You'll need adapters for several of these functions, but that will change over time as the industry moves towards Type-C USB ports. It makes all the difference in the world since these ports are multi-purpose: They can accept or provide power (you can charge a phone or tablet from them), support data transfers and let the Pixel use external displays. Wisely, Google included two USB Type-C ports one on each side of the Pixel. If there were only one of these, I surely wouldn't be enjoying the laptop as much as I have. Of course, that scenario requires you have the Pixel charger, which brings me to the USB Type-C ports. The point being: You don't have to worry about charging this device nightly if you have some spare charging time here and there throughout your day.

Even if I skip that and run down close to lunch time, the Pixel quickly recharges during my mid-day meal sometimes, I get a full charge during lunch and of course, I'm good to through the rest of the day if not the next morning. I've found that I can generally get through the morning with a quick charge while having a cup of coffee or small bite for breakfast. Instead of the roughly five hours of run-time on a single charge I've been living with for two years, this new Pixel hasn't yet failed to get me through a full day of use. The biggest difference I see between the 2013 model and the latest Chromebook Pixel is in the battery life. The less expensive model has never left me wanting for more performance in the past month.

You can also spend $1,299 to double up on memory and storage capacity, plus get a chip upgrade to a Core i7, but I don't see the need for most people to do so. I've been testing the base $999 model with 2.2GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of memory and 32GB of local storage.
Right off the bat, this year's model is a little lighter on the wallet. Chromebook Pixel keyboard and glass trackpad Back in 2013, I spent $1,449 for my own Pixel with integrated LTE and after a month of using the newer model, I'm convinced that Google fixed the few things wrong with the first edition while keeping the great keyboard, trackpad and high resolution display. I've been using the l atest Google Chromebook Pixel for a full 30 days, thanks to a review unit loaned to me by Google.
