Google has officially announced the Pixelbook Go, just days after a massive leak made its way to the internet. The Pixelbook Go is the latest in a long line of Chrome OS devices from Google, and one that is aimed at hitting a cheaper price point to make it more appealing to a broader range of people.

As we were all expecting, the Pixelbook Go is a 13.3-inch class laptop available with a 1080p panel or an optional 4K “Molecular Display”. We should also mention that unlike previous Pixelbook devices, the Pixelbook Go has forgone the 3:2 aspect ratio in favor of a 16:9 ratio.

The design of the laptop is rather organic, with rounded corners. However, the most striking feature of the Pixelbook Go is its washboard-like bottom that Google says is easier to grip. Speaking of the design, the device is available in two colors: Just Pink and Not Pink.

Inside, Google has boosted battery life to allow the Pixelbook Go to last 12 hours per charge. Google has also implemented a fast-charging system that can give you two hours of battery life with just a 20-minute charge. You'll have your choice of Intel Core m3, Core i5, or Core i7 processors paired with either 8GB or 16GB of RAM.
