The title sounds harsh, and it is. You’ll see why as we go along.
Google has released a laptop called the Chromebook Pixel which runs the Google Chrome OS. It looks hot, but I’d rate this a must pass. Why? It starts at $1300. Are you kidding me? That kind of money for a netbook? I can get a MacBook which is a real computer unlike this thing for that kind of money.

It also only comes with 32GB of storage. Want more storage, unless you’re willing to pay for storing it on Google Drive and you want to be tethered to a net connection, you’re out of luck. Oh, I’ll point out the base MacBook Air comes with twice that storage for less money. And it’s a real computer.

Here’s the bottom line. If this were $300… Maybe $500 at the most, I might be interested. But at $1300 to start, it’s way overpriced. Do yourself a favour and ignore this completely. It’s not worth your time to even think about.
Google must seriously be smoking crack if they think they can sell any of these.
