Pixelbook Go specifications

It’s powered by 8th Gen Intel Core m3, i5, and i7 processors with up to 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB of SSD storage. There’s a 13.3-inch touchscreen display with a bigger battery that the company claims will provide a battery life of up to 12 hours. It also claims that you can get two hours of battery with just 20 minutes of charging.

The Pixelbook Go has a matte finish on the body and with its magnesium casing, the overall weight of the laptop is low. There’s also an upgraded keyboard on the laptop that Google calls it Hush Keys. For security, the Pixelbook Go incorporates the Titan C Security Chip just like the Pixel 4.
