Chromebook wars: Pixel vs. Samsung Series 5 550

That's not a mistake. The Pixel lists for $1,299. Some people are still reeling from Chromebook Pixel sticker shock. The Samsung Series 5 550 costs just $449. Yow! All that for a Chrome OS-based laptop which just has the Chrome Web browser running on top of an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution.

Some people are convinced that there's no way that anyone will buy a Pixel. I find it hard to believe myself so I decide to compare and contrast my Samsung S5 550 with the Pixel to see if I could justify the Pixel's price tag.
