I want a Chromebook Pixel, who's with me?

**Chetan Takyar** · 02-27-2013, 12:20 AM

I love the thing it looks ******* epic and the screen is awesomeness(with touch) and as for internet I have 90mbps down and 50 up so I'm sorted with google drive

**JOHNGAETANO** · 02-27-2013, 12:09 PM

I ordered one. I don't care about the price.... I want the Pixel.

**ChuckG73** · 02-27-2013, 03:40 PM

I have ordered the LTE version and could not be happier. Just wish I did not have to wait until April 10th.

I WANT IT, but I can't buy it because I don't have money

Well I'm not trolling. I actually hate Apple. But...

Why not order a Macbook Pro with high res. display and install both Windows AND Chrome?

I wanted the LTE version, but I couldn't wait. Got my Wi-Fi version today. So freaking geeked out right now.

Maybe I'll trade it in for the LTE version next month.

Waiting is the hardest part

Wish I could afford one, my Series 5 is getting pretty long in the tooth.

I keep going to buy one and then convince myself to wait for google io in May.

Why not every single laptop on earth that has ever existed? O.o

**return_0** · 03-11-2013, 08:32 PM

I would buy this in a heartbeat if my more sensible side didn't tell me to save my money.

**jmunster** · 03-12-2013, 03:39 PM

I have an LTE model on order! Still love my Samsung ARM chromebook which is keeping me company during the wait.

Where I'm at. I love the idea of the Pixel but find it terribly overpriced considering the limitations of Chrome OS at this point. Hope the existence of the Pixel means that we get more third-party work done on developing apps for Chrome OS that are going to call for super flashy hardware like that.

Yea I think Google just needed to get a premium product out there, lose money on it, but develop a base to build on. Right now to me it makes zero sense to get one compared to a better priced PC with way more functionality. I'd love to be able to step off the M$ bandwagon but for that I might as well just try Linux.

Or buy a Pixel and dual boot Linux!

I'll admit that the Pixel is an expensive piece of machinery and a comparable Windows 8 laptop can be had for about $700-800, but you do lose out on some things (display quality, unibody aluminum, Chrome OS and uniquely designed keyboard set up for Chrome OS, etc). For me, I see the Pixel as a device that is ahead of it's time and will inspire other OEMs to create mid-higher end Chromebooks. I may end up buying a Pixel later in the year after Google I/O because it does make sense to me, but I also know I'm paying a bit more for something that should only cost around $999. The one nice thing is with any Chromebook currently, is that you're inspiring and influencing how Chrome OS is designed and implemented. You ARE a co-designer for this operating system. There are things on the Pixel (touch screen) that aren't on any other Chromebook currently so certain features to alter have to be influenced by Pixel owners. Personally I don't see myself going back to a traditional laptop ever again. The only thing I would say is that I still retain a desktop at home for gaming and local file storage just in case (thanks Chrome Remote Desktop).

I agree it depends on who you are but the connectivity issue is huge for me. Providers charge so much for bandwidth Is hate to have to rely on it. After a few years of catching on it will definitely become more attractive to the main stream. Android is linux based so you can probably find a distro that is very similar!

Agreed. It will most likely take Google Fiber to become more widespread and the rest of the internet providers to get their asses in gear.
