A Space for All Things Chrome

    I’m about to either buy the pixel or the dell 13 and just want to hear what you would advice. The money is not an issue since my my employer has agreed to pay for whichever I want. It’s going to be my daily driver and I work full days in front of the computer.

    I live in Sweden where the Pixel is not available but I can buy it when I travel to USA (or ebay) The drawback to this is if there are some hardware issues at some point, there’s no authorized place in Sweden to send it to. The dell 13 is available in Sweden.

    Which machine would you go for?

      Lucas, I am profoundly sorry I missed this. For some reason, my notifications failed and I didn’t see this comment. While I’m sure you have made a purchase by now, I would push you towards the Dell since there is some hardware support where you live. Unfortunately, I had a few hardware issues with my Pixel LS (not the one in this review) and had to have it replaced for a faulty fan. The replacement was having some screen flicker issues, so I returned it and bought the Dell Chromebook 13 i5 with touchscreen. It is amazing and was on sale for $799, so $500 cheaper than the Pixel. I love Google and love the Pixel, but let’s face it, they aren’t a hardware company. Dell is. They will likely stand behind and support their product much longer. If you got the Pixel, you have yourself a stellar device, so I would worry too much about it.
