The original Chromebook Pixel debuted in 2013 with an Intel Core i5 processor and either 32GB or 64GB SSD. It also makes use of a 2,560 × 1,700 resolution display and ran the proprietary Chrome OS. The new update however will be available with 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB SSDs. The new model will also bring stylus support and have a screen that fully folds. Essentially turning it into a tablet.
