We purchased this Chromebook for our daughter who is off to college this fall. Since most of their homework is completed and stored online, it seemed like the obvious solution. She was also concerned about weight since she'll be carrying around a rather large campus. We purchased it a couple months early so she could get acclimated after she spent a little time sampling a Google Pixelbook. We expected the Pixelbook Go to be at least moderately less responsive than the Pixelbook, but we were wrong. This Pixelbook Go performs at par with the Pixelbook. Videos streamed over home wi-fi are stutter free and screen resolution is superb. Internet access to Google mail and drive are quick and responsive. Physically the Pixelbook Go seems built sturdy enough. She has been using it daily for two months and it has not appeared to have loosed up and doesn't show any outward signs of wear and tear. She has been at school for about a week and has mentioned that it is working well on campus. Long-term we hope it can stand up to the daily abuse that college handling will inflict on it, but by all appearances, it looks up to the task. One last note, the battery life in our particular unit is exactly as advertised, easily hitting the 10+ hour mark while intermittently streaming and surfing. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a sturdy, speedy, long battery life Chrome device.
