The age of the luxury ultraportable is definitely upon us. Apple launched its new thnner and lighter Retina MacBook two days ago and now Google has followed suit with its latest Chromebook Pixel.
Starting at US $999, the new Chromebook Pixel features an all-aluminum body, a 13-inch touchscreen that has a 2560 x 1700 resolution and an aspect ratio of 3:2. Google decided on a proper mobile chip, no leass than an Intel Core i5 Broadwell processor powers this Chromebook which also sports 8GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage space.
Comparing Chromebooks to Apples, the pixel 2 is heavier than the new MacBook at 3.3 pounds but it also offers more in terms of battery life (12-hours), ports (two USB-C ports) and fast charging technology. in terms of design, it looks a whole lot like the Retina MacBook Pro 13.
