I&#x27;ve wondered about the price too, but I think with $200 they could upgrade to a 12&quot; IPS display and something like a Core M chip. Maybe the more square display would be too exotic, 16:9 is weird in tablet mode but could be acceptable for the price. I&#x27;d expect USB 3.1 charging in that timeframe too. Backlit keys are a $20 option for Thinkpads so they should be achievable too.<p>What&#x27;s there is already so nice and the form factor works so well I&#x27;d be really surprised (and disappointed) if we don&#x27;t see this in 2016, and it should be something of an inflection in the market to contrast with Apple&#x27;s unrelentingly expensive offerings.<p>The Pixel is clearly for Chromebook developers, or those with money to burn.
