Chromebook Pixel is $1,300. For that amount of money you can get a really really nice laptop. It won't have a super-high-res screen, but it will have a proper high-end i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM, 500GB SSD, video card enough to play modern games, etc. I don't know about you, but performance matters for me.
