The Core i7 Google Pixelbook available at the Google Play Store will ship January 3, 2018.

If you don't want to buy it online, the Core i7 Google Pixelbook is also available at B&H and Best Buy. Consumers can purchase the netbook online from those vendors, but will likely face the same shipping times as Google. Stop by a physical location for faster access.

Google offers a Preferred Care extended warranty plan for all Google Pixel models. However, for $249, customers get only up to two years of hardware and software support; Apple offers up to three years.

Customers who purchase the Core i7 Google Pixelbook can get a Google Home speaker for free, as well as six months of Netflix free.

Google is offering the Pixelbook pen as a external accessory. The stylus sells for $99. While it is direct competitor to the Apple Pencil, there are other netbooks, such as the Samsung Galaxy Book, which come with a stylus included.

In addition to the Core i7 processor, the new premium Pixelbook features a 12.3-inch Quad-HD LCD touchscreen display with a 2400 x 1600 pixel resolution, a whopping 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of solid state on-board storage. It also has USB-C ports, dual speakers, four microphones and a headphone jack.

Google Pixelbook reviews indicate that while the netbook has many highly-coveted features, it lacks many full applications consumers may require for a everyday productivity. Some applications come in truncated Android mobile versions or may not be available on the Google Play Store at all. This may work against justifying the $1,500+ price tag for the higher-end model.
