    Debating between the Pixelbook and Surface Pro (2017)

    I went all in and bought the i7 16/512 Pixelbook. Advantages: Objecively, it is one of the best designed and looking laptops out there. In my subjective opinion, it is the best. Speed: open lid, use. Tablet mode: swing lid around, use. Keyboard: the best. Trackpad: the best. Chrome OS: fast...

    So who's going for it?

    I had the Bold 9900 and the Porsche. I used the P as my work phone and I could get a ton of work done with that thing. Then a Z30 (also one as a spare, still not used). The move to drop WhatsApp finally drove me to a Galaxy S7E (via a Note 7!). I have grown to love the variety available in the...

    What sleeve are you using!

    This is the only one from this manufacturer listed by Amazon when you look up 'Pixelbook'. Green is the only colour as well. I'll try and put up some pictures when I get home.

    Battery life

    No problems here. I am very impressed with my battery life. one thought: how is your reception? If your PB is often hunting for a signal that will impact battery life.

    What Keyboard is best?

    I used to use SwiftKey but it became untrustworthy. Its predictions are now so gnomic that you have to look at it all the time to correct the mistakes. This really slow you down and thus defeats the whole purpose of swiping. Gboard, however, is rock-solid. I love that most punctuation is just a...

    What sleeve are you using!

    Sorry, in my post above I went slightly mad. The excellent leather sleeve I bought with my Pixelbook is made by Capra. I got right the fact that it's hand-made in Colombia.

    What sleeve are you using!

    I ordered my Pixelbook i7 from Amazon so I ordered a leather sleeve at the same time. it is a classy dark green with an unsecured flap. There is a pocket for the pen on the outside. It is made by Cortana in Colombia. Stellar quality and it fits the Pixelbook perfectly.
