Using my S6 + bookcover + bookcover keyboard more than ever. There's so much it can do that I'm still discovering little things even 10 months later. It is so superior to my (former) iPad Pro that my iPad Pro toting colleagues are bit envious. One thing that I finally resolved was how to get...

Not only that, but it seems like you can only drag icons from the "lower" screens to the "upper" but not the other way around. After performing a powerwash, The 2nd screen of icons had only 3 icons and I wanted to move them down to a lower screen. Couldn't do it. I had to drag icons from the...

The suitability of a Pixelbook for use in the Real Estate field is highly dependent on the software and services you'll use in that capacity. Chrome OS isn't particularly suited well for "vertical market" apps (software that is specialized for specific lines of business). That means that if...

It's actually not bad. It is a simple setting in the Chrome OS Settings. Then there are a handful of console commands to install the Gnome Software Center and things like LibreOffice. My frustration is that it was working quite well in Chrome OS 70, and now it isn't. This is very...

Support for running Linux apps within ChromeOS is done via an optional "container". By default, ChromeOS does not set up that Linux container. Linux apps don't run on the same thin Linux that is used as the basis for Chrome OS. It is this Linux container where things like the Gnome Software...

Chrome OS 70 brought a major step forward for 2-in-1 chromebooks like Pixelbook. But since that initial release (and including the latest beta versions of 73) stability has taken a significant step backward in my experience. (I have tested things under the 73 beta but went back to 72 stable)...

One thing to make of it is that the PixelBook will continue to be Google's flagship chromebook for quite some time. Another thing to make of it is the possibility of 2-in-1 Chrome OS devices fading into the background to make way for the traditional clamshell design to come back to...

I read that article too. My conclusion: Windows 10 Lite, like Windows RT and Windows 10S will be DOA. Why? Because Microsoft will not do what is required to make a truly lightweight and nimble version of Windows. At the very least, they need to gut out the Enterprise-level subsystems that...

Wow. I must have bought one of the last ones. I bought mine new. Just goes to show how rare they are for the Pixelbook. :(

I'm really diggin' my Pixelbook. I'm delighted in the way that (except for Pen input) it has replaced by my 12.9 iPad Pro and 11" Macbook Air. Even using it in tablet mode (especially post-Chrome OS 70) is pleasant. But. dat Pen! I'm interested to hear your experiences with the Pen once you...

One decision that Pixelbook owners need to make has to do with the Google Pen... should I, or shouldn't I (buy it)? On the one hand, it is designed specifically for the PB and the style is well-matched. The button on the Pen triggers Google Assistant to search for things that are circled...

I apologize in advance for bumping this thread, but I thought it would be helpful to keep all screen protector options in the same thread for convenience... Depending upon what type of protector you're looking for, there are very few options. I'm a big fan of matte screen protectors on...

Nice! I personally prefer felt sleeves and portfolios. I've never seen one without a flap/cover, but that is nice. Pencil loop is an added plus. (Google never did send me my loop)

Another pet-peeve of mine with Chrome OS 71.... There is no auto-arrange for the app tray (fullscreen mode) This results in blank icon places in the grid where an app was (that was automatically deleted...see my previous post) It looks odd and sometimes seems like I'm at the bottom of the list...

I've noticed that too. As Chrome OS expands to different form-factors: notebooks, tablets, desktops, 2-in-1s, AND people begin owning more than one Chrome OS device, I think that Google needs to consider how to handle different hardware profiles within the same Google account. For example: If...
