This is a somewhat neutral and factual article on likely Google Pixel book specs, but what surprises me so far is that the tech media isn't catching on to the huge impact that Android apps on the Pixelbook will have on the market.

This is, after all, at least half of the reason that it is not called a Chromebook - it may or may not run the rumored "Andromeda" OS straight away, but clearly the mobile phone-scaled storage options prepare the unit to handle all of what you do on your mobile plus all of the desktop goodness of a Chromebook.

Think about it - that is what MSFT is trying to do with Surface laptops, but with nowhere near the mobile app mojo that Google can supply. - and Pixelbook will offer lower price points for comparable storage.and likely better processor power and screen res.

The spec list includes a "smart" stylus option, which is also a nod towards Surface users. This means that the Pixelbook OS will enable Google to compete with Surface at many price points below this premier model. Basically, the is going to be a killer model for Google-oriented Enterprise users to annoy MSFT mightily. And Apple? Do we really care anymore? Seriously.
