Doubt it. #SurfacePro  is cheaper and runs Windows apps. This thing doesn't even run Linux or Android apps. I want all of this just to run Chrome and Google Docs? Pfft. Maybe if I could put Windows 8 on it.

$1299? I literally laughed out loud.

Nice device. But just like Glass. I will wait until us without Brinks Pockets can have it in scope. 

Gonna stay away from this. Maybe next time. 

Why is everyone complaining? If there was an Android tablet with these specs, it would cost around this price (and the add-on keyboard would be another $100-200). All people do is complain these days. Yeah, I can't afford one, but I'm glad Google is putting out awesome products.

+Zachary Toliver If it was an Android LAPTOP with these specs, we wouldn't be complaining because Android has these neat things called applications.

+Zachary Toliver No Complaints here. Just said I could not afford one. They are nice though. 

+James Russell are you not aware of web apps and their ability moving.forward? Installing an app in a few years will be laughable since the cloud will have.more computing ability than any computer you could buy

There are no android apps that I know a company uses on big scale.

In contrary to web apps.

As soon as bandwidth catches up....web apps will be better than localized computing

+James Russell ChromeOS has as many applications as you need for a desktop OS. If you're able to put all the pieces together you'd realize that Android and Chrome have a high chance of merging this year and this would probably one of the first devices to get that update. Current Android apps would be horribly optimized for this screen. 

I dont think they ever merge... 

They did this to show what Chromebooks can be not to sell a bunch. They have the Samsung and Acer ones for sales. I can also see an arm version at half the cost. Now when you go into a Google Store later this year they can have high end, mid, and low end Chromebooks for everyone!

I doubt it'll do well.

Integrating Dalvik into ChromeOS doesn't seem beyond the realms of imagination to me.  That would be my guess.  Having Android apps running on ChromeOS desktop alongside web apps would work well on the Pixel touchscreen I think.

+Jacob Burrell I think it will DO very well. Will it sell millions?   No, I doubt it. But I also doubt that's the point...at least at this time.

+Andrew Mair youd need to have offline app packages installed. The whole idea of just opening ANY chromebook or chrome browser, log in and start working would not be possible.

+Evan Schiltz Of course, however I don't think it will necessarily accomplish what Google is trying to accomplish with this.

Motorola X phone, trade in my current Nexus 7 for a new Nexus 7 HD, and a Chromebook Pixel.  Should be a fun 6 months.

I heard they'll start charging for that terabyte cloud storage on the third year?

Google needs to unify android and chrome os. If pixel ran android apps I think you would hear more excitement from people

Agreed, the cloud and web apps are going to expand more and eventually we will rely more in the cloud than before. However having off-line apps and apps we already know(android) would draw up more excitement and less complaints on price. I'd buy one now if that was the case. What does happen after the third year?

+Mashable Thank you for being so unbiased in your news feeds. Eff the rest....

This is a shot across Microsoft's bow. A touch enabled laptop in the same month as the Surface. My guess is Google will be pushing a bunch of "apps" to augment this machine - and to blunt MS's push. Google's entire revenue model has MS spooked. They can afford to break even on the hardware and make it up in advertising, which MS has no way to match. Terabytes of cloud storage. The off-web functionality is the sticking point - but otherwise they are calling MS's bluff and raising them a terabyte. MS wants to go to a monthly revenue model with cloud computing - and Google wants to beat them to the punch. This is just one shoe dropping ...

+Michael Lambert Whatever keeps innovation and progress of technology moving forward than by all means. What would this world be with just one technological powerhouse? 1984 all over again lol. 

pretty sure it's a very cool product, price is high, it is worthwhile for some heavy internet users

Merging Android and Chrome to terminate MS' monopoly in laptop market is definitely a step Google should take as soon as possible.

Cloud only works if you get to it. 

A $1300 web browser... eeeh.. no

A waist of money. What % of the population has constant high speed internet access? 

+Zoqy Travel & Lifestyle Blog I don't think anyone would pay that much if he or she is sufferring to get internet access. It can be viable in the buisness market where You have access anyway. The other thing, however, is that shitty glossy display. I don't understand these displays. Anti-glare ones are just much better to use in terms of work.  This laptop is for work rather than checking my social network profiles.

I rather buy MacBook Air. :-) I'm serious. 

I'm afraid it may fail, along with the ubuntu lappy. Asking prices for both are ridiculous.

+Zachary Toliver The thing is, Chromebook is not really a computer. It runs a half-baked operating system built around a god damn browser. Compare this to 13 inch MacBook Pro with Retina display, which can run so many professional apps that can take full advantage of the high-res display, and much more. Chrome web apps are garbage in comparison. 

ikk mene wa

+Jun Hyeon Mun Chromebook pixel is not for you at all. 

I don't like this flow towards apps. The are so limited.
