google's touchscreen chromebook pixel

 

 

google has launched the latest of their chromebooks, the 'pixel' - this time though, with a touch screen retina
display boasting 4.3 million pixels. the 12.85” screen has the highest pixel density of any laptop, implementing
a 3:2 photographic format designed for the web. users can organize windows, swipe through apps, and edit
photos with tap, swipe and pinch to zoom gestures.

 

a 0.55mm layer of gorilla glass fused directly to the display provides smooth touch interactions while preserving
picture clarity. the device is machined from an anodized aluminum alloy to a tight tolerance, hiding any distracting
features; vents are hidden, screws invisible, and stereo speakers seamlessly tucked away beneath the back-lit keyboard
for a minimal design experience. the touchpad is made from etched glass, analyzed and honed using a laser microscope
for exceptional smoothness and accuracy. like with previous chromebooks, the 'pixel' starts-up in seconds,
requiring almost zero setup or maintenance - powered with built-in 4G LTE for delivering fast browsing speeds.

  • Is it a real laptop, or just a browsing aid? Looks nice, I like the square edged form.

  • Well they just copied the macbook pro and added a touch screen to it.

  • it is not copy, it is innovation man…

    danny says:
  • This Chromebook with ChromeOS has to evolve as a tablet. You don’t want to have to carry 2 laptops. Who needs Android OS if we need ChromeOS.

    The reason Chromebook failed was the iPad and Chromebook timing was all wrong.

    This Chromebook is cool and beautiful but the pricetag and 5 hours battery are not reasonable.

    Jimmy Gunawan says:
  • useless
