I was thinking of getting a Chromebook Pixel for my daily use. And I kinda wanna know whether it's suitable for installing and running Windows on it. And yes I like its designs a lot. So what do you guys think of it? 

is any overpriced flagship device worth it (apple, samssung galaxy s and note etc)

 

 

 

ask yourself, do i need that much performance on a chromebook? do that for all flag ship devices by the way 

 

edit: sorry i did not read proper. i kind of rant whnever some one says is a flagship worth it

for windows, yes the hardware looks like it can work but i dont know if u can. like you could other issues.

i found a link:http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/how-to-install-windows-chromebook/

I was trying to install Windows on it. If so I could get a little bit more compatibility. Just wanna know whether it would run just fine or it would stuck like hell.

Okay. Thanks. Well if I can mess around with its software just like I did with a ThinkPad X100e I think I would like it. Lol. The redundant computing power I think it can be used for programming and everything. I can make use of that.

Right. I'm just wondering what kind of plans might be in the works for ChromeOS if they're packing an i7 (5500U btw).

Um constantly ping localhost? I dunno. I just really like their design but I guess that WAS a waste of money. Heard that Google stopped selling the low-end ones.
