Dave Lee so something that I noticed myself longing for with my current laptop setup is more simplicity. I have an XPS 15 9550, and I dual booted elementary OS for my daily, and only switch to windows 10 for my photo editing, or video rendering. I don't quite understand why but when I look at windows 10 it's a cluttered work OS, and I miss the simplicity of my old Chromebook. Sometimes I wish I didn't go with the 9550, dispite it being an amazing device!
@L3g8nd Gaming let's hope you're right, but then let's hope they're right... Before we all typed a reply, we all knew how much tech giants + littles invested past 2 years in VR n AR. At the end of the day You're burning holes in your pocket to buy it anyway -- might as well have fun doing it.
@Bshal Sresth I disagree. AR is pretty useless right now, but Google Assistant is useful. Google Lens can be useful, too, for example you see some art object or other things like that and you want more information about it... and you get the info with it, how can that not be useful?
There's something almost therapeutic about watching Dave's videos. So simple, clean, informative, and classy. I definitely identify with all your thoughts on the Pixels, too. Not sure if I'll upgrade to the phone, yet, but the Pixelbook does seem worth a look.
I completely agree with y'all. But there are some useful apps. Take IKEA place for example or measurekit. They can be useful. And SkyGuide (imo) is really cool.
I don't know if you always do that or not, but today I watched you video with the headphones on and noticed music playing in the background (starts at 0:28), and man, I LOVE IT! I really do. P.S.: You and UrAvgConsumer are my favorite tech. reviewers.
On my TOP 5 favorite Channels. Dave puts so much quality (and I mean pure QUALITY) on these videos as well as it seems such a "normal" guy (please read this as a huge compliment from my side) with unbiased opinions and just the right attitude. Thank You Dave.
Rohith Dsouza just because youre poor doesn't mean other Western people are (: we want premium items and we are willing to pay a premium price at least some of us. Its not that we stole the Money from someone its our money so if you don't want to buy it then don't stop complaining
It’s ridiculous. For that money you can get a laptop that can actually run a real OS, Windows 10. Don’t get me wrong, ChromeOS has its place in schools and cheap laptops, but $1000 is just pathetic.
Man if Qualcomm put a Snapdragon processor in there you wouldnt notice the difference. Chrome OS is a stupidly light OS hence the beauty of how snappy it is on these low power chips.
Why would anyone pay more than $1,000 for a Chromebook?? It's a joke. No way to run real applications like Photoshop, Traktor DJ etc. Heck, a $600 laptop is much much better than a Chromebook. And I feel the same way about AR as you.
I thought so too but the bigger iPad Pro costs around the same once you throw in a keyboard and apple pencil. iOS is even more limited than Chrome OS but that hasn't stopped people from buying them
Isnt Google working on a web based daw, photo editing..? It could also be a great linux laptop. If google is throwing a 1000$ device out there, they have to give reasons to buy it.
When i saw the iphone and google AR craze this year i thought this was some new cool shit but NOPE...This is the exact same thing i used to do on xperia z 4 frickin years ago. wtf
Hey Dave. Love your reviews always. Your insights are always precise and useful but what makes your reviews cut above the others, is the fact that your opinions are so earnest, honest and unbiased. Like what you just said about the AR factor, I completely agree. Great work!
Dave, you produce a really high quality content. Thank you for that and keep doing it this way! All the points you make in this video are exactly what I was thinking during the Google's live presentation.
In the Home Max promo video and the video with Diplo I noticed that there was a setup with 2 of 'em. I'm guessing they have DJ quality sound and can replace standard DJ speakers or bookshelf speakers. Would love a review of the Max when it gets a release date.
Lord Enix chill Not only does he usually spend a lot of time on a product before reviewing it, he might have mot even been approved to recieve a review unit yet. So just chill for now 😎
Most people won't be interested until an entire computer can be fit into two separate contact lenses that fit on your eyes and has an interface that'll always interact with you. Until then, couldn't care less.
that should have the same design and everything else other than having a gtx 1060 with the cheaper one (gtx 1050/1050Ti). He has the review for the cheaper one. Basically good laptop but try getting the IPS panel one
AR is not just about creatures running around, it gives so many more options for developers, like AR real time navigation, for example, and many more to come, when developers start implementing it in interesting ways.
You are probably not involved in any of the two industries so please stfu.VR will be huge especially in architecture.Having a client actually go through the living space instead of explaining the blueprints/renders will be the future of communication to client.
maybe you can opt to restrict network access for that app, it can works offline too btw, which is cool wait, unless, that function is bundled in the assistant. Well, we'll see
Google had some interesting Github commits about a native GNU/Linux and Wayland layer on Chromebooks...That, plus this, would make it pretty damn appealing. 999 isn't cheap, but its' about right for the hardware. With native support for other linux the software would be there too, and Android apps do most of what you need already.
