Acer Chromebook Pixel

Chromebook

By now, we have a pretty good sense of what a Chromebook is and where it fits into our digital worlds. They’re relatively cheap laptops that over-perform for their price because there’s so little extra software junk to slow things down. They top the list of best sellers on Amazon. They can do a lot of things, but they can’t do everything. They’re great second computers.

But the Pixel is something different: a Chromebook that makes the case that it doesn’t need to be your second laptop; it can be your only laptop. Or at least, thats the promise we thought Google was making two years ago, when it introduced the original Pixel. But maybe thats the wrong way to look at it. In reality, virtually everybody is going to run into spots where they need something that Chrome OS can’t quite offer. Unless you’re so deeply bought into Google’s vision of how the web and how computing should work that you’re willing to suffer through the parts that it’s not good at (yet?), it doesn’t make sense for you to spend upwards of a thousand dollars on a Pixel. And that’s how much this spare, beautiful machine with a high-resolution touchscreen costs: $999.

I don’t know who the new Chromebook Pixel is for, but I know that I want one.
