As parents of a home-schooled teen that is taking college classes we are always looking for the best way to help our son to keep up with his classes and be connected at all times. Back in my time I did research at the library. Now days my teen does research in his laptop. So having a laptop with new features is very important. 

​Meet Pixelbook — the new high performance Chromebook — and Pixelbook Pen1  — the smart, responsive stylus — designed to enhance the way you work and play

Google Pixelbook is the first laptop with the Google Assistant built in, so you’ll be able to get more done faster and smarter. Here are some of the cool new features with the upgrade:

• Ultra-thin design: At just 10.3mm, Pixelbook is Google’s thinnest laptop ever, with a lightweight aluminum construction that enhances portability.
• Versatile and effortlessly adapts to your lifestyle: The 360° touchscreen and versatile 4-in-1 design will seamlessly adjust to whatever you’re doing, too. You can sketch or edit photos, stay productive with GSuite apps that Drive automatically backs up to your devices, and enjoy on-or-offline access to movies and TV shows with apps like Google Play Movies and YouTube Red.
• Powered by Chrome OS: It’s easily accessible via the dedicated Google Assistant key on the keyboard, or by using the “Ok Google” wake word you’re already familiar with. You can even access it with Pixelbook Pen1 : simply press and hold the button, then tap the pen on Pixelbook’s screen to get help from your Assistant.
• Latest security and software features available: With Chrome OS, you’ll always have the latest security and features with software that automatically updates in the background. Pixelbook’s ready to go when you are, too: it starts up in under ten seconds, stays fast, and has a fast-charging, all-day battery that gives you up to ten hours of go from a single charge
• Apps for work and play: Do more of what you love with apps including Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Gmail, Photos and more. You can always download your favorites from YouTube Red and Google Play Movies to enjoy even without Wi-Fi.​

We are so happy we found this laptop. Since we travel a lot, this is perfect for his school work without having to carry bulky devices. Although the Pixelbook Pen is sold separate you probably want to get one too.
