Google just announced their newest piece of hardware, the
Google Chromebook Pixel. It’s a
Chromebook so it runs on Google Chrome.
Want to know what that’s like?
Run the Google Chrome browser and nothing else. That’s an over simplification but you can get
a good idea of what it is like.
Google has been trying to sell Chromebooks for a while
now and I have always been interested in them.
None of them have been powerful enough for my liking but they have been
set at a good price. Now that the Pixel
is out and available for purchase and that Autodesk is making a major push for
in the browser cloud based CAD software, could the Google Pixel be a viable
candidate for a mobile CAD station? I
can’t honestly say yes or no until I get one (Google can you send me one to
test please?) and try it out but my gut feeling is that it could be useful in
certain situations.
