I ended up RMAing 3 different 2015 pixels. The g+ group was filled with hardware issues (possibly an echo chamber; how many happy users were posting in hardware problems threads?). I really wanted the pixel to be a medium screen size with an i7 and 16gb of RAM, but it didn't stand up to being a daily driver for me. I can confirm that pixel does use coreboot and has a backup seabios (also open source) if you want to use that (ended up being slightly easier to run arch via seabios).
