Abstract: Yeah, we know – it doesn't run Android, and really, it has nothing to do with Android. But it is a Google product, so by default it's at least tangentially related - call it Android's cousin. It's also Google's statement that ChromeOS is important, tha...
Abstract: So I've had the Chromebook Pixel ( initial impressions ) in my possession for just over three weeks now, an amount of time I'd consider to be quite substantial in terms of being able to put some final thoughts about it on paper. While my job is to review ...
Abstract: The Pixel takes cloud computing to the next level — but the price should make you think twice before buyingMeet the Pixel. It's beautiful, powerful, filled with the tools the next-generation of the web will need, but it "just" runs Chrome OS. That's th...
Unfortunately for Google the Chromebook Pixel is grounded by the OS, but make no mistake they’ve crafted one beautiful computer. We’ve always had a hard time recommending or giving a thumbs up overall to a Chromebook of any type, except for someone th...
Stunning high-res screen, Terrific keyboard and touch pad, Elegantly trim design, 1TB of Google Drive storage free for three years
Shockingly expensive for a Chromebook, Finite offline functionality, Lackluster battery life, USB 2.0, not 3.0
Google's Chrome OS experiment strikes off in a bold new direction with a super-premium Chromebook featuring a better-than-Retina display. It's a pleasure to use, but only if you're 100 percent committed to the cloud. ...

Uninspired design, No USB 3.0, Short battery life, Overpriced
Google's new Chromebook Pixel is a tool. It is designed to handle one thing – the Web – better than any other product. And it's successful. It renders websites with incredible sharpness, and the Core i5 processor can handle multiple tabs without breakin...

Comes with 1TB Google Drive subscription for three years. Comes with LTE service (100MB/month). Brilliant screen. Backlit keyboard. Boots and runs quickly. 12 free Gogo Internet passes. Self-updating. Cloud everything.
Only four hours battery life. Some reverberations from keyboard and chassis at high volume levels. Aside from the light bar and piano hinge, it's blocky like like a reference model from the mid 2000s. Only 64GB of local storage. No USB 3.0 ports. Internet
The Google Chromebook Pixel (64GB, LTE) is a luxury laptop that needs Internet access to work at its best. If you already use a pricey mutli-GB Verizon 4G LTE data plan and have ready access to power, the Chromebook Pixel makes sense. However, it's got s...
