Chromebook Pixel gets official with 12.85-inch touchscreen, 4GB of RAM and so much More

Do you guys remember that apparent leaked Google Chromebook Pixel video that was posted back in first week of February. It was from a company called Slinky.me. The video was in their servers that were hacked and the video got shared.Â It got a lot of attention. Everyone was talking about it. It seemed to good to be true. We personally believed the Chromebook Pixel to be a real device. Others didn’t think it was though. Well it is real and it is really available to purchase.

The new Google Chromebook Pixel has just been put up on the Play Store for purchase. They have two versions available. One is Wi-Fi only with 32GB of storage, the other is Wi-F, LTE and has 64GB of storage. That sounds great but it the rest of the specs that make a persons jaw drop.

I just got the chills just reading all of that. The battery life isn’t stellar, but looking at what the Pixel offers and does, one wouldn’t expect it to be that incredible anyways. As if those small little bits of tech specs aren’t enough, the Pixel also has a backlit keyboard, fully clickable etched-glass trackpad and an HD webcam.

Now you are probably asking your self, “Whats the damage report to my bank account?” Well, the 32 GB Wi-Fi only version sells for $1299.00.. Burn. What did you expect, a $400 touchscreen laptop? That price does come with a few little perks though. Google also is giving you 1 TB of Google Drive storage for 3 years. They are also giving you 12 free GoGo inflightÂ Wi-Fi access.

The 64 GB model with LTE inside retails at $1449.00. All the same specs, it just has LTE and more internal memory. The kickers are the same with 1 TB Drive and 12 sessions of GoGo Wi-Fi, but they also are giving you 2 years of Verizon mobile broadband. Granted it is only 100 MB’s per month, but it is included, just like the CR-48’s had.

What do you guys think? Did you just grab your wallet and check your bank account? It is tax season, did a Chromebook Pixel just jump to the top of the spending list? Hit the link to go buy one now.
