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 has som...
Beautifully made, Stunning highres screen, Feels very fast, Chrome OS is maintenancefree, Unexpectedly rich speakers
Expensive, Chrome OS limited, Underwhelming battery life, Easy to get it running warm, Keyboard feels a little dead
Buying Guide 25 best laptops in the world The Google Chromebook Pixel is a £1,049/US$1,299 (around AU$1,264) laptop that enables you to run a web browser and needs a connection to the internet to do much, yet doesn't have a built-in cellular connection. I...
The slick-looking, Intel-powered Google Chromebook Pixel combines the touch screen support of Windows 8 with the MacBook Pro's high-res Retina display. It also includes three years of free 1TB cloud storage, and has a 4G LTE option
Pricing starts at a lofty $1,299; Web-based Chrome OS requires you to be online to do most tasks; Web apps can't yet compare to most Windows or Mac software, especially for media-centric activities like video
Despite impressive hardware specs and solid industrial design, the Chromebook Pixel's high price and cloud OS limitations make it impossible to recommend for the vast majority of users....
Excellent Design, Amazing Display, Insane Battery Life, Plenty of Ports, USB Type C, Oddles of Processing Power
ChromeOS might not be suited to all users. that's literally the only negative I could come up with (and even then it's not really a negative. )
The Chromebook Pixel is easily one of the coolest things I've tested this year. The machine itself looks damn impressive, but it is the little surprises you encounter while using it that make all the difference because they add up to create one of the bes...

Google's luxury Chromebook is a stunning piece of design, but it costs far too much and doesn't last long enough away from the mains...
The very clean design of the Chromebook is impressive, and the high-resolution touchscreen really brings computing to life. For example, if I was using Google Maps and went into Street View, by putting it into full-screen mode it's almost like being there...

Brilliant screen display, good touch response, great keyboard, excellent design and build quality
Rather heavy, expensive, not everyone will like the 3:2 aspect ratio display, battery life could be better, lack of support for core business apps
The Chromebook Pixel looks and feels like a high quality device, and it foreshadows a revolution in computing. But the price tag is very high for a laptop that is currently so restricted in terms of software....

Comes with 1TB Google Drive for 3 years, LTE on board, Brilliant screen
Only four hours of battery life, Issues with keyboard, fan noise, Too expensive
So, taking everything into account, how does this machine fare overall? The Chromebook Pixel LTE is appealing in the same way that £100 chopsticks made of carbon fibre are appealing. Yes, they will do all the things that chopsticks are expected do, like...
The clue is in the name, as the Pixel’s display is jam-packed with them. Put simply, it’s the best we’ve ever seen on a laptop. Measuring in at 12.85-inches, and packing in a ludicrous 2560x1700 resolution screen that rivals even the Retina-equipped MacBook Pro, the Pixel’s screen takes an unconventional 3:2 aspect ratio, yet it makes perfect sense for the web. Browsing sites is easy on the ultra
Unfortunately, all that horsepower the Google Chromebook Pixel is packing is essentially overkill for a browser-based OS. The hardware specs are something you’d more likely find on a decent Windows 8 machine, yet paying over £1200 for a gorgeous laptop that is severely limited by its operating system seems just too much - you can’t run any native apps, only web apps and games which will run in th
Simply put, the Google Chromebook Pixel is a testament to what Google, a software company, can achieve when it tries its hand at hardware. It’s an attractive laptop with the best screen we’ve ever seen, plus super-fast innards. But ultimately, what let...
