Google Pixelbook – A High Performance Chromebook

The specifications will be released in full eventually, right now the buy link is just a waiting list. No money is exchanging hands so why does it matter if it's a Intel Core i7-7660U or a Intel Core i7-7560U Processor?

What really bothers me is I can't find the timings for the memory. I need to know that my CAS settings aren't going to hamper the performance of my cutting edge app transitions.

Kidding, we don't even know if this is using DDR3 or DDR4.

It turns out the processors are i5-7Y57 and i7-7Y75 (source B&H). Super low power year old chips. Not too optimistic about the performance as a general linux laptop.

I saw those 4.5 watt chips on Intel Ark, but I thought that maybe you could fit the 15 W models in the enclosure.

At least this probably means no fans! Oh and that it uses DDR3. :)
