Google's Pixelbook Pen Escalates the Futuristic Feel of the Slate

— December 10, 2018 — Tech
In accompaniment of the versatile Pixel Slate that was launched this year, Google has updated its offerings with the Pixelbook Pen, a smart accessory that enables consumers to truly get the most of the experience.

The Pixelbook Pens are offered in two simple colorways: black and white, with both variations boasting a streamlined and modern look. Apart from making it easier to draw on the slate and access smaller keys, the Pixelbook pen works with the integrated Google Assistant feature. The pen is able to activate this when consumers press the button and then use it to circle images or text that they'd like further information on. With pressure sensitivity and a seamless feel that makes the experience seem like "pen on paper," the pen is ideal for taking notes, annotating PDFs, or using the many art apps that are offered through the Google Play store.

The Pixelbook Pen words with both the Pixelbook and Pixel Slate, and is currently available for online ordering and from Google's many in-store retailers.
