Not the only option but the one that historically gave me the best support, usually when my Apple laptop has an issue it is a couple of days out and it will come back as new. The articule talks about everything that is not a pixel phone, that includes the pixel book that cannot be fixed , and in my case the display failed, I was able to boot with an external monitor. I was out of warranty, so google told me to pay to replace, almost 60 or 70 percent of what it cost. I declined and vowed to never buy another google hardware again.
