Don't be condescending. I'm as sophisticated as any computer user has ever been and my Pixelbook Go is my daily driver, not the laptop I bought for my mom. It's just better in ways that matter. No fan. Epic battery life. Software updates in 2 seconds, not 2 hours. Wakes so fast that it's up and running and on wifi before the lid is even open. Has a terminal and an X11 server and a web browser, the only things I require. Survives being attached to external monitors and audio devices. Does not have useless little software buttons above the keyboard. Better touchpad gesture detection than even a Mac. Can powerwash it in 1 second if I ever want to sell it.

It's a platform with a lot going for it.
