You dudes dont get hints a chromebook with touch screen = swipe away notifications aka android ya bish

cant wait for the new chrome OS

If you're a huge fan of the new Message Center in Google Chrome OS, you'll be glad to learn that Google Chrome Team added a keyboard shortcut to access it directly in the last Google Chrome OS Dev Update.

It is especially useful for people with disabilities such as visual impairment, hearing loss, and limited dexterity.

<Alt> + <Shift> + n : Show the Message Center

Here's something really cool about the new Message Center hidden behind the flag "Enable Rich Notifications" in chrome://flags.

There is a Quiet Mode. You can tune it for one hour, one day or turn it off. Therefore, there won't be any popups (especially useful during presentations). Don't worry, notifications will be stored in the Message Center for later.

Those have nothing to do with the thread title or my comment. $1300 for a laptop based largely around a browser is worthy. Will definitely be testing it out if there's a store opened near me, but I can't see buying this over a macbook or a laptop for 1/2 - 1/3 the price.

nobody is telling yall to buy it Chrome is becoming more than a browser OS

android have a $ 11k phone do you care ??

The Rolls-Royce of phones meets the gold standard of mobile encryption.

Priced at $10,500 (7,900&#8364;) and sold through boutiques in 60 countries, this is the phone you never want to leave in a taxi cab accidentally. For those of us annoyed with friends and colleagues repeatedly showing off their new iPhone 5 or BlackBerry 10, Vertu offers the hand-crafted Ti model with 3.7-inch sapphire crystal screen and titanium case. More comparable to classy wristwatches and fine designer handbags, there&#8217;s also Signature and Constellation models at even higher prices.

1300 bucks for 4gb ram...intel 400hd...32 gb of hard drive space

Chromebook Pixel promises to do for the Chrome OS platform what Nexus devices did for Android smartphones and tablets: Establish a reference design for hardware partners and provide developers base system to develop apps for the platform. But it's also a competitive move against PCs running OS X or Windows and Google pushing Chrome OS into the premium notebook market.

Well, when you put it like that














You still don't have a point. You made this thread about the Chromebook for $1300 and everybody has made the same comments. Doesn't seem worth the price even with the hardware.

and 2800$ to browse the web on a mac book pro....whats the difference. You ahve web apps to do whatever you need.

Google drive= MS Office
Google music browser=itunes
Now what else do you do on the desktop....MS killed the desktop homie and went with metro UI aka chromeOS app launcher. Its the same shyt in a way. Yes windows can do more but at the same time have you tried windows 8 on a non lap top

WELL SAID
What is a "Real" OS?

Posted by Zecharixs on February 21, 2013 06:14 pm 17

I think we've been too consumed by our gut reaction that Chrome OS is not a real OS and $1300 is never justifiable. But what justifies a laptop's price, especially for the average consumer?

Hardware and software. Instead of raging at the price, it may be better to consider this thing's hardware quality and what needs does it fulfill for average people. Geeks are not the majority of consumers.

So first let's look at the hardware.

2560 x 1700 239ppi screen.

Touch screen

i5, Intel HD4000

4G RAM

Excellent keyboard and touchpad

Judging by the hardware alone, the device would be well worth $1300 considering the competition.

And what of the software? Remember, before kneejerk reactions we should consider what needs a person will have.

Web browsing in general, which Chrome OS does of course

Email, which can be accessed by outlook.com or gmail.com easily.

Videos - Youtube, Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon all work.

Documents/office suite - There's Google Drive and native Office .doc(x) compatibility through quick office which comes pre-installed.

Chromebook Pixel to have integrated Quickoffice, able to open docs natively

Light photo editing, which Pixlr does and is comparable to a medium level Photoshop.

Gallery, which Chrome OS now has a beautiful version of.

Google intros Chrome photo app that features full-res G+ instant upload, intelligent photo selection

Simple multi-tasking- Chrome OS now has auto rearranging windows

Chrome OS update auto-arranges windows, allows multi-display desktops

And the touch screen, based on pictures from the Play Store, seems to be useful. The new photo-app is touch optimized. It just makes more sense that way. And how about Google Maps? I find it annoying to use the mouse to drag it over. Touch makes so much more sense.

Things that geeks expect but don't matter for average people include, using Blender, Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, Crysis, Eclipse, Java JDK, X Code, etc.

So think about what needs normal people will have and how this meets or doesn't meet those needs rather than thinking about the programs geeks won't have.

Maybe this will sell well, and maybe it won't. But it's the first time Chrome OS has had a premium flagship that creates reason to get excited. So let's not dismiss it out of hand.

that makes it even more

fukk out of here if what you are hinting at is some sort of beta on a 12 inch notebook with $300 laptop specs outside of that screen.
