This product seems way out of line with Google's strategy.
- glesica 14y agoIt may not be good enough for you to replace your Macbook Air, but it was good enough for the author to forgo a Macbook Air. Subtle, but important difference.

- dman 14y agoI think its about time Apple got challenged on the high end. For the rest of the market to survive they eventually have to pierce the myth that Apple is the upper bound in terms of quality in every market that they operate in.
- r00fus 14y agoChromebook Pixel doesn't really challenge Apple in this regard yet. It's underpowered, underfeatured hardware costs equivalent to an MB Air and almost MBP-r. It's a shot across the bow of battleship Apple, but the low-cost Chromebooks are far more of a threat to both MS and Apple.
- dman 14y agoApple doesnt compete on the power of their hardware - they compete on desirability. I would say hardware wise this is at least as desirable as anything that apple ships. This with a haswell refresh is going to be sweet.
