Goodbye Old Friend

I really, really don't like to give up on things but it seems it's time to say goodbye to my original Pixelbook.

I bought the Pixelbook in 2018, it went with me to the US. It was a mixture laptop laptop and tablet, with touch screen and a hinge that folds the screen right back it worked well as a media device.

Just recently it's given to randomly shutting down. Checking various forums suggest that the battery is dead. With the slimline design of the Pixelbook the battery, of course, is not designed to be replaced so the device is now e-waste.
