Pixelbook has a built-in screen protector, but it’s only legal if you’re in the U.S. You can let your computer run while you sleep, but it has to be restarted when you get home, so there’s that issue. It’s actually a pretty good idea to put an eye on security because all this encryption stuff is pretty darn sensitive. We suggest putting up a low-key passphrase system on your computer and making sure that your passwords are all different and easy to remember. You can even use the same password on your phone, so you don’t have to spend time looking in two different places.

Cameras

Cameras are always a great way to distinguish your phone from other devices in your house. Look for a light, bright field to throw into the photo, and darker background to give it a more professional look. For example, in the photo below, you can see that the Pixelbook has a high-quality, night-vision camera. If you’re in an area that has strong lights, try to avoid using it in low light, as it could turn your photo into a really poor one.

Charging Speed

This is a biggie, but one that we’ve addressed before. We love how fast the Google Pixelbook charges, and it even gives you a fast charge indicator so you know when it’s ready to go. That being said, we still recommend that you use a faster charger if you go this route. You’ll be fine, but it might be wise to go with the cable that comes with the device when you get it.

Latest Updates

We’re not usually a big fan of new updates, but the latest version of Google’s software is actually pretty exciting. It’s got a great new feature called Pixelbook Pro, which gives you a ton more storage space on your phone and is only available for $999. We love that it gives you the ability to use Google Photos, which is what we use on our computers, on the phone. It also comes with a ton of great other features such as built-in voice control and a camera that shoots video.

Price & availability

You’re probably going to pay a pretty penny for this phone, and you might even have to buy it from somewhere. We’re not surprised that it’s pricey. It’s definitely not cheap, and it’s not cheap at all. It’s a high-quality device with excellent specs, and it’s definitely worth every penny. You are going to need to save up for this phone, though. It’s one of the most expensive Android devices on our list, and we highly recommend that you shop around to get the best price.

Pros & Cons

We’ve already mentioned how much we love this new phone, and we’re not just talking about the design. It’s also got a great camera and a great new features list, which we’ll get into below. But let’s not forget about the price. The most notable downside to this phone is that it’s really expensive. It costs about $1,000 for the full phone and $500 for the data plan. That’s way, way too much for a phone that you’re only going to use a little bit.

Photo editing features

This is what we always love about the Google Pixelbook, and it’s one of the many great new features that we love about the phone. You can add easily toner and black and white photo editing apps to the phone, making them look a lot more professional. We usually use Instagram photos, but you can easily add your own apps to the phone, making them look just as good in real-time as they did in the photoshoot.

Verdict

If you’re looking for a large screen, beautiful design, and fast performance, Google’s new device is for you. The Google Pixelbook is one of the best things to ever happen to software-based computers. If you’re looking for a laptop with a touch-sensitive screen and a big display, you can easily pick up the Pixelbook as a replacement. It just might be your best purchase ever.
