The Chromebook Pixel

The Verge calls it a hair thicker than the Air, am I the only one that feels that it's a lot thicker? Comparison photo: http://cdn0.sbnation.com/entry_photo_images/7732773/theverge...

I'm glad Google is going to offer a high-end Chromebook, but I'd really like to see a $400 model that improves on screen quality and size. A 15" IPS Chromebook would be the sweet spot for me.

Also, I can't help but think that making a chromebook touch screen is a waste of money. Gorilla arm, anyone?

Will the Pixel be locked? I doubt that Google would make this arrangement, but it is a question worth asking.

So... Can I install Windows on it?

or Linux?

Really, I'd take anything but Chrome OS... But with 32 GB of storage I doubt Windows would even fit.

With 32GB of storage, you probably wouldn't want to.

Even though I use my chromebook every day, I think this is a very high price point for this device.

Seems like they release a new chrome os device every few months, I would much prefer updating my chromebook every year for 400$-500$ with faster lighter version, instead of investing 1300$.

This is basically a $1,300 web browser. I don't get it, beautiful touch display or not.
