		r00fus on Feb 28, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Chromebook: Ubuntu alongside stock Chrome OS Chromebook Pixel doesn't really challenge Apple in this regard yet. It's underpowered, underfeatured hardware costs equivalent to an MB Air and almost MBP-r. It's a shot across the bow of battleship Apple, but the low-cost Chromebooks are far more of a threat to both MS and Apple.

Apple doesnt compete on the power of their hardware - they compete on desirability. I would say hardware wise this is at least as desirable as anything that apple ships. This with a haswell refresh is going to be sweet.
