Droid Life posted details, pointing out that the ‘Pixelbook’ will come with 128 GB, 256 GB and 512 GB internal storage variants. One thing to note here is that these Chrome OS devices will not come cheap. According to the report, the 128 GB variant will go on sale for $ 1,199, the 256 GB storage variant will be priced at $ 1,399 and the 512 GB variant is expected to cost a staggering $ 1,749. The expected Stylus, the ‘Pixel Pen’ is not likely to be bundled along with the ‘Pixelbook’. Instead, potential customers will have to shell another $99 to get the stylus. At these prices, the Pixelbook is priced at par with Apple’s MacBook Pro 13 lineup.
