That’s $150 cheaper than the March sale and hands-down the best price we’ve seen for this laptop. At 2.5 pounds, the Pixelbook is lighter and thinner than many of its competitors. However, this ultraportable packs an impressive punch with a 12.3-inch 2400 x 1600-pixel touchscreen LCD, 1.2GHz Core i5-7Y57 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 128GB SSD. The Pixelbook’s display can produce 117 percent of the sRGB spectrum, which beats the 101-percent ultraportable average. The display emits tremendous brightness and the backlit keyboard enables comfortable typing for extended periods. In terms of performance, it scored a solid 7,927 on the Geekbench 4 overall performance test, which again beats the 6,823 ultraportable average. In real world tests, it was able to balance a 1080p YouTube video, a dozen open browser tabs, Slack, Twitter, and Outlook simultaneously without skipping a beat. Battery life, however, is a tad short at just 7 hours and 43 minutes on our battery test. Alternatively, if you’re a Prime Student member (opens in new tab), you can take an extra 10 percent off the base Pixelbook’s sale price and pay just $674. Best Buy has similar student discounts if you have a valid .edu e-mail address. Google’s Pixelbook sale end June 18 at 3am ET.
