i like when people complain about google and ask you where the google phone number is, and they just can't wrap their mind around an average person having /no way whatsoever/ to reach googlepoeple

watching that after seeing the kin ad is what i imagine a colonic irrigation must be like

refreshingly and satisfyingly flushing out all the poo poo that accumulated in your brain during those sixty horrific seconds

both ads are obviously mean to cover up autism

the other does it by sending a girl a picture of an asian man-tit

All these little details result in a really unique design, and its been clear since the original Pixel that Google wanted to create their own device instead of just carbon copying another laptop.

  • autoplay suggested videos

gently caress i hate this part of every review for a bad thing

Google clearly doesn't intend for the Pixel to be a mass market item. It's quite expensive, it runs Chrome OS, and it's only sold in the US and the UK. There's clearly a small market for people that want a laptop like the Pixel though, and those are the people that Google are targeting. I am not one of them, and I do not know many people who are, but they do exist.

wow, is that so! like why isn't a reviewer allowed to comment on whether this is a terribly misguided product no one wants.

and seriously draw me the ven diagram that helps us find the elusive target market. OK, they're only in the US and UK, but not elsewhere. they can afford expensive computers. and not even this anime watching mega nerd is one. i am seriously drawing a blank.
