Part of me kind of counts the original Droid as a quasi-Nexus device. Still sad.

Setup a RAID-0 then as NAS. Even if it will cost you $300 for a full featured personal cloud NAS, still cheaper than paying some company that will look through your files…..

do you want the answer?

1) it’s made by Google, Google manufactures its exclusive hardware in the US.

2) Google itself IS NOT interested in becoming a $199 manufacturer.

3) Google is NOT interested in Motorola bacoming a $199 manufacturer.

4) Chromebook Pixel is a hi-end laptop made in USA FOR DEVELOPERS AND ENTHUSIASTS THAT WANT TO IMPROVE GOOGLE’s own operating system. It’s a BAR for OS quality, it’s not a mass-market notebook, it’s Google’s own GOAL: the highest quality made in the US.

5) with Chromebook Pixel Google say: “Develop/improve/work with our future OS using this beautiful hi-end thing, not just an affordable Chromebook. Google shows the IMPORTANCE of CHROME OS for them, for you, for everybody.

6) CHROME OS will merge with Android.

7) Chrome OS has a very big FUTURE, it needs confident developers/users in its IMPORTANCE .

8) there are tens or hundreds manufacturers of PLASTIC genericness, probably our beloved Google and its brand shouldn’t be on everything for the sake of QUANTITY for $199.;)

9) Chromebook Pixel is a beautiful hi-end NEST for the constantly evolving BIRD (OS).

10) if you don’t understand Chromebook Pixel you don’t understand Google’s real GOALS.

Chromebook Pixel is an important design milestone for Google and a MESSAGE, not just an “overpriced” product.

eventually you have to start paying for the storage, the 1TB is only free for a year. By no real software i meant “real” software. Chrome plug ins don’t count.

For anyone who wanted to get serious work done with a laptop the chromebook just doesn’t cut it. Now for $250 that’s not a big deal as it’s a casual device, but once you hit that $1K price point you HAVE to be able to offer more than cloud storage and web apps.

So according to your way of thinking an opinion based in facts is stupid.. Lol ook then. Are you saying that because you believe your opinion is without any factual basis? If I’m not a fan of any company and think they all basically suck I fail to see how that makes me a fan boy. I mentioned several positive things such as saying the Note 2 is a great device which millions would agree based on the facts of user feedback and design of the device itself. Secondly unless you have some informed opinion that does not end up refuting itself, as in the case that you seem to fulfill your very own definition of what a troll and fan boy are, what is the point of posting a reply like the ones you just did?

The problem here is you’re stating your opinion as stone cold fact which is stupid in and of itself.

This is what fanboys do.

You’re also clearly trying to “ruffle everyone’s feathers” with every post.

This is what trolls do.

Thus, you are both a troll and a fanboy.

All we need to find out is if it is using a typical SATA or MSATA and replace the SSD. Windows 8 & Chrome OS FTW!!

Perfect description of what this Chromebook is for. You guys seriously need to stop looking at the here and now and start looking at the future of products BEYOND just Android (if you’re going to cover stuff and complain about it).

Having owned mostly Motorola devices is agree that blur is broken, as Are iOS, Blackberry, LGs ui and Sense as a previous owner of the Thunderbolt. I kind of like Touch wiz on the Note 2 actually, but if you’d ask me I’d say I don’t like any of them for different reasons. Touch wiz though on such a remarkable device as the Note 2 though is something I can deal with though I won’t lie and say I haven’t considered Nova. Not a fan boy or troll, sorry none of the above. Just starting my opinion. Don’t get your feathers in a ruffle.

Since they built a huge chrome android my best guess would be that it will run android apps. The screen is touch so the interface wouldnt be an issue.

People apply third party solutions to TouchWiz, whatever the hell LG has, whatever Motorola has, Sense, stock Android and even iOS all the time.

By your logic, which is horribly flawed and reeks of someone who’s scared of change, Android and iOS are broken.

I say you’re a Windows Phone troll. Or worse, Blackberry troll.

Nice device, but the price is high and the features are low. Needs more internal storage at that price.