Vicente Capito If he had to choose between an iPhone x or a chromebook for the same price he would take the iPhone. What you said just doesnt make any goddamn sense at all.
You can install Ubuntu in a chroot with Crouton and then switch seamlessly between the two, this seems like the best option. Run Chrome OS on the go for great battery life and use Ubuntu apps when you need the full power of Linux. By the way, you can even install Steam inside the Crouton chroot for gaming.
As for your comments on AR, I think it's all about getting the public excited, regardless of how useful that feature will be. Now that all the flagships have the same specs, manufacturers need gimmicks to get people talking. Same with the Animoji on iOS.
XPS 15 is in a totally different category and fits totally different use cases. It's a great mobile workstation, but it does not convert into a tablet, does not run Android apps and does not have a touchscreen or a digitizer at this price point (XPS 15 Touch is $2300). Pixelbook is an ultraportable laptop that doubles as a tablet, not a mobile workstation.
Really interested in that Pixel book review. I am trying to figure out which ultrabook/tablet make sense for me. Since I used for work mainly, I think surface is the best option to go for as it has windows. I am also interested in using is as my all day tablet (work and media) and the pen to take meeting notes is almost a must.
Nice video Dave. First let me say, as a fan of clean, minimalist aesthetics, your videos are always enjoyable to watch for the look as well as the thoughtful content. I'm definitely interested in the Pixel 2XL. I went to order the black & white one after the event and it was already sold out. I truly hope we're not going to see a replay of the supply issues that plagued the first Pixel. Beyond that, I'm already a Google Home user, so the addition of the Home Mini will be nice for other rooms in the house. I use Chromecast Audio on existing soakers in my house. Nevertheless, I must admit that my curiosity is piqued by the Home Max. Finally, that Pixelbook tho. I know it's crazy expensive, but it sure made me give some serious side eye to my Acer R11. I look forward to seeing your impressions and review. Cheers!
Loved your opinions Dave - they are smart and straight to the point. Especially on the topic $1000++ Chromebook vs. a premium Windows device. More power to you and continued success!
Dave, first, love your videos. I’m hoping my channel gets to Dave 2D status some day as well. Second, not sure it’s worth comparing the upcoming PixelBook to an XPS 13. I think Google is more trying to take a jab at the 12.9” Apple iPad Pro which is up there in price close to the $1,000 range as well. Lastly, I don’t believe the price for the Pixelbook is actually all that high. Phones today are coming in at $1,000 so a beautiful piece of tech like the Pixelbook has to be at least that. We’ll see when I get my hands on it and do a proper review. Thanks for the video and be well.
That thing is like AR. Seems cool at first, but when you see how freaking slow it is compared to wired charging, nobody use it. Maybe in the future, but now it's useless.
Your opening got me thinking, do you have any favourite non-tech tools and if so could you make a video for them? For example, something like a Gerber Shard or a swiss army knife.
Lol, the small ones looks the same. The only difference is that you have a speaker on bottom and the glass thing on back is smaller (and looks better like this), that's all... talkint about the Pixel XL, then XL 2 looks a lot better.
I really appreciate the down to earth way to think about these things. Looking forward to your honest thoughts of the new Pixel laptop especially from the position of a normal consumer who has to really budget before spending a thousand dollars.

Google is just blatantly copying Apple at this point. They've got their software going. Hardware wise, no. Pricing, absolutely obnoxious.
Google did copy Apple's concept of iPhones(software hardware integration, voice assistant, portrait mode), but how Google implemented this concept is quite different. Like using AI to achieve camera feats instead of relying on a 2nd camera, adding a 'Squeeze Frame' feature to activate Assistant. This is much better than many other companies who copy the implementation as well(e.g. Xiaomi). Google does deserve credit for the honestly very impressive work they've done in the implementation. And unfortunately nowadays no one cares about who created the concept anymore it's all about implementation :(
The camera uses a dual pixel setup like the Canon 80D - so expecting amazing autofocus - and this means you don't need a dual camera to make depth maps. I am excited about this development.
God just see the price diff and then talk No dual sim!! No Spen!! No iris scanner!! No face unlock!! No infinity display in twenty seventeen!! No wireless charging!! No sd card slot!! No headphone jack... At this price!!!!!!!!!!! 😰😰😰😰 I really wanna ask to google for how much u want to add these stuffs...... I appreciate the smoothness and performance of the ui in pixel and its camera(may be) and speakers are really amazing as compared to note 8, there are diff opinions regarding these stuffs like iris scanner, spen etc...... But samsung is atleast providing the choice to switch b/w them Google is not.... I really think they should
e.arwaikey , Bro that is the truth thats it , even if u dont agree, i know the pixel is awesome, its camera , audia and amazing smooth ui is stunning, but it still lacks a.lot of features
Torrey Ellison don't buy pixel book , you can get a better laptops cheaper and you can even game on them , you wanna buy window laptop , buy it , you wanna buy MacBook , buy it , but this is a bad laptop for price , not worth it , it's more waste of money in my opinion , you can buy solid and more beautiful laptops like dell xps or hp spectre .
