In a video, Google showed off the black version with what looks like a quieter keyboard as well as a ribbed bottom plate that appears to make the laptop easier to grip. The video also claims that the Pixelbook Go has up to 12 hours of battery, and, in a blog post, Google said that charging the laptop for just 20 minutes will give it two hours of battery life.
In a slide shared onstage at today’s event, Google said that the Pixelbook Go will be available with Intel Core m3, i5, or i7 processors, 8GB or 16GB of RAM, and 64GB, 128GB, or 256GB of SSD storage.
