The clue is in the name, as the Pixel’s display is jam-packed with them. Put simply, it’s the best we’ve ever seen on a laptop. Measuring in at 12.85-inches, and packing in a ludicrous 2560x1700 resolution screen that rivals even the Retina-equipped MacBook Pro, the Pixel’s screen takes an unconventional 3:2 aspect ratio, yet it makes perfect sense for the web. Browsing sites is easy on the ultra
Unfortunately, all that horsepower the Google Chromebook Pixel is packing is essentially overkill for a browser-based OS. The hardware specs are something you’d more likely find on a decent Windows 8 machine, yet paying over £1200 for a gorgeous laptop that is severely limited by its operating system seems just too much - you can’t run any native apps, only web apps and games which will run in th
Simply put, the Google Chromebook Pixel is a testament to what Google, a software company, can achieve when it tries its hand at hardware. It’s an attractive laptop with the best screen we’ve ever seen, plus super-fast innards. But ultimately, what let...
Unfortunately for Google the Chromebook Pixel is grounded by the OS, but make no mistake they’ve crafted one beautiful computer. We’ve always had a hard time recommending or giving a thumbs up overall to a Chromebook of any type, except for someone th...

Shockingly expensive for a Chromebook, Finite offline functionality, Lackluster battery life, USB 2.0, not 3.0
Google's Chrome OS experiment strikes off in a bold new direction with a super-premium Chromebook featuring a better-than-Retina display. It's a pleasure to use, but only if you're 100 percent committed to the cloud. ...
Beautifully made, Stunning highres screen, Feels very fast, Chrome OS is maintenancefree, Unexpectedly rich speakers
Expensive, Chrome OS limited, Underwhelming battery life, Easy to get it running warm, Keyboard feels a little dead
Buying Guide 25 best laptops in the world The Google Chromebook Pixel is a £1,049/US$1,299 (around AU$1,264) laptop that enables you to run a web browser and needs a connection to the internet to do much, yet doesn't have a built-in cellular connection. I...

Google's new Chromebook Pixel is a tool. It is designed to handle one thing – the Web – better than any other product. And it's successful. It renders websites with incredible sharpness, and the Core i5 processor can handle multiple tabs without breakin...

Comes with 1TB Google Drive subscription for three years. Comes with LTE service (100MB/month). Brilliant screen. Backlit keyboard. Boots and runs quickly. 12 free Gogo Internet passes. Self-updating. Cloud everything.
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
The Google Chromebook Pixel (64GB, LTE) is a luxury laptop that needs Internet access to work at its best. If you already use a pricey mutli-GB Verizon 4G LTE data plan and have ready access to power, the Chromebook Pixel makes sense. However, it's got s...
Ecran très haute définition (2560 x 1700 pixels), Design très soigné (métal, verre, etc.), Clavier rétroéclairé, Système Chrome OS rapide et sécurisé
Stockage local trop faible, Peu de logiciels disponibles sous Chrome OS, Très cher pour un "super navigateur web", Fonctionnalités très réduites en mode hors ligne
Google Chromebook PixelA l'issu du test du Chromebook Pixel, notre bilan est en demi-teinte. La machine est un modèle de conception et de finition – certains constructeurs pourraient en prendre de la graine – et la qualité de son écran et son ergonomi...
Hefty price tag, display aspect makes it less suited to working in tight spaces, OS not as fully featured as rivals
There's no avoiding the fact that the Chromebook Pixel is expensive. But it's also very well made and an absolute pleasure to use. Lay your fingers on the keyboard and view the world through the Pixel's high-resolution display and some of the anguis...
