Unlike the first Chromebook designed by partners such as HP, Samsung, Acer with its C7 machines are sold between 300 and 500 euros, the pixels aims upmarket with a neat finish.
This is the finest of all the Chromebook with 16 mm thick, it is relatively lightweight (1.5 kg) and offers all anodized aluminum frame. Angles are marked only the hinge is made of a little rounded to all closed.
A multicolor light bar takes place on the hood. The usefulness? The same confession of Google, it's just there for fun. Once opened you discover a keyboard type "chiclet" backlit touchpad.
We will focus further on the screen but we note that HD camera 720 takes place just at the top with two microphones and a light sensor. It will only adjust the brightness of the screen can not be adjusted manually via Chrome OS.
Components and connectors
The pixels Chromebook is powered by an Intel Core i5 Dual Core 1.8GHz and uses the graphics solution Intel HD Graphics 4000. They are supported by 4 GB of RAM. Side storage there is a SSD of 32 GB or 64
To expand the storage possibilities it will take the memory card reader SD / MMC or 2 ports USB 2.0 but Google is trying to highlight its Cloud solution since 1TB is available for 3 years on Google Drive.

Prices, versions and small defects
Difficult to conclude after a simple grip of pixels Chromebook is a device slightly apart with its Chrome OS operating system. It will appeal primarily to those who are willing to make extensive use of Google services connected to the mode of cloud computing.
We notice some flaws that can be corrected with updates to Chrome OS as lack of memory if you have many applications open simultaneously. Rather than the cache on the SSD, the Chrome OS automatically recharge.
Also, the system still lacks customization options and settings like brightness that was mentioned above. Web applications are also less responsive than traditional applications or software.
The Google Chromebook pixels still leaves a good impression thanks to its quality screen and a Chrome OS is designed to be connected and which, despite its youth, to perform many tasks.
Two different models of Chromebook Pixels are or will be available. The entrance fee is currently known only in dollars because the sale is limited to the United States. It will cost 1299 dollars for the 32GB version, and from the month of April, 1499 dollars for a 64GB version with 4G LTE chip.
