Google Chromebook Pixel vs Acer C7 Chromebook vs HP Pavilion Chromebook 14 ;Who is the Best?

W.A.Khan,                                                                                                                                            17/5/2013,                                                                                                                                                                                             Google Chromebook Pixel                                                                                                                                                                      This is the best Chromebook in the world, but even within the context of rating Chromebooks, it's not perfect. The slick-looking, Intel-powered Google Chromebook Pixel combines the touch screen support of Windows 8 with the MacBook Pro's high-res Retina display. It also includes three years of free 1TB cloud storage, and has a 4G LTE option.
But, Pricing starts at a lofty $1,299; Web-based Chrome OS requires you to be online to do most tasks; Web apps can't yet compare to most Windows or Mac software, especially for media-centric activities like video.
The bottom line: Despite impressive hardware specs and solid industrial design, the Chromebook Pixel’s high price and cloud OS limitations make it impossible to recommend for the vast majority of users.                                                                                Specifications

It boots up quickly and is simple to use.
But, Saddled with an ugly design, finicky touch pad, and short battery life, this feels like a far cry even from most budget laptops. The Chrome OS is still too limiting, though it's made some strides in a year.
The bottom line: At $199, the Acer C7 is an attractive proposition for anyone looking for a supercheap portable laptop, but the Chrome OS and short battery life mean you'll have to accept a lot of compromises.                                                            Specifications

Its big screen and Chrome's improved offline capabilities make a better case for the category.
But, Other Chromebooks perform better and run longer. The limited Chrome OS is still not for everyone, or even for most. This model lacks the mobile broadband that makers of other Chromebooks have touted as a must-have feature.
The bottom line: The HP Pavilion Chromebook 14 advances the argument for Chrome as a low-cost mainstream computing environment, but the laptop's most noteworthy feature is a slightly bigger screen.                                                                    Specifications
