Most reviews explicitly state, Chromebook Pixel doesn't have a 3G module.
It's either LTE or nothing (or WiFi of course), they state.
Reason being Google to enforce new technology.
I could live with that, as long as LTE in general would be working in Germany.
But if it's bound to a specific US provider, as one review stated...
A global model seems to come, you already find the product on the German website.
But if I look at the experience with Microsoft Surface Pro, it took 3 months.
I won't wait that long, if the US model is working in Germany.
Anyway...
I've ordered the WiFi-only model.
Should be here mid next week.
I don't have a problem with 32GB instead of 64GB.
And I don't really need LTE anyway (nice to have, though). For one, I'm not yet using LTE.
Only occasion, when LTE would come handy would be on my inner-German trips.
But then I'm normally on the train.
On the train I usually have WiFi.
When there's no WiFi, my problem is not about speed (LTE vs. 3G), but connectivity in general.
When frequently loosing reception, LTE doesn't make too much sense for me.
And on the other hand, I already have 6 SIM cards (2 contracts, 2 additional SIM cards in each) and don't want to have another one.
