MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - LTE on Google Chromebook Pixel: Global availability

mgmueller · 05-30-2013, 06:51 AM

I've read different statements about LTE in Google Chromebook Pixel:

a.) LTE is bound to Verizon and can't be used outside of the US.
or
b.) There's no 3G module, so LTE is the only option.

The latter wouldn't be perfect, even in small Germany LTE isn't available everywhere. But, in combination with WiFi and MiFi/Surfstick, I could live with that.

But if a.) is true, it wouldn't make sense for me in Germany.

Does anyone have more details?
I've ordered a 32GB, WiFi-only, model because of that lack of information, but still could change my order...
