This is the equivalent of a "concept" car you see at a motorshow. It isn't important for what you can buy so much as it is important for what a hardware designer can do. It isn't aimed at the consumer so much as it is aimed at Michael Dell, Meg Whitman, and Steve Balmer.

What you see in the Pixel will trickle down to lower cost Chromebooks in the future.

Couple that with the 2/22/13 announcement about QuickOffice, and this is Google's announcement to the world that Chrome is here and is the future of consumer/enduser computing.

Time will tell if Google is correct or not. (I'm thinking probably, yes)
