You would think that just about any device, particularly one with a SSD and a metal casing, could withstand slipping off a chair onto carpet. Nope, not this one. Screen cracked, mouse stopped working, and screen began flickering. All as a result of about a 2' drop (off my lap while sitting in the recliner) onto carpet. It was about a week old when this happened. Google won't cover this under warranty. I contacted them. Clearly no one is allowed to drop their Pixelbook Go AT ALL. EVER. So, if you 100% know you will NEVER drop this, then most certainly spend the $1k for it. If you're like 99.9% of humanity, that's not likely. Move along. Nothing worth seeing here.
