![]() I am from the “old school” and I don’t believe in paying top dollar for limited storage space. So while I can appreciate the hardware of Chrome-books? I’m not a fan at all. I finally decided I wanted an IPS screen laptop. The only reason I’m not still using my Chromebook as my main laptop is that the screen is not IPS. To get more storage on a Pixel, you have to use the SD card slot or a USB slot. On my Chromebook 14, I replaced the 16 GB NGFF drive with a 128 GB one. The downside with a Pixel is that the SSD is not removable/replaceable. ![]() I believe that the same things are possible with a Pixel. After that, it’s no riskier than a regular computer. Still, you can open the machine, remove the write protect screw for the BIOS and switch it so it always boots to SeaBIOS instead of loading the Chrome OS bootstrap by default (which I eventually did to mine). However, it’s true that if you leave it that way, it’s possible that for no particular reason it will mess up your install on occasion (it happened once on my HP Chromebook 14 when I was booting it that way). Well, my experience is not with a Pixel, but generally if you become distracted, the machine will just fail to boot, unless you tell it to do more.
