This ultra portable Pixel Chromebook has plenty of power for multi-tasking, web-browsing and video watching running without a stumble. Considering that the device cannot support any latest and greatest games and not available on the Chrome OS the power back up should not be an issue.

You can squeeze out close to 12 hours from the Pixel's inaccessible battery pack which is justifiable given the total number of pixels it has to put up.
