With so much advancement in technology, every company is trying to get ahead of the other in this fierce battle. Google Inc. (GOOG, Financial), one of the most prolific innovators of our times, is not one to be left behind.

Google ChromeBook Pixel is a carefully designed laptop that caters to the needs of web surfers. With excellent software, hardware combination and sleek design, it has managed to grasp the attention of many people in a short span of time. With a glass trackpad, high resolution screen and aluminum body, Google has ensured that the ChromeBook inspires awe. The much wider camera lens offers clearer image and clarity and the technical aspects of the Google ChromeBook Pixel are also amazing.
Intel core i5 is used for better and faster processing of the system and RAM is of around 8 GB, with a secondary storage drive of 32 GB enough to handle ample amount of activity on the laptop. While taking into consideration user requests for increasing battery life, Google has fully responded with a new laptop update. Now users can enjoy battery life of 12 hours, which is quite remarkable. Even with only 15% of charge, users would no longer have to plug in the device for charging because the ChromeBook would still be able to continue working for an additional 2 hours. The installation of C type USB ports on both sides makes it easier to charge the laptop. Multi device charging is also possible because of type C ports, and one can easily connect mobiles devices to the ChromeBook too. Data can be displayed and transferred over at much faster rates now. A “Ludicrous Speed” version project is also in the pipeline to provide smoother and faster processing. The ChromeBook Pixel is priced at $999 and has already hit the U.S. markets last week.
Chrome book vs. apple Macbook and Dell XPS 13
Where Google has launched the updated version of its ChromeBook, Apple (AAPL, Financial) has made sure not to give away the entire market share to its competitors.
