Google has released an updated Chromebook Pixel. The company maintained the original Pixel design and improved the shortcomings of the first version, with an emphasis on battery life.
The new Pixel will come in two versions: A $999 Core i5 (2.2 GHz) version with 8GB of RAM, a 32GB SSD and a $1,299 Core i7 Ludicrous Speed “LS” version (2.4 GHz) with 16GB of RAM and a 64GB SSD.
The new Pixel includes two USB-C connectors, two USB-A ports, an SD card slot, and as before, the Pixel also includes a combination of Google Chrome OS and Google cloud services like Gmail, Google Drive, and Chrome browser. In addition, Google threw in some new apps to the package as well.
The Pixel’s quick-charging technology will provides about two hours of charge in 15 minutes and should last about 12 hours based on Google’s tests. Both of these new models are Wi-Fi-only, there are no LTE models.
Both models are already on sale from the new online Google Store.
