I bought a Pixel a few years back, knowing full well that it was a luxury expense compared to the other Chromebooks out there (and yet still cheaper than what I'd spend on just about anything else out there). One of the coolest parts was getting so much free drive storage with it, but now that seems to be something you get with a lot of Google products. I always have a Windows machine from work, but VS Code runs on both machines.
I have to say I still use my Pixel everyday and it's held up very well, I can still open it with one finger, it's as fast as the day I got it even after updates, and I use it with anything after I got a USB-C docking station from Plugable (and learned how to run Linux with Crouton). Before I got the docking station I didn't even realize USB-C actually does network connections too. I also learned how much i don't really care for touch screens, they either get dirty really easy or I'm a lot greasier of a person that I ever realized.

Great machine, felt very well built, etc.. but I had no use for the touchscreen, and eventually sold the system to a friend while it still had some resale value left. My normal Chromebook workflow just couldn't justify the $1K model versus one of the $200-350 "low end" units with a FHD non-touchscreen.
