Graduation is just around the corner and parents and family are already thinking about the perfect gift to award their hard-working high school graduate and soon-to-be college student. Since tech gifts are always at the top of anyone’s list and your student will certainly need a sparkling new laptop when entering college, here’s an excellent option—the Google Pixelbook.
Not only will your student love the laptop’s versatility, but Pixelbook is the first laptop with the Google Assistant built in. It’s easily accessible via the dedicated Google Assistant key on the keyboard, or by using the “Ok Google” wake word your student is already familiar with. He can even access it using the Pixelbook Pen. Google Assistant will be extremely helpful with research and studying while in college.
What will your student like?
First of all, your student will love the sleek design of this high performance Chromebook. At just 10.3mm, Pixelbook is Google’s thinnest laptop ever. The lightweight design makes it easily portable, which is extremely appealing to students who will be carrying it from classroom to classroom.
In addition to its lightweight design, its versatility will be appealing to any student. The 360 degree touchscreen will adjust to whatever he is doing either in or out of class. He can sketch or edit photos with the Pixelbook Pen, take notes in class, and stay productive with GSuite apps like Google Docs, Google Drive, and Gmail. During his downtime, he can enjoy on or offline access to movies and TV shows using apps like Google Play Movies and YouTube Red.
Every student values speed and dependability when it comes to a laptop. Pixelbook’s ready to go at a moment’s notice. It starts up in under ten seconds, stays fast, and has a fast-charging, all-day battery that gives your student up to ten hours of usage from a single charge.
What will you like?
With Chrome OS, your student will always have the latest security with software that automatically updates in the background. You can rest assured that your student’s information will be protected as he goes online. This will give you peace of mind.
In addition, your student can set the laptop to automatically backup, alleviating you of the worry that he will lose any important or critical documents or treasured photos stored on his computer.
