The editors didn't like
This is an awesome rig saddled with an albatross of a price tag. Even if the limited potential functionality of Chrome OS didn't turn you off
Paying $1300-1450 for it probably will. And even given as much time as I spend on the Internet
Dropping $1300 o
Average battery life
Chrome OS is still severely limited
Price is a deal-breaker
Runs a bit hot
No USB 3.0 ports
As of this writing
The touchscreen
The trackpad
And the CPU are all under-utilized by Chrome OS
The Internet is still catching up to high-density displays
Pricing starts at a lofty $1
299
Web-based Chrome OS requires you to be online to do most tasks
Web apps can't yet compare to most Windows or Mac software
Especially for media-centric activities like video
Expensive
Interface not optimized for touch
App selection could be better
Experienced some instability
Below-average battery life
Lacks USB 3.0 support
Shockingly expensive for a Chromebook
Finite offline functionality
Lackluster battery life
USB 2.0
Not 3.0
Only four hours battery life. Some reverberations from keyboard and chassis at high volume levels. Aside from the light bar and piano hinge
It's blocky like like a reference model from the mid 2000s. Only 64GB of local storage. No USB 3.0 ports. Internet
Chrome OS limits users to Web apps
Chrome OS window management can be frustrating
Premium price
Limited OS
Poor usability in Offline Mode
Pricey
Chrome OS Has Limited Functionality
No USB 3.0
Meager local storage capacity
Uninspired design
Short battery life
Overpriced
Chrome OS dependent on Internet
Power connector should be magnetic
Rather heavy
Not everyone will like the 3
2 aspect ratio display
Battery life could be better
Battery life won't get you through a full workday. Most websites and webbased apps aren't fully ready for touch input. Chrome OS needs more gestures support
Too. Not all desktop apps can be matched in the browser. USB 2.0 instead of USB 3.0 makes no sens
Limited OS functionality
Poor battery life
High cost
Playback of 2048 x 1536 resolution video or higher can result in slight stuttering

The Chromebook Pixel is a good laptop, definitely worth a look. But it's unlikely to be the right laptop for lots of people. It has a beautiful display and amazing build quality, but poor battery life. And the Chrome OS is limited. An interesting conc...

If you’ve never used a Chrome OS laptop before, the Pixel is not the model you should start with. It’s the best Chrome OS device released to date. It’s the fastest, features the best build quality, has a better display than you’re likely to find on vir...

Again, it depends on what youre looking for in a laptop. Similarly speced Windows 8 Ultrabooks retail for less, and you can pick up a refurbished MBP (or tricked out MBA) for about the same. So if you need a "full-function" workstation or cant stand th...

Despite impressive hardware specs and solid industrial design, the Chromebook Pixel’s high price and cloud OS limitations make it impossible to recommend for the vast majority of users.
