The new Chromebook Pixel costs $999, and with that, users get an Intel Core i5 processor, 8 GB of RAM and a 32 GB SSD. That may seem like a ridiculously small amount of storage, but it’s worth remembering that this is a Chromebook, and is designed to be connected to the internet for most of its functionality. Don’t expect to use it for storing massive files.
People who need more power can purchase a “LS” model (short for “Ludicrous Speed“) with a Core i7 processor and 64 GB of flash storage for $1299.
It also comes with a higher resolution touchscreen, along with a pair of USB Type-C ports to provide power, device connectivity and the ability to drive external displays. If that connector sounds familiar, it’s the same port that Apple used in its new, ultra-slim MacBook. (It also includes two USB ports and a SD card reader.) The device will run for about 12 hours on a single charge, and users can pick up about 2 hours worth of battery life if they leave it alone to charge for 15 minutes……….
