![]() On the other hand, this smaller size works in its favour when you need to use it as a tablet. ![]() As a result, there isn't quite enough screen real-estate to effectively use multiple on-screen windows at the same time, despite the fact that window snapping is an option. It's closer in size to hybrid tablets like the iPad Pro or Surface Pro, and it shares the latter's 3:2 aspect ratio. The screen measures 12.3in across the diagonal, which is comparatively petite for a laptop they tend to start at around 13in. This compactness also applies to the display. At 10.3mm thin, it's a sliver of a thing, and the 1.1kg weight means it's eminently portable - perfect for slinging in a bag and taking to meetings. These are minor niggles, though overall, the Pixelbook is an absolutely gorgeous machine. It's made from Gorilla Glass, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue if you're careful with it, but it's still at greater risk than a metal unibody would be. There's also the fact that the glass panel is more vulnerable to cracking than a standard aluminium shell. White rubber in particular has a tendency to discolour with age, as well as being more susceptible to picking up stains, scratches and other blemishes. First of all, although the white rubber wrist-rests look lovely when you first take the Pixelbook out of the box, we're concerned about how clean it's likely to stay. However, we do have a couple of concerns about the design.