Rishik Mourya How many videos are you going to regurgitate this same shit on? Geez.. ok Unlimited cloud storage negates the need for microSD expansion. Google will never be in favor of sd cards so I don't know why the same complaint is repeated every year. Wireless charging is a glorified gimmick that literally adds zero convenience and limits the usability of the phone. No headphone jack sucks but they're being phased out anyway and a great pair of bluetooth buds will be fine until manufacturers start making better USB type C enabled headphones. Plus there's an adapter. Not sure why this is still such a huge complaint. Who gives a shit about an iris scanner and stock android has had face unlock for almost 5 years now. An spen isn't worth the extra $200-$300 (I'm going for the smaller Pixel 2 which has comparable battery life to the Note 8 😂). You're guaranteed software and security support for the 3 years... this makes the phone a more than worthy and enticing investment. You were saying?
The listening to songs in the background feature seems like a stepping stone to having full auditory monitoring on your personal mobile phone, regardless of whether you want it or not. There's no way Google isn't mining that audio data for other purposes.
I know IKEA has an AR catalogue that you can use it and try to place an AR furniture into your desire space to see whether it fits your home taste or not , i think it's quite useful , not that like game changer but i see potential .
I've never looked twice at the Chrome OS until I saw the Pixelbook. It sounds like an amazing machine! I just don't understand the specs though...has Google made any indication that there will finally be fully fledged creative studio programs released on Chrome OS?
I think the main reason AR is being pushed is not that people are going to use it a lot, but more that it's a fun easy thing to show to your friends. It's hard to show a friend in a couple of minutes that you love the software experience, or the way AI makes the phone more powerful, but AR is the kind of thing you show to your friend excitedly (most of the excitement being for the phone itself, rather than the AR) and they go "Cool! What phone's that again?".
Am eager to see your take on the pixelbook. More interested to know how it matches up to the best 2in1s (Spectre 13" x360 the new 8th gen, xps 13 etc.) and the other top ultrabooks you recommended in your video in May'17
some people have been saying that the phone can identify a song without internet - this is literally not possible unless it either - downloads a list of current popular songs and enough data to use to confirm them - or it just holds the data until you do have internet.
For me AR has some really cool potential, but from what I've seen so far of the technology it isn't something that I would actively use or want on my phone. I see AR and my immediate thought is that it's just going to kill the battery. Seems like something that would be cool to show off once, but I feel that after that initial reaction no one will care about it because outside the wow factor or technology improving, what's the point of it? What can I do with AR and at the moment I just don't see any reason to use it on a day to day bases. The design of the PixelBook alone makes me want to get one. It has a nice sleek design. As you said though, my initial reaction is that I don't want to spend $1000 on a chromebook when I can get a really good one for much cheaper. Looking forward to your review of it though!
Hey Dave Lee -- Are you going to review the LG V30 ?? Would love to hear your take on it, and your thoughts on how it compares to the Pixel 2 (esp since LG also made the Pixel 2), and possibly vs Sammy Note 8 (or S8+) as well !
Dave I'm always impressed at your videos and the sheer lack of jumpcuts. bravo good sir! Also, I'm waiting for first rounds of 2XLs to go out so the teething issues are addressed for round 2. Good idea or no? I'm usually the first to throw money at google but this year $850 is steep even if I trade my 6P in.
Dave, they're called the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. You should include that in your video title and description or people may pass over this video when looking for videos about the new devices
Really excited about the Pixel XL. It looks so solid. Thanks for watching!
Dave Lee hello there ,,, where you from ?
Dave Lee
What do you think of the Bluetooth headphones they revealed? I think they are quite cool, especially with the translation feature :)
Sony already had AR since longer than last year. And to me, AR sucks. It's a pointless feature.
Dell inspiron 15 7577 please
Dave Lee so something that I noticed myself longing for with my current laptop setup is more simplicity. I have an XPS 15 9550, and I dual booted elementary OS for my daily, and only switch to windows 10 for my photo editing, or video rendering. I don't quite understand why but when I look at windows 10 it's a cluttered work OS, and I miss the simplicity of my old Chromebook. Sometimes I wish I didn't go with the 9550, dispite it being an amazing device!
same who tf cares about AR give me more battery life come on
Its going to fade away just like how 3D did.
