All I want is a proper replacement for the laptop that has served me for four years. Some people have found that a Chromebook is just the best way to compute. I'm one of them and unless I need to do something that requires the big loud PC on my desk you'll find me with a Chromebook in front of me. And if I'm away from home it will be a really beat up aluminum model from early 2013 that is in...

The few generations of Chromebook Pixels that you've grown to love over the past few years? They're the last of its kind. If you've got one, might as well put it into storage for preservation. Google's Rick Osterloh told TechCrunch and other...

Chromebook Pixel gets new processors, USB-C ports
The top-end Chromebook Pixel today got a spec bump with the latest 5th-generation Intel Core processors and USB-C ports. The new Pixel looks a lot like the old, maintaining the same slab styling as its predecessor. But it's still subtly different, measuring nearly 1mm thinner and 0.1 pounds lighter. The display is the same 3:2 ratio 12.85-inch 2450x1700 panel that we loved on the previous...

Google is trying to make things right with the owners of Chromebook Pixels on Verizon that are seeing their included data come to an unexpected end. When the LTE Chromebook Pixel launched on Verizon a year ago, it came with 100MB a month of free 4G data for two years. Verizon has apparently decided that deal no longer needs to stand, so they're ending it. Knowing that the handful of people that...

It was really cool when Verizon and Google offered 100MB of free LTE data monthly to users of a Chromebook Pixel. On the Google Play page, Google told anyone who bought one that this deal would last for two years, and even though 100MB a month isn't a lot, it makes it handy to check mail or messages when you can't get to proper Wifi. The problem is, that the folks who bought a Pixel under those...

Pixel Touch Drawing App
The Touch Drawing App puts the touchscreen on your Pixel to use Googler and Chromium Evangelist François Beaufort has released a little Chrome app that gives you a chance to put your touchscreen to work. Aptly named Touch Drawing App, all it does is present a canvas which you can draw on with your finger or a stylus.  Yes, it's pretty basic, and not something that will make folks rush out and...

The Pixel takes cloud computing to the next level — but the price should make you think twice before buying Meet the Pixel. It's beautiful, powerful, filled with the tools the next-generation of the web will need, but it "just" runs Chrome OS. That's the general consensus of everyone with a platform to speak their mind about Google's newest Chromebook, and for the most part it rings true. It's...
