It’s called the Pixelbook, and it starts at $999. The Pixelbook is meant to be a laptop-tablet hybrid. You can, for example, fold the keyboard underneath the laptop to use it as a tablet, though many Windows laptops have offered such capabilities for years. It’s also the first laptop to include the Google Assistant, Google’s voice-activated helper. Google says it created a $99 stylus for the notebook called the Pixelbook Pen, which can be used to make it easier to communicate with the Google Assistant. Circling a photo of a musical artist, for example, will pull up more information about that musician. The laptop will have a 12.3-inch screen that packs 235 pixels per inch. You’ll be able to purchase it in Core i5 and Core i7 options, and it’ll sustain a charge that provides two hours worth of usage after being plugged in for 15 minutes. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4966190/google-pixelbook-laptop-2017/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4966190/google-pixelbook-laptop-2017/"},"headline":"Here's Your First Look at Google's Stunning New Pixelbook Laptop","datePublished":"2017-10-04T17:03:26.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:51:27.959Z","description":"It includes the Google Assistant and stylus support","url":"https://time.com/4966190/google-pixelbook-laptop-2017/","keywords":["Tech","Google","Chromebooks","laptops"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2c5452a350febaaa/6988e092196cf43147042315/google-pixelbook.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Lisa Eadicicco","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/lisa-eadicicco/"}],"articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2c5452a350febaaa/6988e092196cf43147042315/google-pixelbook.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"google-pixelbook","caption":"","creditText":"Google","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-tech/","name":"Tech"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4966190/google-pixelbook-laptop-2017/","name":"Here's Your First Look at Google's Stunning New Pixelbook Laptop"}}]}] ```