Enoch Cobbina I hope so!
All this hype for crappy phone AR is getting annoying
@L3g8nd Gaming let's hope you're right, but then let's hope they're right... Before we all typed a reply, we all knew how much tech giants + littles invested past 2 years in VR n AR. At the end of the day You're burning holes in your pocket to buy it anyway -- might as well have fun doing it.
Maybe we could get a kingsman style meeting interface with AR
It’s cool to think about what all AR in something like Hololens could be used for. It feels like a novelty for a smartphone camera, though.
The AR stuff would probably be fun for the first few times then never to be used again
Kenji Inoue I think it's more of a usable facility for developers to produce useful apps like translations or puzzle solving just using your camera
I feel the same way.
the 3ds had AR...bored of it within minutes
@Bshal Sresth I disagree. AR is pretty useless right now, but Google Assistant is useful. Google Lens can be useful, too, for example you see some art object or other things like that and you want more information about it... and you get the info with it, how can that not be useful?
"Does that turn you on?"
I dont know, you tell me Dave
Harsh Patel Possibly a Freudian slip? X)
Harsh Patel "Does it make you Randy, baby ? Well, does it ??" 🤣🤣🤣
I was sitting and waiting for dave's video.
Shiny Films Dave’s video are always great!
Shiny Films I use hitfilm. U do great content. I'm a sub.
such a great videos with all the truth for a tech entusiast
Aren't we all?
+ MKBHD. anyone?
There's something almost therapeutic about watching Dave's videos. So simple, clean, informative, and classy. I definitely identify with all your thoughts on the Pixels, too. Not sure if I'll upgrade to the phone, yet, but the Pixelbook does seem worth a look.
Mr. Lee, you are the MOST honest RUclipsr alive. Thank you.
Dave, your channel is seriously one of the best tech channels on YT. Your intros alone are god tier. Well done.
No, Dave. You’re not old. Nobody gives a rats ass about AR.
Abdullah Siddiqui truth spoken haha
Abdullah Siddiqui for real though, "look at me, I'm a talking shit." Ffs, instead of giving us bigger batteries or shit, this is what they give us
Abdullah Siddiqui tbh I don't have time to waste my battery life on AR
I completely agree with y'all. But there are some useful apps. Take IKEA place for example or measurekit. They can be useful. And SkyGuide (imo) is really cool.
Abdullah Siddiqui I do :( But I am not optimistic it will ever be supported or be a "thing."
I don't know if you always do that or not, but today I watched you video with the headphones on and noticed music playing in the background (starts at 0:28), and man, I LOVE IT! I really do.
P.S.: You and UrAvgConsumer are my favorite tech. reviewers.
Excited about the Pixelbook review.
thats why i like you dave. your honest opinions, making simple editing video and its all about tech stuff
Fucking AR, just give me wireless charging or more battery life...
I feel so good when I watch your videos!It’s relaxing to stay late night and watching this videos from you
I derive pleasure from watching your content.
same
Me too I just wish that we can review more of the Alienware Laptops even though he already did it
I derive my car to school every day.
Stole my comment 😲
same
On my TOP 5 favorite Channels. Dave puts so much quality (and I mean pure QUALITY) on these videos as well as it seems such a "normal" guy (please read this as a huge compliment from my side) with unbiased opinions and just the right attitude. Thank You Dave.
Google pixel 1: haha apple, no headphone jack
Pixel 2: fuck people give me your money. A stupid wireless headset for 160$
Rohith Dsouza you are never gonna buy either one of 'em so stop complaining about things that don't even matter.
And they charge $25 for their adapter! Apple only charges $9.
Die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain
Google craps
Luke Arnould I think they said in the event that an Included adapter is there in the box. A replacement would cost 20$
Rohith Dsouza just because youre poor doesn't mean other Western people are (: we want premium items and we are willing to pay a premium price at least some of us. Its not that we stole the Money from someone its our money so if you don't want to buy it then don't stop complaining
I like this guy! Your voice and music is super relaxing, you earned yourself a sub!
i7 kabylake for chrome os.
lol
Alfredo Sauc
Thank you. It has to be said.
It’s ridiculous. For that money you can get a laptop that can actually run a real OS, Windows 10. Don’t get me wrong, ChromeOS has its place in schools and cheap laptops, but $1000 is just pathetic.
A tegra X1 could run it. Idk what google is doing...
Man if Qualcomm put a Snapdragon processor in there you wouldnt notice the difference. Chrome OS is a stupidly light OS hence the beauty of how snappy it is on these low power chips.
if i got this thing one of the first things i will do is install linux
Why would anyone pay more than $1,000 for a Chromebook?? It's a joke. No way to run real applications like Photoshop, Traktor DJ etc. Heck, a $600 laptop is much much better than a Chromebook. And I feel the same way about AR as you.
