Chromebook-Pixel-LTE

You can already get your hands on Google’s new Chromebook Pixel if you don’t mind a Wi-Fi only model, but if you want to ensure you can get things done on the go — even without a Wi-Fi hotspot — you’ll want the one with LTE connectivity.

Google has remained relatively quiet about this particular model since launching its new notebook back in February, but it has now updated its Google Play store to confirm the Chromebook Pixel with LTE will be available “by April 8.”

Did you know that Google’s former head of Android worked at Apple for a few years in the early 90s? Andy Rubin was a manufacturing engineer at Apple from 1989-1992. He still has his old business card, and it looks awesome with the retro Apple logo and unofficial title, “Bad Example.”

Since he moved away from Android to work on other stuff at Google, Rubin has been posting a lot more to Facebook, like the scanned version of the above card. It will be interesting to see what “moonshot” projects he works on next.
