hey what's up guys I'm Kay PhD here and this is the Chromebook pixel and it's my unboxing and first impressions now before you guys go all whoa mkbhd you must be nuts for paying $1,300 for a web browser take a second go ahead and check out my Chromebook pixel explaining video it opens in a new tab it's the first link below the like button on this video and that'll take you to my first impressions and thoughts on this machine but now I have it here in person to check it out for myself and hopefully I'll be able to give you guys enough information from my experience with it to help you decide what you think of the pixel either way let's get into this full retail unboxing since I wasn't one of the cool kids to get a loaner from Google right off the bat when you open the box you're presented with the Chromebook itself super nice and I also like this packaging but we'll put that to the side for a second next you actually get a card with some help so there's a site dedicated to Chromebook pixel customer support so that's cool then of course below that is the charger it's very reminiscent of the Asus Zenbook and MacBook chargers that plug directly into the wall so it's a pretty small brick and it does say Chrome on it which is a nice touch then again you also get the larger cable so if you want to plug it into the wall further away from you that is totally cool too and then you get your safety and warranty information as well and that's it the unboxing is done so taking a closer look at the laptop it is immediately apparent as soon as you pick it up and hold the thing that it is built well it is a completely unibody design and it's a really nice clean feel no obtrusive logos or anything protruding anywhere in fact it's one of the most minimalist understated designs you could say handsome designs of any laptop I've ever seen including the original cr-48 Chromebook this port layout is also as we have expected pretty basic on the left side there's power a mini display port two USB 2.0 ports and an audio port and on the right side is just an SD card reader so although this is all nice and pretty basic I would have liked to see more video out options like some HDMI action thrown in there but that's alright all this looking around the device also really gets you to look at two things one how thin it really is on to how much attention to detail went into this design it's a really handsome notebook it's nice and clean unibody feel like I said everything from the hinge to the logo placement if you in the right place and I love that and then you open it up for the first time and Chrome OS boots and the display turns on and then you realize why this thing is premium that is a 2560 by 1713 inch display and it has a pixel density of 239 PPI this is the sharpest display we've ever seen in a laptop and don't worry yes I will go more into the detail with that in the full review video but basically the display is awesome in every way I've watched the Timescape 4k demo video that comes pre-loaded on it just for kicks and you can see everything every little detail it really does show up as being a little bit glossy though so you'll have to angle it properly to get rid of the lights but then again it is a touchscreen too so there is some fun thrown into there I don't know it's just an awesome package centered around that nice display which is where the Chromebook pixel gets its name so the hardware is pretty much at first glance definitely awesome and playing around with Chrome OS version 25 is also fun too now most of us are already familiar with Chrome most of us in fact are probably watching this video in chrome right now but Chrome OS has a lot of additions and tweaks to it that make it seem like way more than just a browser first of all all the multi window support is nice the search functionality all the keys that are integrated with it and the inevitable upcoming additions like Google now and notifications etc all these things hopefully will come together to make this feel like a more complete operating system experience plus the touch screens so that really gives you sort of a new experience with Google Chrome now it's difficult to live completely in the cloud for some people and I understand that but the purpose of this video right here the reason this video is on YouTube is to ask you guys what do you want to see in the Chromebook pixel full review the comments section below is wide open right below that like button and it'll serve as a forum for all your suggestions do you want to see performance tests you know more info on the screen on the operating system gaming whatever it is let me know and I will see it also without giving away too much I do plan on comparing this to the competition but that's a whole nother mother of a topic altogether so anyway let me know guys I'll leave you with the Konami Easter Egg that with that awesome badass light bar that Google added just for kicks because it looks cool there you go thank you for watching and I'll talk to you guys in the next one peace you
