A NEW advert for Google’s long-awaited Chromebook Pixel laptop has just been
“leaked” online.
It’s the first proper look we’ve had at the slick £1,049 device - the first
computer the search giant has ever made itself.
It’s a touchscreen which boasts the highest resolution screen ever put in a
laptop at 239 pixels per inch.
Google chiefs hope the Pixel - which goes on sale in the UK in April - will do
battle with Apple’s popular Macbooks, famous for their “Retina” displays
which measure 220ppi.
The new laptop - which is based around the idea of working online via Google
Docs, email and Chrome - will also come with a terabyte of Cloud storage.
Up until now, Google’s Chromebook models have been made by firms such as
Samsung, Acer and HP but now they’ve taken the design in-house.
Google’sVP of Engineering Linus Upson said on the firm’s blog that the Pixel
“brings together the best in hardware, software and design to inspire the
next generation of Chromebooks.”
He added: “We set out to rethink all elements of a computer in order to design
the best laptop possible, especially for power users who have fully embraced
the cloud.
“The philosophy of Chrome has always been to minimize the “chrome” of the
browser. In much the same way, the goal of the Pixel is to make the pixels
disappear, giving people the best web experience.”
