too expensive
dont think apple will make the macbook touchscreen until they fix the fingerprint magnet that is mac glossy screens

Add Google Chromebook to the growing list of EPIC Google failures!

This thing is a fucking joke

It looks like a sexy, fast machine, but what's the use of all that power without the large apps that go along with a mainstream operating system?
- this. if it doesn't run adobe products, i can't make the switch.lvl_13
- You could get a MacBook Air, save money, do everything a PC/Mac does, PLUS have Google browsermonospaced
- but sacrifice resolution and touchscreenmonospaced
- the touchscreen is the aha factor for me though.lvl_13

One commenter on the Wired article wrote: "1300 bucks for a dang browser. WTH." I kinda agree.

Looks like a seriously awesome piece of hardware.
But the fact that it runs the Chrome OS is severely limiting. Like you guys have said, so much power wrapped in a nice machine that is essentially a glorified web browser.

I like how YouTube is considered a "feature"
Pixel's bright and colorful high resolution display makes videos on YouTube more stunning and engaging.

I mostly use my Macbook for development. Most of the apps I use are web apps, so this can be a really good setup for me. I was seriously considering upgrading my now 2 years old Macbook to the upcoming version in June, but now I might consider GPixel.
I like that it has 1 terabyte of free space for 3 years & 200 mgbs/months LTE Verizon

How would you develop without an FTP program? Or nice code editing software etc
