Meet the New Chromebook Pixel

Meet the New Chromebook Pixel

PC components Mar 11,2015 0

Two years after the introduction of the first Chromebook Pixel, Google is coming up up with two new models -- a $999 base model and a $1,299 "Ludicrous Speed" (LS) version. Compared to the older model, the new Pixel includes two USB-C connectors and a new fifth-generation Core i5 "Broadwell-U" chip, which will help extend the Pixel’s battery life from a five hours to a twelve.

As before, the Pixel is powered by a combination of Google’s Chrome OS and Google’s cloud services, which include Gmail, Google Drive, and the Chrome browser, as well as something a collection of apps, which can run on top of the Chrome OS and add functionality the original Pixel lacked.

The $999 basic model includes a 2.2GHz fifth-generation Core i5, 8GB of memory, and a 32GB SSD. The $1,299 "Ludicrous Speed" (LS) model packs a 2.4GHz Core i7, 16GB of RAM, and a 64GB SSD. Otherwise, both are identical. They include a lower-power version of the original Pixel’s 12.85-inch, 2,560x1,700 (239 pixels per inch) 3:2 touch display, with an improved sRGB color gamut, and powered by an Intel HD Graphics 5500 chip. In addition to the dual USB-C connectors, the new Pixels offer two legacy USB-A ports and an SD card slot, with Wi-Fi 802.11ac inside.

Google is also launching today the Google Store, the new home for the latest devices made with Google.

At store.google.com, you can shop Nexus phones and tablets, Chromecast and Chromebooks, learn more about newer technology like Android Wear, Nexus Player and Nest, and stock up on accessories like cases, keyboards and chargers. The Google Store is available on your phone, tablet, or laptop, and right now you’ll get free.
