Chromebook Pixel: A netbook to challenge the notebooks

Postby dedanna1029 » 08 Mar 2013, 13:35

Continuing from HP launches chromebook in a way, another take on this little baby from Reuters MediaFile:
So, naturally, I had to see for myself. After using it for four days, I’m not convinced this product is ready for mass adoption. That isn’t because the Chromebook Pixel is a joke, or a toy; it’s as solid a performer as any full-featured computer I’ve used. But it’s going to take a few generations to make this netbook a true contender in a notebook world. At $1,300 or more, this Pixel is clearly an early adopter’s plaything with a price point to prove it.

As an FYI, I'm done using straight links to news or op stories - there are way too many ads on them, which distract the reader from the content of the story. From here on, it's the print link, not the original, as much as possible (some it just doesn't work on to display the page, or they don't have print links to click).
I'd rather be a free person who fears terrorists, than be a "safe" person who fears the government.
