At Google's I/O developers conference yesterday, the search giant gave away more than 6,000 units of its latest laptop, the Chromebook Pixel.
The computer, which runs Google's own Chrome operating system, costs a whopping $1,500 thanks to its high-resolution touchscreen and beautiful metal design.
Google released the Pixel back in February, but it's giving the device away for free to I/O attendees this week to encourage developers to start building apps for it.
Google's Chrome operating System is pretty much just the Chrome Web browser, but there is a desktop mode that looks similar to Windows PCs or Macs. The Pixel also comes with a free 1TB of cloud storage space via Google's Drive service and can connect to the Internet using Verizon's LTE data connection.
