Also it has Windows 10 instead of OS X, and probably worse touchpad (because so far, nobody else has gotten it right)
The Chromebook Pixels actually have as good (or better) touchpad than MacBooks
Can confirm - I've been using a pixel 2 for a while now and it's amazing.
Kind of bummed that Microsoft didn't go with the USB Type-C on these.
Has anyone seen how Linux/*BSD is coming along on these devices? I couldn't care less about OS X, and have little use for Windows (gaming without a high end GPU?) -- but well-integrated Linux would be nice.
That's obvious, I suppose; also it can be fixed :)
It's not Microsoft's fault that osx is an OS with extremely bad hardware support.
