Something cool coming for you Chromebook fans (disclaimer: I am a Chromebook user and fan!) enter the Chomebook Pixel (2015) – But don’ expect your typical sub $300 laptop as this bad boy will run you over $1,000! Sadly at this price range I suspect that those interested will quickly stop drooling and run to the nearest Apple store!
Available for purchase (in select regions) via Google Play (see Device section), this sweet Chromebook boasts speedy bootup, built-in virus protection, seamless updates, touch, swipe and pinch zoom, 4.3 million pixel resolution, 12.8″ screen, a backlit keyboard and much more!
