First, the Chromebook Pixel excels in its display. The company advertises that the device has 239 pixels per inch display while most other laptops and netbooks boast of 118 pixels per inch. For those who are not as tech savvy, that is a huge difference and this is precisely where the device impresses right when you lay your eyes on it.

What does appear to be a little perplexing is that if Google had planned to pull in such a phenomenal touch screen, there was really no need to have such a large space occupied by the touchpad. It could have been simply shorter, smaller and lighter. Whether it is the LTE built in feature or running high end software and apps, the Chromebook Pixel is a fascinating upgrade from its earlier devices.
