I chose a Chromebox because I wanted to try out Chrome OS, but I didn't like the Chromebooks that were out on the market.
I wanted a Chromebook with a really nice screen and a backlit keyboard. The Chromebook Pixel met those requirements, but it's expensive. The other Chromebooks that I looked at seemed to compromise in other areas.
I bought an Asus Chromebox and hooked it up to a monitor that I had in the house, and it's been working out great. I use a backlit keyboard that's wireless.
I haven't ruled out buying a Chromebook in the future. I would be interested in a refresh of the Pixel at a lower price point, but I don't know if Google will ever release a new version.
