Your View On The Pixel

Looks great, but limited by Storage and OS

>>57701655
Double the storage, give it a better price, install Gentoo, and you have the perfect ThinkPad killer

>>57703734
A 2013 model is your best bet on that

>Now $369.99
>3 years free 1Tb storage
>Boot Ubuntu
>hook up mini display port to 1080p
>You got yourself a decent gaming desktop.

LS owner here. Easily the best machine I've ever owned. But you need to embrace the cloud or you'll hate it.

>>57703734
you'd still need a trackpoint, a better keyboard, and more ports, upgradable storage and ram, and a dock. at least, i might be forgetting other things.

I've love it with a real OS

Posting from mine now, this shit's dope

I am looking for something to get, will be just for programming and watching movies, email, browsing while i travel around.

What do you guys think to the surface pro 4 core m version? Or should an xps 13 be the better choice?

>>57701655
If it had normal bios out of the box and upgradable ram/ssd it would be GOAT

I wish Google made a regular laptop that's not crippled by being a chromebook, it would finally kill macbooks

>>57701655
It's nice in every way except buy a chromebook.
Limited soldered RAM, storage.

Neither, get the first Chromebook pixel and run ubuntu.
You get everything you need but with better build quality.
Plus you can do a lot with 1Tb of google drive space.

Surface pro 4 is good but don't bust your balls on that.

>>57704548

XPS 13 is likely more power than you need if those are the only things you'll be doing. Same goes for the Surface Pro 4.
For a basic programming and web surfing machine, I'd value light weight and long battery life above all else.

>>57701655
Can't upgrade parts, it's utter dog shit.

What do people think of this?

>3 hour battery life

>>57706965
Yea there's that but I heard if you turn off the touchscreen you can get a bit more juice.
At least an extra hour and a half.

>>57701655
Great laptop, the free storage really adds it all.

>cheaper
>more ram
>11inch

>>57704397
I'm trying to think of what LS stands for, but I'm drawing a blank. Any anon care to fill me in?

>>57710136
It literally means Ludicrous Speed

I bought an Acer 13" with a Tegra K1. Refurbished from Amazon for 120goodboypoints with prime.

1080p screen. great twitter/netflix machine. not that good for anything else tho.

kek

>>57704498
hot-swappable 9-cell batteries. the new dual battery thing is such a good feature

The Pixel defeats the purpose of what a Chromebook even is. That said, I wish I had one and I'm not sure why. I'd get an HP Chromebook 13 instead, though. Premium, but less expensive.

>hook up mini display port to 1080p
The fuck? The display is the best feature of the pixel

>>57713696
I mean you wouldn't really need the 2:3 screen unless you're doing a ton of shit.

Hooking it to a 1080p screen will make you have more power in the end.
