Google Chromebook Pixel to compete with Macbook Pro with Retina Display ?

Google's approach with the Chromebook offers users an affordable and portable solution which makes use of cloud based technology instead of desktop applications. Since most operations take place on the cloud  the Chrome OS computers don't need powerful processors like their PC counterparts.

However a recently leaked video suggests that this may change soon as Google attempts to leap into the high end PC market.

The video shows a new Chromebook called Chromebook Pixel, which is aimed at the high end computer market which is currently dominated by the Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display.

The video suggests that this Chromebook maybe designed by Google's own engineers instead of the company's manufacturing partners. It may in fact be the first successor to the Google CR-48 which first introduced Chrome OS. However Google has always focused on web technologies with their Chromebooks and Chrome OS. So it will be quite a leap forward if they make it a desktop operating system like Windows or Mac OS. Additionally the video shows touch interactions which may indicate that Chrome OS would be integrated with Android sooner rather than later.

In any case we aren't certain if this video indicates something we will see in the coming months or something Google has planned far down the line. This could also be a concept video which wont become a reality.

If the Chromebook Pixel is real, we should learn more about this device at the upcoming Google I/O so stay tuned for updates.
