Google's Chromebook Pixel Proves A Point
by Ashraf Eassa
I don't expect Google's (GOOG) Chromebook Pixel to sell particularly well. I'm of the camp that Microsoft's (MSFT) OS and ecosystem are far too entrenched in the PC space for Google's Chromebook line to really make a dent at the high end. Sure, the low end Chromebooks are selling like hotcakes; they're cheap and "good enough" for what most people are probably buying them for (secondary systems), but paying $1,300 for a Chromebook that won't run the wide variety of applications available on the Windows platform seems a little bit of a stretch. It'll be a niche product that gets Google some spotlight, but until the Chrome OS is more firmly entrenched in the computing landscape (and the low end Chromebooks are the way to do this), a high end Chromebook is perhaps the right device at the very wrong time. read more »
