Smartphones are even more ubiquitous now, while Windows devices and Macbooks retain their own strengths, particularly with regards to professional applications, productivity, multitasking or the Windows UI. Android's versatility remains a strength, and the Pixelbooks powerful hardware delivered a quality user experience, but that was in 2017. If Chromebooks are removed though, the market actually grew by 3.3%.

That kind of growth was unsustainable, and as we reported back in April, worldwide PC shipments fell by 7.3% in the first quarter of 2022 (opens in new tab). Chromebook sales boomed during the early days of the pandemic, as parents scrambled to buy affordable laptops for kids forced to learn from home during long lockdown periods. The post-pandemic downturn in the PC market is surely one of those factors. The next Pixelbook was reportedly in the later stages of its development, indicating other factors contributed to its cancellation. With Pixelbooks launching at $999/£999 (opens in new tab) and going up to $1,699/£1,699 it was always going to be a tough sell in a competitive market. But that combination relegated it to niche status.

At its heart it's still a Chromebook, and that made it difficult to generate enough interest to compete with the likes of Macbooks or Microsoft's Surface.ĭespite the tough competition, the Pixelbook showed off what a Chromebook was really capable of, combining a high spec and premium design with the Chrome OS and full Android support. The ViewSonic monitor is available on Amazon as well, but it costs $247 even for a used model - so $220 for a brand new one is kind of insane.Well-made Chromebooks-which are ostensibly budget laptops-made it difficult for Google to justify the premium price of the Pixelbook.

Dell's S2721DGFA and LG's 27GL850 monitors are normally the best value options, thanks to their advanced Fast IPS screens, but you have to pay significantly more for these - $369 for the LG 27GL850 and $400 for the Dell S2721DGFA. I normally like to look online for comparable monitors to give you an idea of the value, but here it's really hard to find anything close. The only negatives noted are in relation to its lack of extra gaming features - which most people don't use, from my experience - and its bad ergonomics - which can be solved with an inexpensive monitor arm attached to the ViewSonic's 100x100 VESA mount. They also cited its use for content creators, with excellent sRGB and Adobe RGB coverage, wide viewing angles and impressive peak brightness for an IPS-type monitor. Trusted Canadian outlet RTings reviewed the monitor and said it offered 'a great gaming experience' thanks to excellent pixel response times, low input lag and FreeSync support for PC and Xbox gamers. Looking at reviews for this model online, this may be the best gaming monitor deal we've found all year. This 'Shell Shocker' sale ends in just a few hours, so do pick this up if you're in the market for a high-end gaming monitor at bargain basement prices! It's rare to see a legitimately good 1440p 144Hz monitor for less than $250, but right now ViewSonic's VX2758-2KP-MHD is on sale at Newegg for $220 - a stunning $110 (33%) reduction from its original price of $330.