I thought so too but the bigger iPad Pro costs around the same once you throw in a keyboard and apple pencil. iOS is even more limited than Chrome OS but that hasn't stopped people from buying them
Kamran H But the iPad pro is actually nicer than the pixel
Christopher Yiwei Liang are we talking about aesthetics or function?
Christopher Yiwei Liang
In what sense? and don't say "because it's apple and I'm a proud isheep"
Isnt Google working on a web based daw, photo editing..? It could also be a great linux laptop. If google is throwing a 1000$ device out there, they have to give reasons to buy it.
Sony had AR since 2013 on my xperia z .. used it when i first got it and thought it was
cool .. never used it again .. it's really useless.
2012 with the ps vita
jalal majid Vr on phones is somewhat like that as well and not only that it overheats the phone, but there are some cool experiences on mobile vr
2010 Galaxy s1. Layar app.
And psp invisimals.
When i saw the iphone and google AR craze this year i thought this was some new cool shit but NOPE...This is the exact same thing i used to do on xperia z 4 frickin years ago. wtf
Yeah Nintendo did it in 2011 with a glasses free 3d screen lol
the damn headphone jack.... WHY !!!!!???
3DS had ar in 2012 why are they putting it in phones now
Because Nintendo is always ahead of time. They made the first VR device 20 years before Gear VR / Oculus / Vive.
Gage BlackW23 yeah but that vr set gave people headaches
You had to use a card to experience AR with the 3DS
Not all. There was this face shooters game, mind you I didn't really play with it.
No one remembers the vita? It was better imo
Hey Dave. Love your reviews always. Your insights are always precise and useful but what makes your reviews cut above the others, is the fact that your opinions are so earnest, honest and unbiased. Like what you just said about the AR factor, I completely agree. Great work!
Thank you for calling out AR. You're the first RUclipsr that I've seen so that.
Damn Dave, you blowing up! I remember when you had like 200k subs!
The notebook is cool and all
But can it run crysis?
Almost anything can run crysis today.
Maybe if it wasn’t running a tablet operating system
Crysis ? No ! Roblox ? Yes !
lmao
it can run Asphalt 8
well it can run clash of clans without emulator hahaha
Dave, you produce a really high quality content. Thank you for that and keep doing it this way! All the points you make in this video are exactly what I was thinking during the Google's live presentation.
Just got a google home mini ad before this video lol
In the Home Max promo video and the video with Diplo I noticed that there was a setup with 2 of 'em. I'm guessing they have DJ quality sound and can replace standard DJ speakers or bookshelf speakers. Would love a review of the Max when it gets a release date.
No headphone jack, it's kinda deal breaker to me...
Samsung still did better on their flagship devices, powerful yet packed with everything we want.
VacancyJB same with LG’s V30
yeah, i almost forget. LG is a good buy too...with dual camera, sd card, headphone jack...etc.
Meh headphones never were a big factor on if I get a phone, it's always been the experience
Too bad Samsung has that horrible UI. That is actually way more of a dealbreaker to me
chicoktc Samsung's ui has changed drastically
When's the review of the 7577 coming just ordered the maxed out model and I really want to see your review before it comes haha
MAKE A REVIEW ON THE INSPIRON 7577 ALREADY DAVE
Lord Enix chill
Not only does he usually spend a lot of time on a product before reviewing it, he might have mot even been approved to recieve a review unit yet. So just chill for now 😎
Thanks for the video man. Cant wait for the reviews!
Thanks Dave. Nice review. Seems like a very valuable phone. A great competitor
How can you not love Dave's videos ? Simple and relaxing.
Shazam has an option to always listen to your environment for a song
Nice vid! Were you lucky enough to pre order and get an early delivery date?
haha glad im not the only one whos not into all this AR stuff
Kyle the only time AR would seem useful is if used for navigation. Other than that it's just pointless
Kyle Ar looks like one of those things that you play with for 5 minutes and then never use again until you want to impress friends
Most people won't be interested until an entire computer can be fit into two separate contact lenses that fit on your eyes and has an interface that'll always interact with you. Until then, couldn't care less.
LinusMLGTips haha I wear contacts now and the thought of that is amazing.
I got interested in AMAZON Alexa after the "play digger digger" episode 😏😏😏
Love the new intro logo, Dave.
