My girlfriend and I won a Google sponsored hackathon this year that got us flights and tix to I/O and we both got the Pixel there. She then decided to make an experiment and sold her Macbook, to proceed using only the Pixel and an iPad. She wrote her entire dissertation with it and loves it. The three things she misses are Illustrator, Photoshop and Lightroom.
I doubt she would have done the same thing with a lesser Chromebook, so it was the Pixel's quality that won her over. She now is an embassador for it and recently a friend of ours got one for his wife for Xmas instead of a W8 laptop.

- julianpye 13y agoTouchscreen and the touchpad on the Pixel are simply state of the art - so much better than on my Asus Zenbook, much more precise and simply a joy to use. The speed-up time is very good, too, of course. It has to be said that her Mac was quite old and she was intending to replace it soon, anyway.
- judk 13y agoAh, almost any new X is massively better than 4 year old Y. Exceptions are the real dogs, like Windows Vista and eMachines.
