That’s the feelings I get from reading fifteen paragraphs from ZDnet about the Chromebook Pixel.
However, the biggest difference most people will notice between a Pixel and an average laptop is simply the price. People will accept cut-down functionality at a cut-down price, but combine cut-down functionality with an asking price larger than a MacBook Pro’s and it all starts to make a lot less sense.
And there it is: either buy a piece of junk for significantly less, or buy something great for just a little more.