If only someone reviewed the Dell Inspiron 7577 (another wink, wink nudge, nudge)
that should have the same design and everything else other than having a gtx 1060 with the cheaper one (gtx 1050/1050Ti). He has the review for the cheaper one. Basically good laptop but try getting the IPS panel one
CoolBro47 it was reviewed yesterday on another channel
CoolBro47 I think Andrew Tan has reviewed that laptop
CoolBro47 replying so dave will see this im planning to buy a dell soon and i need this review
Yesssssplz
I always appreciate Dave's honesty.
Those stereo speakers make me want to buy the pixel 2 the stupid named blue one looks nice.
AR is not just about creatures running around, it gives so many more options for developers, like AR real time navigation, for example, and many more to come, when developers start implementing it in interesting ways.
For the Architects and engineers the AR and VR are very important and game changers!!
LOL not at all
You are probably not involved in any of the two industries so please stfu.VR will be huge especially in architecture.Having a client actually go through the living space instead of explaining the blueprints/renders will be the future of communication to client.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the buds as well. Think AI enabled ear/headphones are going to be big early next year
waiit... if the phone is listening for songs... what makes you think it won't be listening to ua
Google said that it doesn't send any information gathered to the cloud.
us*
maybe you can opt to restrict network access for that app, it can works offline too btw, which is cool
wait, unless, that function is bundled in the assistant. Well, we'll see
wait... Are we allowed to talk about this on a non-conspiracy forum?
Icarus definitely just make sure the forums not through Google
Google had some interesting Github commits about a native GNU/Linux and Wayland layer on Chromebooks...That, plus this, would make it pretty damn appealing. 999 isn't cheap, but its' about right for the hardware. With native support for other linux the software would be there too, and Android apps do most of what you need already.
tipoomaster the containers look really interesting just ordered my pixelbook
The PixelBook is a literal joke. Google has learned nothing from the Chromebook Pixel.
tru it's just an android tablet with a keyboard and desktop version of chrome
Its meant to compete with the iPad pro soooooo.
If you are comparing it with the iPad that is trying to act like a laptop, then this is above it.
Exactly
ThePotatoFromAzarath ;-; lol iPad Pro $650, PixelBook $999-$2000
I love the thought of AR as an information system - like looking at the sky and getting constellation information - or something similar to that.
1000 dollars..... iPhone X or 1000 dollar chromebook?
I'm not an apple fan but I would rather have the iphone
KellonMelon hahahaha naaaa better gtx1050ti for the same price
Vicente Capito If he had to choose between an iPhone x or a chromebook for the same price he would take the iPhone. What you said just doesnt make any goddamn sense at all.
mo101epic true, or use the windows and Linux containers they havd
You can install Ubuntu in a chroot with Crouton and then switch seamlessly between the two, this seems like the best option. Run Chrome OS on the go for great battery life and use Ubuntu apps when you need the full power of Linux. By the way, you can even install Steam inside the Crouton chroot for gaming.
Hi Dave! Can you make a full video about the Google Pixelbook? I really want to buy it but I don't know everything about it
GOOD ASS INTRO
Sam Etzweiler by Chance the Rapper is a great song
Sam Etzweiler you look like brad Pitt
Soniya Verma no
You should have a million more subscribers than you currently have. Love your contents.
Is the Pixel 2\XL worth the money? Yes.
Is the Chromebook? No way.
As for your comments on AR, I think it's all about getting the public excited, regardless of how useful that feature will be. Now that all the flagships have the same specs, manufacturers need gimmicks to get people talking. Same with the Animoji on iOS.
AR is a gimmick, just a novelty
Love all of your videos! Are you planning on making a review for the LG V30?
dell inspiron 7577 plis
Kasper Karelse we wanna see
Amazing and informative as always, good work Dave :)
I wouldnt trade my xps 15 for a pixelbook.
Angel Snow hell no Chrome OS sucks
Same. Mine was $1100, couldnt imagine saving $100 to only use chrome os, unable to do 50% of what i do now.
Alex Schwartz 90% of my usage
grsslgcy32 I have a Chromebook and it's great, as long as it's under 300 dollars.
XPS 15 is in a totally different category and fits totally different use cases. It's a great mobile workstation, but it does not convert into a tablet, does not run Android apps and does not have a touchscreen or a digitizer at this price point (XPS 15 Touch is $2300). Pixelbook is an ultraportable laptop that doubles as a tablet, not a mobile workstation.
Really interested in that Pixel book review. I am trying to figure out which ultrabook/tablet make sense for me. Since I used for work mainly, I think surface is the best option to go for as it has windows. I am also interested in using is as my all day tablet (work and media) and the pen to take meeting notes is almost a must.
I really thought these pixels were gna be 1000 plus but 649 and 849 gg google
Sami Bari 800€ the normal one in Germany :(
Cost $835 for Pixel 2 and $1060 Pixel 2 XL in UK (64gb variants).
