#3 Google’s Chrome Pixel priced at “say what?”

Chrome OS is receiving a somewhat mixed response, some like it for its simplicity and some simply hate it. While it is difficult to class Chrome OS as a failure, it is not so when it comes to Google’s Chromebook Pixel. The search giant over ambitiously priced the Pixel at $1,299 expecting it to compete against Apple’s MacBook. But what it did not see was that, it ridiculously overpriced the Pixel.

Released in early 2013, it was plain that Google was intending to compete with Windows and OS X with its Pixel running Chrome OS. But that, in itself is not the core issue. One of the pros of Chrome OS was its ability to offer an enjoyable PC experience on a hardware that was worth only $200, but when Google decided to stick it in a hardware that was just as normal and price it higher, it lost its charm. Pixel’s problems extend beyond the OS running it. Even at its release, its Intel Core i5 processor was paired with only four gigabytes of RAM and an inadequate 32 GB SSD, whereas its similarly priced competitors boasted much more impressive specs. The areas where Pixel fails to impress only increases as you look closer.
