Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Chromebook Pixel Unboxing & First Impressions!”.
Hey, what’s up guys, i’m kphd 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 1300 for a web browser. Take a second go ahead and check out my chromebook pixel, explain 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 longer 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 is 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 cr48 chromebook. This port layout is also, as we’ve 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 right all this looking around the device also really gets you to look at two things: one how thin it really Is and two 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 feels 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 1700 13 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 have 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 touch screen 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 windows support is nice, the search functionality, all the keys that are integrated with it, and the inevitable upcoming editions, 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 screen, 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 comment 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 another 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 .