RUclips Scam Hunter Europeans have enough money ;) (rip IAM crying)
XL version $1400+ here :(
You're idiots. The 128 gb 2 xl comes to $1003. I had it in my cart so yea, it's an overpriced device
Nice video Dave. First let me say, as a fan of clean, minimalist aesthetics, your videos are always enjoyable to watch for the look as well as the thoughtful content.
I'm definitely interested in the Pixel 2XL. I went to order the black & white one after the event and it was already sold out. I truly hope we're not going to see a replay of the supply issues that plagued the first Pixel. Beyond that, I'm already a Google Home user, so the addition of the Home Mini will be nice for other rooms in the house. I use Chromecast Audio on existing soakers in my house. Nevertheless, I must admit that my curiosity is piqued by the Home Max. Finally, that Pixelbook tho. I know it's crazy expensive, but it sure made me give some serious side eye to my Acer R11. I look forward to seeing your impressions and review. Cheers!
Dave did you seriously put Pixel XL instead of Pixel 2 XL 😂
Loved your opinions Dave - they are smart and straight to the point. Especially on the topic $1000++ Chromebook vs. a premium Windows device. More power to you and continued success!
Has anyone noticed Dave only has 4 fingers on his right hand?
Omg youre right...
You can't count
Bobby Edwards idk mannnn looks like 4 to me
check at 1:58

Great video! Man your content is always top notch!!
May I interest you in some “SMART WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED”?????🍁☘️😎
derickj1976 smart weed get high wirelessly , charge your weed everytime! 😂😂😂
Dave, first, love your videos. I’m hoping my channel gets to Dave 2D status some day as well. Second, not sure it’s worth comparing the upcoming PixelBook to an XPS 13. I think Google is more trying to take a jab at the 12.9” Apple iPad Pro which is up there in price close to the $1,000 range as well. Lastly, I don’t believe the price for the Pixelbook is actually all that high. Phones today are coming in at $1,000 so a beautiful piece of tech like the Pixelbook has to be at least that. We’ll see when I get my hands on it and do a proper review. Thanks for the video and be well.
So no wireless charging? Wow that feature came out since 2009.
- Android users 2017
HAAAAA
SystemRichie the nexus 4 had it ffs
Nexus 4 tho
Nexus 7 from way back
That thing is like AR. Seems cool at first, but when you see how freaking slow it is compared to wired charging, nobody use it. Maybe in the future, but now it's useless.
See, I like your honesty and the way you present things.
Love and respect.
AR = ZZZzzzz
Your opening got me thinking, do you have any favourite non-tech tools and if so could you make a video for them? For example, something like a Gerber Shard or a swiss army knife.
The original pixel looked better. I'm gonna skip it just because of looks
Lol, the small ones looks the same. The only difference is that you have a speaker on bottom and the glass thing on back is smaller (and looks better like this), that's all... talkint about the Pixel XL, then XL 2 looks a lot better.
I really appreciate the down to earth way to think about these things. Looking forward to your honest thoughts of the new Pixel laptop especially from the position of a normal consumer who has to really budget before spending a thousand dollars.
Google is just blatantly copying Apple at this point. They've got their software going. Hardware wise, no. Pricing, absolutely obnoxious.
Thế Hoàng Nguyễn dont see anywhere a copy....and if...apple copy Samsung Samsung .... and and and
Google did copy Apple's concept of iPhones(software hardware integration, voice assistant, portrait mode), but how Google implemented this concept is quite different. Like using AI to achieve camera feats instead of relying on a 2nd camera, adding a 'Squeeze Frame' feature to activate Assistant. This is much better than many other companies who copy the implementation as well(e.g. Xiaomi). Google does deserve credit for the honestly very impressive work they've done in the implementation. And unfortunately nowadays no one cares about who created the concept anymore it's all about implementation :(
The camera uses a dual pixel setup like the Canon 80D - so expecting amazing autofocus - and this means you don't need a dual camera to make depth maps. I am excited about this development.
What is this abomination on his wrist?
Omar Moataz A watch.
What shirt is he wearing?
Gadsden flag?
Ikr that thing is so ugly
Thanks a lot for finally put the subtitles, i'm Brazilian and the captions helps me a lot
God just see the price diff and then talk
No dual sim!!

No iris scanner!!
No face unlock!!
No infinity display in twenty seventeen!!
No wireless charging!!
No sd card slot!!
No headphone jack... At this price!!!!!!!!!!!
😰😰😰😰
I really wanna ask to google for how much u want to add these stuffs......
