The Chromebook Pixel Is The Most Brilliant Laptop You’ll Never Buy | TechCrunch

Excerpt from an insightful Pixel review; on balance very positive, imho, for a version 1.0 high-end device

"All it took was holding it for about five seconds to realize that this Chromebook was very different. It was actually well made. My tweets that evening sent some people into a tizzy. Yes, I really liked this thing. A Google product! (Of course I have plenty of times before and have always said I would if it was a good product.)
But the true test came the past few days. I have not used my MacBook since I got this Chromebook. No, I’m not making some grand statement there — I simply wanted to see if I could possibly use a Chromebook as my primary machine.
There’s good and bad news:
Yes, I could.
No, I won’t."
