I switched from a MacBook Pro to a Chromebook Pixel 2. Here’s what happened…
I’ve been intrigued by the Chromebook Pixel ever since the original version launched in early 2013. The looks and style of a MacBook coupled with the seductive minimalism of ChromeOS tantalized me, but I was put off by the high $1,300+ price for a machine with limited functionality compared to my trusty 2012 MacBook Pro with Retina display. The 2015 Chromebook Pixel is a more appealing proposition as it boasts a cheaper pricetag, along with a few other minor tweaks like two of the brand new USB-C ports.
