Google 13" Intel i5 32GB Chromebook Pixel (Open Box)

I love the idea of Chromebooks - everything in the cloud - but until I got the Chromebook Pixel, this experience has been lackluster. I previously was using the Toshiba Chromebook 2 2015 version and it was not that bad. But then I cracked the screen and needed a replacement. The Chromebook Pixel has always hovered in price @ $1K so I've kind of viewed it as a luxury that wasn't needed. Now that the price has come down it represents the best value that I've experienced for a Chromebook. I currently have over 35 tabs open - an overload that would force a Toshiba 2 crash. Yet, with the i5 (and 4mb of RAM seems to be enough) this thing is acting like a Macbook or something. I could go on but this is the best way to date, that I've encountered, to experience a Chromebook.Caveat: I needed to update the software at least through 3 cycles (from version 37 [i think] to current version of 57)Another Caveat: from the pictures it looks like there is a USB-C jack for the power. There isn't. It may have been built that way in another version of the Chromebook Pixel but not the one I got. Kind of annoying (because USB-C is amaze-balls) but minor annoyance right now. If I do want to connect this to an HDMI screen I could use the thunderbolt that this has.Surprise: I'm surprised that this is touchscreen, pretty cool, but I'm not used to it yet and haven't really used it.Another surprise: I could actually get a sim card and use this while traveling without Wifi. Doubt I'll do that, but it is an option, it seems.
