I think ultimately the Chromebook Pixel is going to be great for windows laptops. Google's main goal here seems to be not to actually sell any laptops, but to set a benchmark for reviewers. In every review of any windows laptop right now, the benchmark for build quality is the macbook pro, but reviewer's opinions generally seem to be that the MBP is a sort of pie-in-the-sky thing that windows laptops shouldn't even have to aspire to be. now the another laptop of this quality exists, it should be a bit more of an expected standard rather than an upper bound.
