Chromebooks built on the Hatch baseboard will sport the full range of powerful 10th-gen Intel Comet Lake processors with up to 16 GB of memory, based on recent Geekbench test results.
Browsing: Core i7
Two weeks of using the Pixelbook Go shed more light on just who this Chromebook is, and isn’t for. Keep in mind: It’s not a budget Chromebook. Pixelbook Go is a budget Pixelbook.
If your only major knock against the Google Pixel Slate was the high price, you just ran out of excuses to buy one. You can get $250 off all three Pixel Slate models and get an included Pixel Slate Keyboard worth $199.
The reported Pixelbook Go specs and design have leaked, leaving me with serious questions about Google’s strategy here. This is why I said back in June it may not be worth waiting for the next Pixelbook.
Dell is now showing the price and configurations for its 5300 and 5400 Latitude Chromebook enterprise devices with a wide range of options. Luckily, IT budgets are bigger than those of consumers.
Right on time to coincide with the Intel Comet Lake launch, the Drallion baseboard for future Chromebooks now references Intel’s new processors.
Looks like there’s another Chromebook option for developers: A Core i7 and 16 GB memory configuration of the Lenovo Yoga Chromebook C630 with 4K display.
Recent Geekbench listings suggest the next Pixelbook, likely Atlas, will use the same chipsets as the Pixel Slate. That doesn’t make sense for a few reasons.
Most people don’t need a super high-end Chromebook but if you do, there’s a new choice to consider: The Acer Chromebook Spin 13 can be had with a Core i7 U-series chip and 16 GB of RAM.
With Google not considering Intel’s newest processors for Chromebooks yet, the next Pixelbook, aka: Atlas, won’t likely offer more, if any, performance than from currently available high-end devices. So why wait?
In a move that probably should have happened before the product launch, Google has removed the Celeron-powered Pixel Slate from its store. A $200 discount on the higher-end models combined with Chrome OS updates make the remaining options more attractive.
