New Chromebook Pixel!

Looks amazing, Crouton has come a long way towards providing a full desktop environment running inside ChromeOS

My biggest detractor was that the last Chromebook (not the pixel) I was looking at sported an ARM processor, but this one has an i5 (or i7 for the LS edition)

Couldn't find it on https://store.google.com/ also Dell XPS 13 seems better imo

haha yeah that was weird, I don't know why I couldn't find it on the Google Store either. Maybe it's US only

I can order the i5 at £799 but not the i7 at £999.

32 or 64GB SSD though. Rubbish.

Yeah that's worrying, but regular laptops you could always swap it out. I'm guessing you can't do that in a Chromebook Pixel?

[a_5mith]

@julian Technically you could replace everything. It's just whether it goes back together as well.

I hear the new macbook's batteries are glued in, and you have to spend time with isopropyl alcohol to get it loose :shipit:

Ain't nobody got time for that.

Youtube embedding turned off or something?

@a_5mith yeah wasn't installed. Installed/activated youtube lite now.
