Google's 999 Chromebook Pixel is no longer for sale

With HP announcing a line of slick-looking Chromebook laptops, Google may be closing the door on the Chromebook Pixel--at least for now. As VentureBeat reports, the 999 Chromebook Pixel has gone out of stock at the Google Store, which had been the only place to buy the laptop in the United States. Attempting to purchase this model--which comes with an Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM, and 32GB of storage--brings up a message saying it is "no longer available for sale." Google hasn't said whether this model is getting discontinued, though it seems likely the company isn't producing any more of them. From the outset, Google kept expectations low with the Pixel, an aluminum-clad laptop with a gorgeous 12.85-inch, 2,560x1,700 resolution display.
