Google’s Chromebook Pixel 2 will be released in the UK on
April 21, available through the Google Play Store and Dixons retail
stores.
The Google Chromebook Pixel 2 is nearly upon us; the successor to 2013’s Google Chromebook Pixelwhich runs Chrome OS – the web-based operating system.
There will be two versions to choose from on release; the £799 base model or the higher-spec £999 model.
So
what’s in store? Well, a premium aluminium body, 12.85 touchscreen with
25660x1700 resolution, glass trackpad and a backlit keyboard.
The
base model is powered by an Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM and a 32GB
SSD. If you want more bang for your buck, then opt for the high-end
edition which includes an Intel i7 processor, 8GB RAM and a 64GB SSD.
There’s
also a wide-angle camera lens and an impressive 12-hour battery, which
can get around 2 hours of life from just 15 minutes charge.
While
the MacBook offers a single 29W USB-C, the Chromebook Pixel 2 includes
dual 60W USB-C ports to allow users to connect two cables at once.
With
a beautiful look, competitive specs and a lower price tag than its
predecessor; the Chromebook Pixel 2 shapes up as a great alternative for
anti-Apple folk seeking a lightweight laptop.
The Google Chromebook Pixel 2 will be available through the Google Play Store and Dixons retail stores from April 21 in the UK.
