Chromebook Pixel

Got surprised the other day with this release, apart from having an old-school display ratio and an unfair price, a bios that you can modify? seems useful for this community, the specs show familiar hardware .

i still can't believe the price and display ratio,
i don't think buying it over a MBP makes much sense.
but i may be proven wrong.

Hacking a laptop is not he same as hacking a desktop, so I think it's better to buy a MacBook Pro over any laptop out there.

The specs don't justify the cost, IMO. And Chrome just isn't viable for a desktop OS. Yet.

Kind of baffled by the thing, to be honest.

price wise i agree, the pixel is overpriced for its specs, however, my point was that the bios is dev friendly, then again, there is a Probook dedication in this forum, this device could have the same future as that one, as i already said, most of the hardware seems familiar, support shouldnt be hard on this one.
