  During the last night, those from Google they presented Chrome Pixel, an ultrabook equipped with a touch screen, running the operating system Chrome OS. Chrome Pixel it has a 12.85-inch screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1700, and 239 pixels per inch, it has an Intel i5 processor of 1.8 GHz, and it is available in versions with flash storage space of 32 or 64 GB. In practice, the laptop has more pixels per inch than MacBook Pro- with a 13-inch screen, 227 ppi in its case, and if until now Apple did not have a serious reason to implement a Retina Display in MacBook Air, well things have changed radically.

So what's next? Today we're excited to announce our newest laptop—the Chromebook Pixel—which brings together the best in hardware, software and design to inspire the next generation of Chromebooks. With the Pixel, 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.

  Chrome Pixel is available at prices starting at $1300 for the version with 32 GB storage space, and $1450 for the 64 GB version, which still has an LTE modem included. From a hardware point of view, the product is extremely interesting, but its big problem is that Chrome OS, which unfortunately needs an Internet connection to work, and too few applications are currently available for it. Of course, there will be ways to install Windows OS on the Chrome Pixel, but the product itself will not attract many users willing to buy a Mac or a Windows laptop.
