I love my Chromebook Pixel. In fact, http://finalevil2009.blogspot.com /2013/03/10-way-to-convince-your-wife-to-let-you.html" target="_blank">I knew I would like it from the day it was announced. It does not disappoint.
  • I love the keyboard. It's very comfortable to type on. (And I type about 10k words a week on average.)
  • The screen blows my mind.
  • The battery life is solid. (About 5 hours compared to 3-4 hours on my 2012 Macbook Air.)
  • The touchscreen feature is very natural. (I use it way more than I thought I would.)
  • The design and quality makes a statement.
  • The built-in LTE functionality is awesome for someone like me who travels frequently.
  • Oh yeah...one terabyte of Drive space is spectacular!
But if Google were to ask me what I would change about the second generation Pixel, this is what I would tell them:
  1. Give me the battery life of the CR-48. I want 8-10 hours of battery time. I know this is somewhat unrealistic. I can't "have my cake and eat it too." But if it were possible, a longer battery life is always a good thing.
  2. Give me the recharging speed of the Lenovo Carbon X1. I want to be able to fully recharge in about an hour (or less). When I do have to recharge, I'd like it to do so even faster than I can now.
  3. Give me the ability to flip the screen around and use it as a tablet. I really like the versatility of the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga. Since I got my Pixel, the use of my tablet is almost non-existent. But I still miss using it from time to time for pure content consumption and smaller presentations.
Google got a lot of things right when it created the Pixel. I was delighted to see them set the standard high. In fact, I still believe http://finalevil2009.blogspot.com /2013/02/chromebook-pixeljust-what-google-needed.html" target="_blank">it's exactly what they needed to do.

You really can't go wrong with the Chromebook Pixel.

If Google asked you, what changes would you recommend for the second generation Pixel?
