Everything else has been a stellar experience. What I don't like: Honestly, I am just waiting on GPU acceleration and audio support to come to Crostini. Finally, The Pixelbook is very light and easy to take with me, plus ChromeOS is pretty secure so getting a virus is not a huge worry right now. For example, my phone has the ability to unlock my Pixelbook, and I think my Google Pixel Buds can unlock my phone. I love that it works well with my other Google products such as my Pixel XL 2. I wasn't sure how often I would use this, but as a full time student and worker it's really nice to be able to lay in bed and read my course content. I really love that my laptop can fold up and become a tablet. What I love about my hardware: I love that I can run ChromeOS, Linux and Android applications all three at the same time in harmony. I use it to draw up ideas for designs I am working on or I'll open a drawing app and use it as a whiteboard replacement.

I also use the Google Pixelbook Pen a lot.

If I need more privacy I will use the Google Pixel Buds.
