hey I'm Nate with Cena and today we're checking out Google's Chromebook pixel now I know what you're thinking it looks really familiar and you're right it's basically got the same body on the same screen that's last year's model but thanks to a price cut and new support for USB see this could be a good fit for the ride user the new Chromebook pixel packs the same 13 inch 2560 x 1700 pixel resolution display as last year's model google claims it offers improved color gamut which should improve color accuracy the screen is really bright and identity of 239 pixels per inch means that texas crisp and a pleasure to read there are two of the relatively new USB sea ports one on either side the laptop charges through these ports which is actually pretty great as it gives you two options for a place to put your power cord or a room for a cord and some other accessory the Vixen can also charge pretty quickly you get about two hours of battery life in just 15 minutes of charging and full capacity which is about 12 hours of juice in an hour and a half the obvious downside is that pork selection is really limited you're getting the pair of USBC port a pair of USB 3 ports and an SD card reader if you want to say connected to another screen and the pixel can output to up to 4k displays you're going to have to show up for adapters the rest of the changes are under the hood and they're welcome the base model packs a 2.2 gigahertz 5th generation Intel Core i5 processor eight gigs of RAM and 32 gigs of storage for 999 1299 gets you a core i7 processor with 16 gigs of ram and 64 gigs of storage that's quite a step up from last year's base model for the same price there is no LTE support this time around however the low storage capacities are a pain but an SD card will slide in and be flushed with the side of the chassis so it could be a good option for extra storage now the Chromebook pixel run into the same problem as its predecessor and that's Chrome OS a thousand dollars is still quite a bit of cash to shell out for a machine that's going to lose quite a bit of its functionality once you're off live by at that price you're better off going to say a cheaper Chromebook or a proper windows or mac laptop that's head the hardware is gorgeous and it's pretty powerful so I'm looking forward to the day when chrome OS finally catches be sure to read my full review on cnet I'm Nate thanks for watching
