I guess, it's all about Google's business model.
On Nexus 7, their Android tablet, you can rent movies and the likes from Google Play. All cloud based, no need for memory expansion.
On Chromebook Pixel, there's no Google Play. You can access it via web browser of course. But you don't find any HD++ movies, that would show the capabilities.
I've tested a 30GB rip of Avatar for example.
So, to bring movies on a unit with such a great display, you either have to connect a USB drive or put it on an SD card.
So far, I don"t really have the need for my SD card yet. I've chosen the 64GB one, and I only put 2 movies there for testing.
