I'm not sure either.
The logic behind Surface made sense from day one: MS proving how good Windows can be with good hardware while allowing pricing room for the OEMS to raise their game and still make money.
LENOVO, ASUS, and DELL got the message and we now have much better Tablet PCs at reasonable prices.
The Chromebook Pixels I never figured out.
Unless they wanted to see if Google brand loyalty allowed them to charge that much...
The Pixel C might be a second, more reasonable, attempt to see what the market will bear. Who knows, it might sell.
Or maybe they'll pop up on Woot by January.
