I got to try one of these a couple days ago. First thing I noticed, GLOSSY screen. I currently use a 15" rMBP with the greatly reduced, but still a tad glossy screen. Any of the previous non-anti-glare screens, I simply could not use and the Pixel was even worse.

It had quite a heft to it, even though its only like 5 lb.

But the thing I found most odd was the question "what is this for?" With such a high pixle density I would think photo editing. But, with such limited local storage and currently NO quality "chrome" photo editing apps, I can't imagine how painful it would be to be having to swap files back and forth from the cloud to the device, or god forbid EDITING while IN the cloud on RAW or TIFF images. That would be truly painful.

A macbook air is such a better device at this point (and will probably come with some retina screen in the next release) and has a lot of local storage and can do literally everything a chromebook pixel can do for less money. AND it can do all the things a chromebook cannot.

At 1399-1499$ this is in no way going to be a seller and sadly will probably end up in the google tv, nexus Q heap.
