Gizmodo lies: <i>"It's just $50 short of enough to buy a MacBook Pro that has a similarly retina display"</i><p>No it is not. As pointed out, the non-LTE Pixel is $1300 which is $200 less than the $1500 MacBook Pro. If you want to compare similar machines, then at least amke an effort to make them somewhate comparable, duh!<p>The only valid criticism IMHO is the 32GB internal storage. Google should have priced the Pixel $1200, same as the Mac Book Air 13". Compared to the Air, the Pixel would be seen as reducing the internal storage from 128GB to 32GB, and increasing the screen to a high-resolution high-DPI one. That's a tradeoff that people can understand. Also, the $1200 base price would have allowed an end-user to upgrade (assuming it is upgradable) the RAM and SSD to 8GB and 128GB, leaving the total upgraded cost of the Pixel still a bit shy of the $1500 MacBook Pro 13" Retina, while having slightly lower specs (slower CPU, no ThunderBolt ports, lower-capacity battery).