I appreciate the smoothness and performance of the ui in pixel and its camera(may be) and speakers are really amazing as compared to note 8, there are diff opinions regarding these stuffs like iris scanner, spen etc...... But samsung is atleast providing the choice to switch b/w them
Google is not.... I really think they should
r u stupid
e.arwaikey , Bro that is the truth thats it , even if u dont agree, i know the pixel is awesome, its camera , audia and amazing smooth ui is stunning, but it still lacks a.lot of features
Rishik Mourya Regardless I'm still gonna buy a Pixel XL 2 and a Pixel Book
Torrey Ellison don't buy pixel book , you can get a better laptops cheaper and you can even game on them , you wanna buy window laptop , buy it , you wanna buy MacBook , buy it , but this is a bad laptop for price , not worth it , it's more waste of money in my opinion , you can buy solid and more beautiful laptops like dell xps or hp spectre .
Rishik Mourya How many videos are you going to regurgitate this same shit on? Geez.. ok
Unlimited cloud storage negates the need for microSD expansion. Google will never be in favor of sd cards so I don't know why the same complaint is repeated every year. Wireless charging is a glorified gimmick that literally adds zero convenience and limits the usability of the phone. No headphone jack sucks but they're being phased out anyway and a great pair of bluetooth buds will be fine until manufacturers start making better USB type C enabled headphones. Plus there's an adapter. Not sure why this is still such a huge complaint. Who gives a shit about an iris scanner and stock android has had face unlock for almost 5 years now. An spen isn't worth the extra $200-$300 (I'm going for the smaller Pixel 2 which has comparable battery life to the Note 8 😂). You're guaranteed software and security support for the 3 years... this makes the phone a more than worthy and enticing investment.
You were saying?
I can see AR being super useful for things like navigation and finding exactly where that one restaurant is, or whatever.
The listening to songs in the background feature seems like a stepping stone to having full auditory monitoring on your personal mobile phone, regardless of whether you want it or not. There's no way Google isn't mining that audio data for other purposes.
I know IKEA has an AR catalogue that you can use it and try to place an AR furniture into your desire space to see whether it fits your home taste or not , i think it's quite useful , not that like game changer but i see potential .
I've never looked twice at the Chrome OS until I saw the Pixelbook. It sounds like an amazing machine! I just don't understand the specs though...has Google made any indication that there will finally be fully fledged creative studio programs released on Chrome OS?
Can you believe this dude only has 800k subscribers? Been watching for a while, figured you were at around 5mil or so
Wow dude you're almost at a mil!
Amazing video Dave!
I think the main reason AR is being pushed is not that people are going to use it a lot, but more that it's a fun easy thing to show to your friends. It's hard to show a friend in a couple of minutes that you love the software experience, or the way AI makes the phone more powerful, but AR is the kind of thing you show to your friend excitedly (most of the excitement being for the phone itself, rather than the AR) and they go "Cool! What phone's that again?".
Am eager to see your take on the pixelbook. More interested to know how it matches up to the best 2in1s (Spectre 13" x360 the new 8th gen, xps 13 etc.) and the other top ultrabooks you recommended in your video in May'17
some people have been saying that the phone can identify a song without internet - this is literally not possible unless it either - downloads a list of current popular songs and enough data to use to confirm them - or it just holds the data until you do have internet.
For me AR has some really cool potential, but from what I've seen so far of the technology it isn't something that I would actively use or want on my phone. I see AR and my immediate thought is that it's just going to kill the battery. Seems like something that would be cool to show off once, but I feel that after that initial reaction no one will care about it because outside the wow factor or technology improving, what's the point of it? What can I do with AR and at the moment I just don't see any reason to use it on a day to day bases.
The design of the PixelBook alone makes me want to get one. It has a nice sleek design. As you said though, my initial reaction is that I don't want to spend $1000 on a chromebook when I can get a really good one for much cheaper. Looking forward to your review of it though!
I am glad that i clicked the little "bell" located at right side of the Subscribe button
Where do you get your wallpapers from? They are really cool.
HomePod has AirPlay 2, which works with other apps in iOS.
Hey Dave Lee -- Are you going to review the LG V30 ??
Would love to hear your take on it, and your thoughts on how it compares to the Pixel 2 (esp since LG also made the Pixel 2), and possibly vs Sammy Note 8 (or S8+) as well !
Dave I'm always impressed at your videos and the sheer lack of jumpcuts. bravo good sir!
Also, I'm waiting for first rounds of 2XLs to go out so the teething issues are addressed for round 2. Good idea or no? I'm usually the first to throw money at google but this year $850 is steep even if I trade my 6P in.
clean content and to the point opinion is the reason why i always look out for your videos.. keep up the amazing work ..:)
Dave, they're called the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. You should include that in your video title and description or people may pass over this video when looking for videos about the new devices
When is the 7577 review coming up ? Im looking to buy one
