Lycée: It's not just about notebooks and paper bindings anymore. Laptops are also becoming essential school supplies for high school students. If you are a high school student (or buy one), Google Pixelbook Go is a versatile and affordable option that perfectly suits the needs of students. It weighs just over two pounds, so it won't add bulk to an already heavy backpack, and it has a massive 12-hour battery life that can last a full school day and more. It's not just a marketing copy - our tester found the battery to be as durable as expected, and was also deeply impressed with the portability of the Pixelbook Go.
The m3 processor is very fast for tasks and multimedia streaming, although it can be configured with an Intel Core i5 or i7 processor if you need additional power. We chose the configuration with 8 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage; This can also be upgraded to 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. For parents' peace of mind, the Pixelbook Go also has Chrome OS, which provides automatic security updates to keep your teen's device safe.
