-Pretty exciting unboxing today.
-The Pixel arrived.
-Yes.
The Chromebook Pixel.
I think this is the one that was so cool-looking that there was like a YouTube video about it, and then everyone thought it was a hoax because it looks so cool.
-But it wasn't a hoax.
-But it wasn't a hoax and here it is.
-And here it is.
We got one and you have a knife of incredible majesty.
-Thank you.
I have the rad knife that the rad viewer sent us.
This part needs to be knifed.
Yey, and
then lock for safety, all gone.
-There we go.
-Right.
Okay.
Hey, looks like there might be a MacBook in here.
Look, a MacBook.
-Is it a MacBook?
-No.
I don't know.
Wait.
Look.
It's nice.
-Oh, that doesn't say Apple on it.
-Google.
They plastic it and here and here.
-That was one of those flap--
-Oh, for God's sake.
Why do they keep doing-- they do this with the Nexus too and it took me like half an hour to get it out of the box.
-There we go.
Oh.
-Hello.
Wow.
That is beautiful.
-Look at the awesome Chrome hinge.
-Okay.
Can I just take a moment to say that this is basically all I've ever wanted in a laptop, industrial design, like no branding, no kind of crap setting it up, just a flat black box.
Oh, but seriously, look at this.
-That's really pretty.
-Wanna touch it?
-Yes, I do.
-Wow.
-So the only place that says Chrome is right there.
That's pretty smooth.
Wow.
It's
so nice.
-It's absolutely stunning.
Oh.
-Oh.
Did it turn right on?
-Yes, oh yes.
-Oh, it did.
-Look at like a beautiful picture.
-Oh my God, that's beautiful.
-Right on the display so you can see it right off the bat.
-But it's got that weird 3:2 aspect ratio.
-That's it.
-Yes.
Cord.
-So just our 2 sets of power.
-Yes.
-Because this just totally meant to be wireless all the time.
I don't know.
I'm clicking continue but nothing's happening.
-Well, that's the thing.
It has to be wireless all the time because there's no hard drive in it.
-Yes.
In fact speaking of the total
lack of hard drive and other things on the inside, let's break down the specs.
The Chromebook Pixel runs Google Chrome OS.
It has a dual-core 1.8-gigahertz Intel Core i5 processor.
It has middling graphics, an integrated Intel HD 4000 graphics card and 4 GB of memory.
The hard drive is a somewhat surprising 32 gigabytes solid-state drive, and it's not the fastest drive on the market either.
The display is 12.85 inches.
It falls into the
13-inch category.
It's HD as you probably noticed with a resolution of 2560x1700.
Also a touchscreen so if you feel like putting your grimy paws all over your beautiful pixel display, go crazy.
The Chromebook Pixel weighs 3.3 pounds.
It has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 3.0.
It also has USB 2.0, a Mini DisplayPort, an SD card reader, and a microphone and headphone jack.
In terms of pricing, it starts at
again a somewhat surprising $1299.
You can also step up to a version for $1449 that has built-in 4G LTE support.
So unquestionably gorgeous.
-Yes.
-Like crazy gorgeous.
-I can tell you love it.
-I do.
-Already.
-I'm totally in love with it, although I completely understand the drawbacks.
-It's the hard drive space.
-The hard drive.
-It's I think over the long term you would be very frustrated about that.
-I would think actually over the extremely short term
I would be frustrated by that.
I have a 128 GB solid-state drive in my MacBook Air and that's probably the primary competitor to this.
-Yes.
-I'm out of room.
I mean I'm completely out of space already.
-And it does feel a little heavy, but boy that display is gorgeous.
-Would you wanna touch it?
-I do.
-You mean like--
-I do wanna touch it.
-Well, I mean I know you do want to but over the long term, you know, you got this beautiful display.
-Well, I personally really hate mousepads.
-Yes.
-So I would love the touchscreen.
-No, I love the touchscreen.
I've been looking forward to that too.
I mean I have to say it, I think
it is sort of a typical Google product.
Their industrial design has gotten phenomenal.
This is a gorgeous machine.
The price is definitely high, and it's for a small subset of people who kind of only live on the web, but I don't know.
I think I could maybe become one of those people.
