Originally designed as simpler and cheaper alternatives to some of the best laptops, Chromebooks have now evolved into versatile all-purpose machines. The Google Pixelbook is a great testament to that, offering a set of powerful features geared for everyday full-on productivity and multimedia consumption. It will normally set you back a whopping $1,649, but with Amazon’s 16% discount, you can have it at a less expensive price of $1,385. This deal exclusively applies to the Intel Core i7 variant with 16GB RAM and 512GB internal storage.

The Pixelbook is a premium Chromebook developed by Google. It comes with a durable 360-degree hinge that allows you to use it in a variety of ways. There’s the laptop mode for extensive typing and other productive work, the tablet mode for intuitive interaction, the tent mode for creative stuff like sketching and doodling, and the entertainment mode for video and movie watching — it can adapt to whatever you’re using it for.

Powered by a seventh-generation Intel Core i7 processor paired with 16GB of RAM, this Chromebook can handle multitasking and demanding browsing activities with no sweat. It zips through tasks even with multiple tabs open and can run mobile and 3D games fluidly. Even the Chrome OS does little to challenge the processor. And with an internal storage of 512GB, it can accommodate your growing collection of apps, videos, music, and other files.

For visuals, Google gave the Pixelbook a 12.3-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 2,400 x 1,600. This resolution works out to a spectacular 235 pixels per inch which surpasses the MacBook’s Retina display. Picture quality is delightful, offering vibrant colors, respectable black levels, and sufficient brightness. Matching this screen are two speakers capable of delivering loud and clear audio that can fill a small room. There are also built-in crisp microphones and a 720p webcam, making this laptop a good choice for video conferences.

The Google Pixelbook provides enough power to last you through a full workday. It has a runtime of up to 10 hours and can extend further depending on usage. With support for fast charging, it can juice up from 0 to 100 in just over two hours.

With stellar performance and extreme versatility under its belt, it should come as no surprise that the Google Pixelbook comes with a hefty price tag. Score it for less than usual by taking advantage of Amazon $264 discount.

The best note-taking apps for iOS and Android
I tested these apps for months so your notes never have to switch homes again.

Choosing a note-taking app is not easy. What note-taking app you choose depends on your needs, the platform you use, and of course, the cost. The process becomes even more complicated as it seems that there’s a new shiny app released every other week. 

That’s why I always suggest choosing a note-taking app that has all the features you need and can last you for a long time. Also, don’t chase new apps. The real power of a note-taking app comes when all your notes live in one place, making it easy to spot connections between them.

WhatsApp app store listing open on iPhone

There's no shortage of messaging apps out there. The past decade has given us more options than we know what to do with, largely because smartphones demanded something better than plain old SMS.

Both the App Store and the Play Store are packed with apps that promise to revolutionize the way we communicate. Most of them didn't make it. The truth is, a messaging app is only as good as the number of people using it, and most apps never cross that threshold.

Nintendo Switch 2 Questions with Giovanni Colantonio
A couple of weeks ago, we posted our first hands-on impressions of the Nintendo Switch 2. I got to attend the first-ever hands-on event for the console, played about 11 games, and now I’m here to answer your biggest questions.

Question from @kennethcheung4938: We haven’t seen much of the new OS yet—is it similar to the original Switch OS, or is it a full overhaul? If it’s the latter, will we still be able to play games from outside our native region? For example, if I have a U.S. Switch, can I buy physical game cartridges in Japan and still play them in English?
