No support for the original Pixel? It's more powerful than quite a few on the list. Damn.

- tjalex 10y agoMine feels like it's slowly turning into a paperweight. :\
- mdaniel 10y agoI haven't personally tried it, but I think that the majority of ChromeOS is open source, and in theory the bits that aren't (maybe bios, network drivers, video drivers, etc.) will likely be on your existing Chromebook. Maybe surf around the XDA forums and see if anyone has insight into the matter: http://forum.xda-developers.com/hardware-hacking/chromebooks http://forum.xda-developers.com/hardware-hacking/chromebooks

- supercanuck 10y agoI think having a touch screen is important.
- mitoyarzun 10y agoThe original Pixel has a touchscreen.
- icebraining 10y agoI've used my Android tablet exclusively with a mouse for more than a month, it works fine. With a multitouch touchpad, it should be even better.
- eugeneionesco 10y agoNowhere says there is not support for the original Pixel. It just does not get it at this point just like other chromebooks. >Google Play will start rolling out in the developer channel with M53 on the ASUS Chromebook Flip, the Acer Chromebook R 11 and the latest Chromebook Pixel. Over time, this will roll out to other Chromebooks in the market too

- sohkamyung 10y agoAccording to Ars Technica, the list of compatible Chromebooks appears to be age based. Older Chromebook devices, including the Chromebook Pixel, just aren't officially supported.
