When LG unveiled a 2.2 pound notebook with a 15.6 inch display a few years ago, I was intrigued.

Google Pixel 2 Review: Software
Google’s Pixel 2 smartphones have some pretty strong hardware including excellent cameras, good displays, 4GB of RAM, at lest 64GB of storage, and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 processor.
