2013 Chromebook Pixel – Spectacular Condition – Original Box and Accessories

For sale is the original 2013 Chromebook Pixel (WiFi). This was the very first Pixel computer introduced by Google, and it remains one of the most premium and technologically advanced devices the company has ever produced. It is also a fantastically fast and reliable computer, with the full power of Chrome OS. This machine, the Core i5 model with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of SSD storage, has been updated to the very latest version of Chrome OS, and it runs significantly faster today than it did at launch.

I consider the condition of this Pixel to be Mint. It functions flawlessly, the screen condition is perfect, and there are no signs of use. Because I take such enormous pride in the condition of my computer gear, there is one – and I mean only one – microscopic cosmetic flaw that I will fully disclose: a barely visible nick along one of the curved corners of the display lid. If I handed you the device and gave you 90 seconds to find this flaw, I'd bet the purchase price you would not be able to pinpoint it. It's that small and that insignificant. It's impossible to even photograph. But, I know it's there, and I take tremendous pride in my electronic equipment. So when I tell you it's the only thing about this device that separates it from "brand new" condition, I mean it. From the display glass to the keyboard deck and trackpad to the all-aluminum, gunmetal-gray enclosure, the device is otherwise FLAWLESS.

The display is a stunning 12.85" touchscreen panel with a 2,560 x 1,700 resolution. Like all original Chromebook Pixel displays, it does feature some mild "ghosting" (if you leave a static image on the display for an extended period of time and then abruptly switch to something else, a faint "ghost" of the previous image is barely visible but goes away after a few seconds). The speakers are also some of the best laptop speakers ever produced. The keyboard is best-in-class even among 2016 machines and features six stages of keyboard backlighting (including "off"). Likewise, the trackpad is one of the best ever produced for a laptop, with an etched glass surface "honed using a laser microscope to ensure precise navigation" according to Google.

The Pixel will arrive Powerwashed in its original factory box (also one of the finest boxes ever shipped by Google, btw) with the original factory charger, the original extension cable (which is still factory-tied and sealed in the box), and instruction manuals that are still in their original plastic. The unboxing and setup experience will be just like brand new. The Pixel will be shipped immediately after payment is received (if during local business hours) or first-thing in the morning the next business day.

At $565, the value available in this machine is second-to-none. It will serve your needs for years to come with the simplicity and reliability of Chrome OS. If you have ANY questions, please ask.
