Chromebook

So far its pretty straightforward.  The apps are more like bookmarks.  The Dragonfly DAC does not work but the Fiio is plug and play.   I think the Pico DAC will work.

 

I have the Acer 11.6 with Celeron and 320gb.  Open box was too cheap to not bring home and try it.

The New Pixel looks good... killer screen.

But pricey it seems to me.

Yeah, that price was SHOCKING!

Hmmm...

Yeah, it's a steal!

I think Google's lost their marbles.  I guess they have cash to burn.

Sounds from the article that Ric linked that they're following Apple's pricing model.  If that constitutes "losing their marbles", well then...maybe it is.

[mikeymad]

Maybe they should have put the apple logo on it.. .then pricing not so bad...

... and the software. 

[Dusty Chalk]

Yeah, I was largely just being snarky.  But you have to admit, at least they'll be able to keep up with demand.

If you connect via Verizon LTE, it will only cost you $10K to fill that, and another $10K to read it back.

The price seems so obvious now.
