What’s New: Today in New York City, Google announced the newest member of the Pixelbook family: Google Pixelbook Go, powered by [Intel Core processors] (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/docs/processors/core/8th-gen-core-u-and-y-series-brief.html) for performance, connectivity and a full Chrome OS experience that boots in seconds and stays up-to-date on the go.

“The new Google Pixelbook Go was carefully crafted to bring flexibility to work, life and play on the go with powerful Intel Core processors delivering new levels of performance, responsiveness and battery life. Collaboration between Google and Intel engineers continues to bring great Chromebook experiences to market.” –Josh Newman, Intel vice president and general manager of Mobile Innovation in the Client Computing Group

Why It Matters: Engineers from Intel and Google leveraged consumer feedback to create a device that has an ultra-thin, lightweight design with up to 12 hours of battery life¹ . The result is an easy-to-use and responsive device, including:

• Intel Core processors for the performance power to load content-rich web pages quickly, edit photos, launch games and multitask across Google Play Store apps.
• Narrower bezels and a vibrant 13.3-inch Full HD touchscreen display with a 4K Ultra HD Molecular Display option create an immersive viewing experience.
• An ultra-portable design weighing about 2 pounds² and 13mm thin is perfect for an on-the-go lifestyle.
