Google yesterday introduced it's newest Chromebook, the Pixel. It features a 12.85 inch screen, 2,560 by 1,700 pixel screen. Google says that this is "
the highest pixel density (239 pixels per inch) of any laptop screen on the market today.” In Comparison, a Mac Book Pro features a 13 inch screen with a 2,560 by 1,600 pixel screen (220 pixels per inch). The new Chromebook features a touchscreen made of Gorilla Glass, unlike Apple's. The 'Pixel' features a 5 hour battery, and according to Google, the Pixel’s chassis is made from an anodized aluminum alloy that features hidden vents, invisible screws and the stereo speakers “seamlessly tucked away beneath the backlit keyboard.” Like the other Chromebooks, it runs Chrome OS, not Android. Google is in a rather strange position, having two softwares that run off of Linux. They said that they're not sure whether or not the two will merge in the future.
When you get a Pixel it also comes with twelve free GoGo Inflight Internet passes and one terabyte of free Google Drive cloud storage for three years. The new device is priced for $1,299 for the WiFi only device, and $1,499 for a LTE model. Google's Pixel is set to ship next week and is currently accepting pre-orders via the Play Store.
What do you think? Will you buy a Pixel?
