Way back in the day I got myself a Chromebook and while I loved it for internet and doing little tasks online it seriously lacked the flexibility of other laptops and everything was done on the cloud. I honestly don't mind doing a majority of my stuff on the cloud but with my line of job I do need some software and programs to run that I can use for coding or just easily accessing my content. These are the major areas my Chromebook lacked in and why I ended up tucking it away.
Fast forwarding now to today Google is introducing a new laptop starting at $999 called the Pixelbook lets take a look at what this new machine has and can do.
