help Google Pixelbook (2017) FAQ

Does the 2017 Google Pixelbook still receive ChromeOS updates?

Google assigns Chromebooks an Auto Update Expiration date, and the original Pixelbook's support window should be checked on Google's current AUE list. Continued operation after that point does not guarantee new security or browser updates.

Can the Pixelbook run Android and Linux applications?

The Pixelbook supports Android apps through Google Play and can use ChromeOS's Linux development environment. Compatibility and performance vary because many Android apps were designed for phones rather than a 12.3-inch laptop display.

Is the Pixelbook Pen included with a used Pixelbook?

The Pixelbook Pen was sold as a separate accessory, so it should not be assumed to be present in a used listing. It uses an AAAA battery and works with the Pixelbook's pressure-sensitive display.

Can the original Pixelbook replace a Windows or Mac laptop?

It handles web applications, Google Workspace, Android apps, and many Linux tools, but it cannot natively run ordinary Windows or macOS software. The 2017 hardware also lacks the performance and support horizon of a modern Chromebook Plus model.
