![]() ![]() Google Pixelbook 2 outlookĪs it stands now, we hope for more reasons for the Google Pixelbook 2 than a small performance boost. How they'll convince us to drop that kind of change, we are waiting to see. This is why we're betting that the Pixelbook 2 will also start at/around a grand. How do we know? The original Pixelbook is still starting at $999 on, even in 2022. Google still believes in high-priced Chromebooks. It would all be speculative at this point given how far removed we are from the rumored specs posted above. We just can't definitively say what components the Chromebook may have. ![]() The Pixelbook 2, when it comes out, should have the latest tech underneath its proverbial hood. ChromeOS doesn't have its own version of Geekbench, so it has to run via Android app emulation.Īll of the above information is years old, with mobile technology becoming more performant and powerful. The highest multi-core score from those tests was 8,298 (on a Ryzen 7 unit), which only slightly beats the 7,927 that the original Pixelbook (with a 7th Gen Intel Core i5 CPU and 8GB of RAM) scored on that same test.Ĭould the Pixelbook go AMD-only? As more and more laptops offer both AMD and Intel versions, it's not impossible.ĭon't worry, by the way, about Geekbench labeling these scores as coming from a device running Android. Zork, as weird a name as it is, was rumored as a potential Chromebook codename since an About Chromebooks post in 2019. The scores were published on April 1 and June 3 (both in 2020), with the former date's machine using an AMD Ryzen 7 3700C with Radeon Vega Mobile graphics, while the June upload was done on a "Google zork" with an AMD Ryzen 3 3250C 15W with Radeon Graphics. Multiple Geekbench 4 benchmarks posted to that app's own site show signs of a device named "Google zork" that ran on AMD Ryzen processors. One interesting bit of Google Pixelbook 2 rumormongering we've seen in the past points to Google going with recent trends in computing. Given Tsolaki's statement, a Pixelbook 2 won't release in 2022. That didn't end up happening, either in 2020 nor in 2021. Much like the Pixelbook and the Pixel Slate, Google announced the Go at a media event.īased on that pattern, we expected the Pixelbook 2 to release in October 2020. The Google Pixelbook Go was announced on October 15, 2019. Next, the Pixel Slate (which isn't getting a sequel) arrived on October 9, 2018. The Pixelbook wowed eyes and tried to redefine what a Chromebook could be on October 30, 2017. Plus: Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 - everything we know so far. ![]()
