We wanted to rethink everything possible in a laptop'The screen is the highest resolution screen ever shipped on a laptop, and we don't want users to deal with pixels - so users will never see them.
'
People want to reach out and touch
- so we built in full touch.'The laptop, the first Google has designed and
built itself, will be made in Taiwan.
It will compete directly with Apple..The
machine uses Google's Chrome OS, which is based on the firm's web browser.
Although it does have a hard drive
like a traditional laptop, Google also gives buyers a 1TB drive on on it's
'cloud' service, which is free for three years - although the firm said it did
not know how much users would have to pay to keep this after three years.
'
We believe that's about the
lifespan of the Pixel,' said Mr. harendra
