LTE is one of the killer features of the Chromebook, and I can't believe it's not an option on all top-tier laptops by now. (If you're already spending this much on a computer, you might as well go for the LTE.) If you're willing to shell out an extra $150 for your Chromebook Pixel, you get the option to use its built-in 4G LTE wireless connection through Verizon. I kept up with both my work and personal email. I kept up with Twitter using the excellent TweetDeck app for Chrome. I never hit a snag with the Chromebook in that time. I haven't touched my MacBook in nearly two weeks. It has internal storage so you can access files offline.
It syncs with accessories like USB drives and digital cameras.
Chrome OS has more of a classic desktop look and feel to it now, with a taskbar at the bottom that lets you launch web apps and a wallpapered background. When Google first launched Chrome OS that may have been true, but a lot has changed in the last two years. (Google Drive is an online file storage service that's almost exactly like Dropbox and functions largely as the Pixel's hard drive.)Īny criticism you've read calling the Chromebook Pixel a "$1,300 Web browser" clearly comes from people who have never touched the machine before. And I love that the computer came with a free TB of storage through Google Drive for three years. So as someone who works primarily in a Web browser and relies heavily on Web-powered services, the Pixel and Chrome OS work perfectly for me. < div> Please enable Javascript to watch this video< /div>
