MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Google's high-end, high-priced Chromebook Pixel laptop became a market success in its creators' eyes on Thursday -- by influencing the design of a more affordable competitor from Dell.
The $1,299 Chromebook Pixel from 2013 and $999 Chromebook Pixel 2 introduced this year both run Chrome OS, Google's browser-based operating system designed to challenge Microsoft's Windows and Apple's OS X. Chromebooks have had limited appeal, in part because they run Web-based apps like Google Docs and Facebook but not traditional PC software like Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop, and the Pixel models' high prices cut that appeal even further.
But the Pixels succeeded in with battery such as dell 5819U battery, dell 2M400 battery, dell Precision M40 battery, dell Precision M50 battery, dell 3H625 battery, dell MT264 battery, dell Studio 15 battery, dell Studio 1536 battery, dell PP28L battery, dell RN887 battery, dell Inspiron 700m battery, dell Inspiron 710m batterytheir mission to influence more mainstream Chromebooks, said Rajen Sheth, leader of Google's work to push Chrome OS in businesses and schools, in an interview here at Google headquarters.
"In the early days of Chromebooks, most were low-priced plasticky devices. There's charm to that, but there are also premium users who want to have a better device," Sheth said. "The Pixel is the best Chromebook out there. This Dell is going to be easily the second best and at a much more affordable price."
The Dell Chromebook 13 starts at $399 for a laptop with a metal exterior, carbon fiber cover, 13-inch 1,920x1,080 screen, Intel Celeron processor, 2 gigabytes of memory and 16GB of storage. Prices range up to $899 for models with touch screens and more powerful brains. For full details, check out my colleague Dan Ackerman's look at the Dell Chromebook 13.
Chromebooks embody Google's seemingly boundless ambition. The OS X and Linux operating systems have barely dented the dominance of Microsoft's Windows on PCs, but Google thinks Chrome OS can. Success will mean more options for consumers and laptops that are accessible to low-budget buyers like schools and people in poorer nations.
Chromebooks are a success in schools, but their reliance on a network connection and inability to run a lot of Windows programs means they're not a mainstream product, said Gartner analyst Mikako Kitagawa. Still, they accounted for 8.1 percent of portable computer shipments in the first quarter of 2015 in the United States, she said. That figure should rise to 10.6 percent for the full year and rise further to 12.4 percent for 2016, she added.
