    Save big on a refurbished Google Pixelbook Core i5: $599.99 while they last

    The Pixelbook Go hasn’t enamoured many potential buyers who feel that even though the newest Google Chromebook is less expensive, it cuts a few key features. That steers some back to the older Google Pixelbook, which still retails for $999. If you don’t mind a refurbished unit from Best Buy though, you can nab a Pixelbook for $599.99.

    This is the base model, so you get the 7th-gen Intel Core i5 Y-Series processor, 8 GB of memory, 128 GB of storage and 360-degree hinge for the 2400 x 1600, pen-capable, 12.3-inch touchscreen.

    Here’s the full rundown on all of the specifications:

    CPUIntel Core i5-7Y57 Processor
    GPUIntel integrated graphics
    Display12.3-inch, 3:2 2400×1600 touchscreen,
    Pixelbook Pen support
    Memory8 GB
    Storage128 GB eMMC
    ConnectivityDual band 802.11ac Wi-Fi
    Bluetooth 4.2
    InputBacklit keyboard, multitouch trackpad
    720p webcam
    Ports2 USB Type-C, combination
    microphone / headphone jack
    Battery41 WHr, claimed run-time
    of 10 hours
    Weight2.45 pounds
    SoftwareChrome OS automatic update
    expiration date: June 2024

    I have no idea how many units Best Buy has and you can’t find them in store. If you order one today, however, you should have it by Wednesday.

    I’ve purchased refurbished laptops from Best Buy in the past and have been satisfied with all of them. You can always return the unit within two weeks if you’re not happy and you do get at least a 90-day warranty. Keep in mind that you’ll get automatic Chrome OS software updates through June 2024, or nearly 4.5 years, which is nearly half that of all new Chromebooks these days.

      The m3 go is an upgrade over this. I have the i5 pixelbook and the m3 pixel slate. My slate performs better.

        Some people need an active stylus and 2-in-1 viewing modes. This rules out several devices, such as the Go.
