[Gattsu25]

Based on the price this could be a good upgrade from my current tablet

 

[Dead Prince]

snapchat experience on the pb? lolk.

 

[Veritigo_X]

Love my Chromebook Plus, but I think I topped out what I was willing to spend on a Chromebook with that purchase. What they're asking for this thing is insane.

 

[Frustrated_me]

You seem pretty mad at Google, buddy.

Literally 1/2 this thread said the same thing, but thanks for noticing

 

[Fledz]

You seem pretty frustrated with Google, buddy.

Fixed

 

[Vanillalite]

Google really wants people to use Google Assistant.

Like to the point I'd not be surprised if they are giving our handjobs in the audience for people to shill for Google AI.

 

[DrFunk]

Many chromebooks have used core series processors. It’s just the brand name. The pixelbook may be using a better one, but that’s not solely going to explain the price. Build quality, materials, display—all these will be factored in. Ultimately it will priced against machines with which it is meant to compete.

I mean, that's a given. All I'm saying is this won't be cheap.

 

[Maxim726X]

Did he say this weighs a kg?

Pretty amazing, if true.

 

[Judge Magister Zexion]

I remember when they used to make Nexus phones and they were cheap and they were awesome. What happened to that Google?

 

[louiedog]

Like 90% of the time, and almost 100% while at home, I'm using my laptop right now it's remote access to my powerful desktop. The other 10% is pretty much all stuff I can do on a Chromebook.

I might get a Chromebook next for the Android apps on tablet functionality, but unfortunately this one is outside what I want to spend. It looks great though.

 

[Qvoth]

literally watching the stream just for the pixel
reveal it already jesus

The thing is more than often the "OK, Google" command doesn't work on my phone. I'd love to use it more often but it fails too many times.

Oh nice, it's getting Google Assistant support in the future. I'll be interested then.

I will go on record that the second Assistant starts giving handjobs, I am switching back to Android.

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

$999? That's cheaper than I expected

 

[thenexus6]

$999?

Knew it

 

[LostMyNarbles]

"Pixelbook starts at $999"...Waits for applause.

 

[nature boy]

*Starts at 999*

*Awkward silence then claps*

 

[Paznos]

$999.... with Chrome OS?

 

[The Albatross]

Decent price. Not really relevant for me as I just bought a MBP last year, but it looks cool.

 

[crazyprac]

999? Wow not bad.

Yes finally phones!

 

[Veritigo_X]

Pen isn't included? Really?

 

[daveo42]

I wonder what that actually gets you.

 

[CronoShot]

Not a terrible price for the hardware, but...it's still a Chromebook.

 

[BadTaste]

*Starts at 999*

*Awkward silence then claps*

Lol

 

[Aiii]

At that price you are still better off getting an iPad Pro imo.

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

Not a terrible price for the hardware, but...it's still a Chromebook.

Chromebooks are fantastic. Though this is still overpriced for what they are

 

[MarkusRJR]

Wow that's Surface level pricing but without any of the programs to back it up.

Wonder who's the audience for this?

 

[MisterCTwo]

$999 plus $99 for the pen?! No thanks. I'll be using my My Acer R13 Chromebook until it turns to dust.

 

[imBask]

I absolutely don't understand why you'd pay $999 for anything with ChromeOS on it

Youtube will run really fast on that thing!

 

[Alucrid]

tech conferences are way worse than video game ones

 

[Frustrated_me]

What's worse? $1000 for Chromebook or $1000 for Windows Laptop with Windows S?

 

[Vanillalite]

Price is terrible.

You can make a nicer Chromebook than the entry level stuff like Samsung showed, for like half the price.

 

[Maxim726X]

I wonder what that actually gets you.

How much do you really need, though?

I feel like 8 gig is probably overkill, but I would assume that's the base model. Maybe a 256 SSD?

 

[LumpOfCole]

$999 with a “Boot Camp” ability to load Windows would make it a tempting device, but I would never ever pay $999 for a laptop than cannot load fully decked out Photoshop.

 

[GK86]

Pixel phone times.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

I miss the strong blue.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Where's the headphone jack, though?

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Finally, Pixel.

 

[DrFunk]

Lmao already with the Dx0 rating

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Thoughtful design... without a 3.5mm jack? Yeah sure...

 

[Sauronych]

Show me those thoughtfully designed giant bezels on the smaller Pixel.

 

[Stabby McSter]

oh looks like i remembered this thread in the nick of time

 

[louiedog]

Where's the headphone jack, though?

They used up their stock of jacks in the Google Home Max.

 

[TeamLeftMatch]

"Best of hardware" but no headphone jack.

 

[Draper]

That design is atrocious

 

[mnannola]

Glass on part of the back? No thanks.

 

[Vuze]

"A bit of playfulness"

💩 💩 💩

OH YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSS no headphone jack

 

[Alucrid]

adapter. haha, no thanks. pass.
