Anyone have any updated thoughts on this machine? Just bought one on ebay for shits.

I hope for a very good price?

It's always been way too overpriced, though I like how it looks. But I'd rather get the new Acer Chromebook with 4GB ram, 1080P screen, and 11 hour battery life for $380.

Poor battery life on the Pixel is major deal killer. 4-5 hours is terrible.

Unless you can change out the ssd and put linux or windows on there and run a real OS I do not see the point.

If you just want a good screen running chrome I would get the upcoming tegra k1 with ips screen made by acer.

I mean I definitely overpaid, but the screen, touch capability, glass touchpad and better exterior aesthetics wins me over compared to all other chromebooks...we'll see how I like it.

I dont think the SSD is swappable?

The Pixel is the Chromebook that others hopefully model after....

That said Acer's upcoming 13" Chromebook looks pretty awesome: http://www.omgchrome.com/acer-chromebook-13-videos-official-adverts/

The touchscreen model is tempting. Wish it had T-Mobiles 200mb 4G and an IPS display (not a deal breaker as some early hands on say it looks really good).

Need to see some benchmarks on how Nvidia's chip stacks up against Intel's as the previous ARM based chips lagged behind Intel.

Would be nice to have a fast & fanless Chromebook but it's not like having a fan in a Chromebook is that big of a deal either.
