Pre-ordered Chromebook Pixel LTEs should arrive today

By

chromebook_pixel_dtHere comes your Chromebook Pixel LTE. If you pre-ordered one of Google’s flagship Chromebook with 4G/LTE cellular connection through Google Play, you should be getting yours as early as today. Hope you didn’t have any weekend plans! 

Google took to Google+ yesterday to update customers that the Pixel LTE will start arriving in mailboxes on April 12, rather than April 8 as promised back in March.

Not to be confused for its slightly more affordable brother, the Wi-Fi-only Pixel, this $1,450 LTE model comes with two years of free 100 MB per month of Verizon mobile broadband Internet. However, it cannot hop onto Verizon’s 3G network even when it is in range as we reported last month.

On the hardware side, this premium Pixel LTE has the highest pixel density display of any laptop on the market right now – besting even the MacBook Pros’ Retina displays. Its 12.85-inch, 2560 x 1700 pixel resolution screen is also a touchscreen. Under the hood, this Chromebook is powered by an 1.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, 4GB RAM, 64GB of internal storage via a solid-state drive, and comes with 1TB of free Google Drive cloud storage for three years.

Want to bring a Pixel LTE home even though you didn’t pre-order one back when it was announced back in February? Google Play now lists this model as “in stock” on its website, so you could be receiving your very own unit within three to five business days. The slightly more modestly priced Wi-Fi-only Pixel is also available through Google Play for $1,300 and will also be shipped within the same timeframe as the Pixel LTE.

If you have an older MacBook or Windows system somewhere around your house, there's a chance you might that the device might be "too slow" or isn't getting security or major operating system updates anymore.

Microsoft's fading out of older Windows versions, strict requirements for Windows 11, and Apple's allowing newer MacOS versions to run on select Macs might have your computer in the dust. Even in the enterprise space, it is very expensive to replace older devices.

Chromebooks could soon borrow Window 11’s best multitasking feature
Chromebooks can multitask and have several windows open.

In the near future, Chromebooks could borrow one of Windows' best multitasking features. Currently, Chrome OS users might feel a bit envious of Windows 11's robust split screen menu that allows vertical, horizontal, three-way, and four-way divisions.

A recent developer flag suggests Google is at least exploring the possibility of adding more versatile instant splits.

I switched to a Chromebook for a week. Here’s what surprised me as a Windows user
The Acer Chromebook 514 on a table.

I'm a longtime Windows user, but ChromeOS has always piqued my interest as an alternative. Unlike MacOS, which does a lot of the same things as Windows, ChromeOS offers something entirely different. It's lightweight, efficient, and ships with the ability to run almost any Android app.

I recently came off reviewing an HP Chromebase All-in-One 22, and in my review period, I spent a lot of time playing with ChromeOS. But in addition to the Chromebase, I also have an original Samsung Galaxy Chromebook that I usually only go to for beta testing new ChromeOS features like Screencast.
