Google Pixelbook first impressions: A true 'premium' Chromebook Google has launched a new high-end Chromebook, called the Pixelbook. The premium Pixelbook is the first convertible Chromebook with Google Assistant built-in. Google Pixelbook is a high-performance machine that can run Android apps and packs an optional Pixelbook Pen.

The Apple iPhone 8 series is an upgrade on the iPhone 7 series, but has a new number because of the design change in the form of a glass back. But is there more to this phone? Well, here is the review. Apple iPhone 8 Plus Apple iPhone 8 Plus has the same design features as the earlier version, except for the fact that this one has a glass back.
