Now I am not sure if I should get one, or go for a Mac.

Who is Google trying to target with such a high-end laptop and price? Wasnt the reason Chromebooks took off so well was due to the cheap price of them? I remember paying around $300 or so for my Toshiba and thought that was a bargain.

What are people's thoughts? Just curious.....
For $1k you can get a full laptop that is quite good. This is just too expensive for a ChromeBook.
