WTF, This was real>>???

The WiFi version ($1,299 U.S

GET THE FUCK OUT!

 

[EightBitNate]

$1300

 

[NYCmetsfan]

That's expensive

 

[Ferrio]

I don't understand why they need to push computing power on something that uses the cloud for most it's shit.

 

[sca2511]

considering...

price. ugh.

 

[HollovVpo1nt]

 

[Frustrated_me]

LMAO $1,299

 

[gutshot]

GAMECHANG---

*sees price*

Nevermind.

 

[Wafflecakes]

I don't understand..... why would someone with that amount of $$$ to spend use it on a chromebook?

 

[Mairu]

That is ridiculously expensive for a machine that is almost entirely on the web - looks nice though

 

[TUSR]

The body of the Pixel is made from an anodized aluminum alloy to create a smooth and durable surface; vents are hidden, screws are invisible and the stereo speakers are seamlessly tucked away beneath the backlit keyboard.

Too bad the hinge and sharp corners look like shit.

How big is the internal 'SSD'?

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Sorry, no buy at that price.

I thought Chromebooks were meant to be affordable?

 

[ComputerMKII]

I don't understand why Google still tries that hard with Chromebooks.

 

[Futureman]

doesn't make any sense. What is the incentive to spend $1200 on a web computer? Need more info.

The Verge says it's a "hair thinner" than a MBA, but it looks twice as thick??

 

[Nonoriri]

Huh so it is real, neat.

 

[rezuth]

Too bad the hinge and sharp corners look like shit.

How big is the internal 'SSD'?

32GB

 

[Futureman]

I don't understand why Google still tries that hard with Chromebooks.

I think.... eventually Photoshop-like applications will be doable as web apps. We obviously aren't there yet, but I like where Goog is headed.

 

[t-ramp]

Wow, that's not very exciting to look at. And $1300? Why?

 

[TUSR]

32GB

Wow.

 

[SteveWD40]

Wtf? Would just buy a macbook at that price, what the hell are you paying for?

 

[Le-mo]

Lol at that price.

 

[gutshot]

I don't understand why Google still tries that hard with Chromebooks.

The low-cost Chromebooks are great. A fantastic little computer that does just about everything a traditional laptop can do at a fraction of the price.

This on the other hand...

 

[Jzero]

Way too expensive for a Chromebook. I could buy a pretty beefy gaming PC with that money.

 

[Row]

I do not understand the price given those specs

 

[DMczaf]

$1299

[GreatMightySymp]

Wow is that overpriced. You'd be better off getting a Macbook at that price.

 

[Aeonin]

Was excited till price. Theres a reason why the last one was selling so well on Amazon.

 

[TUSR]

You would be an idiot to buy this over a 13" rMBP w/Student Discount. Especially when Haswell hits.

 

[Des0lar]

Against

 

[tino]

A laptop as expensive as the 13" MBA but can only browser the internet.

WHA

Is this an Onion article? It has to be.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Seems overpriced. What advantage does it have over a macbook exactly?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

If a mod could correct the title to what I updated it as, that would be swell.

[t-ramp]

It's just so... generic looking.

And 3:2 aspect ratio? GTFO.

 

[Wix]

For a Chromebook which is supposed to be simple and web-based that is crazy expensive.

 

[Raistlin]

seems reasonable

 

[buhdeh]

1,299? LOL. This will bomb harder than Surface.

 

[jon bones]

I don't understand why anyone would buy this over a MacBook Air.

 

[Zeppu]

I guarantee this will be dead cheap. $200-250

Nailed it.

 

[Davidion]

I am utterly baffled by the existence of this thing. Does Google think that its cloud services are actually enough to satisfy power users? Hint: The answer to that riddle is no.

 

[markot]

Thats stupid >_<

The black looks hot.

 

[Auron_Kale]

Ehhh... That price point is horrible... Definitely wouldn't purchase that since it seems to go against what Chromebooks were all about.

I'll probably pick up the Samsung instead for playing around with, much easier to swallow that price tag versus this.

 

[TheContact]

1,300 goes in the face of everything that made the Chromebook appealing. I bet this will flop.

 

[Bboy AJ]

So Google is subsidizing the Nexus line with the suckers who buy this? Nice.

 

[buhdeh]

Nailed it.

At least you were close. You just forgot the 1 in front of your prediction.

It so damn thick! Only my girls can be thick, not my electronics:

 

[t-ramp]

It doesn't, like, fold into a tablet or anything? I'm still not sure what the point of this thing is.
