Google recently
launched their own laptop called the Chromebook Pixel. A one of a kind laptop
in the market with an initial price of 1,299 USD for Wi-Fi only and 1,499 USD
for 4G LTE with Verizon. This is a really expensive laptop in the market but
has some unique features and the Chrome browser-based OS.
The Screen:
It has a high
definition touchscreen with a 12.85-inch, 2560x1700 display. Beautiful
touchscreen that is a big competitor for the Retina Display.
On the inside:
On the inside it
has 1.8GHz Intel Core i5 processor with an integrated HD 4000
graphics. It has two USB 2.0 ports, a combined microphone and
headphone jack, a SD card slot, and the battery lasts five hours with typical
usage.
In conclusion, the new
Chromebook Pixel is a high end laptop with a price. Has a beautiful touchscreen
and puts Google in the laptop market race. I think the Chrome OS still needs
more work but other than that this is a pretty good laptop. The Wi-Fi versions
are now available but the 4G LTE versions will be available in April.
