Until now, Chromebooks hadn't been much more than glorified netbooks; underpowered curios best suited for technological novices. The 13-inch, touchscreen, retina-displayed, full-powered Chromebook Pixel, though, appears to be anything but. And it should be enough to make Apple at least a little nervous. At least until you get to the price.
The anodized aluminum Pixel is purpose-built for working in the cloud. Rather than the standard 16:9 resolution, the Pixel is optimized for viewing Internet-based content with a 2560x1700 resolution on a 3:2 aspect ratio—which provides 18 percent more vertical space than the conventional 16:9 layout. That's 4.3 million pixels total, 239 per inch—appreciably more than the 13-inch retina MacBook Pro's 227 ppi. What's more, the display is Gorilla Glass and doubles as a capacitive touch screen.
