Google killin' it right now.

I wonder if anything you record from the Glass imports directly to the Pixel?

You would think that the battery life on this would be greater than 5 hours.
First impressions, nice machine, way overpriced and because of that I don't see it selling well at all.

People don't see Google products as a status symbol so they're not willing to overpay for something that just looks nice (shots fired at Apple)

The price point is terrible you can get a high end Windows or a Macbook Air for the price/less. if this was 499 it would have been a Game changer.

 

[whyhellothere]

Overpriced Web browser is beyond over priced.
They've got five different chromebooks and only one worth getting is the $250 Samsung

 

[dipsetgeneral]

I'ma jus' cop a MacBook. Not bad specs though.

 

[unknwn]

They started out as a search engine and now this... insane

 

[thunderchunk69]

12 hunna. nah

they're trying to go after that hipster sheep crowd

 

[DPancakes]

$12.99? Copped.

 

[luckyluchiano]

I think I'm gonna cop the 250 Samsung joint though for school instead of an air, and get an iMac when my mbp dies, or heck for 250 just get one for the hell of it.

 

[liltank0206]

looks very nice but i aint eem finna pay that much for it

 

[whyhellothere]

lulz @ no pinch to zoom on a $1300 device.

 

[itshlittt]

meh

 

[nawghtyhare]

Looks ok BUT I'm really waiting on that google glass thingy

 

[sir charles]

$1,300 for a glorified netbook?

Nah

 

[Bert.]

lol'd at $1300




you can buy a macbook at the exact price...

 

[shogun]

They're crazy for setting that price. I'd buy a real laptop instead that doesn't rely so much on an internet connection.

 

[andee]

$1300 for 4GB of DDR3 and no USB 3.0 ports. EZ pass

 

[DrizzyNYC]

Those specs for that price, yuck. More of a rip off than a Mac....
