Google has announced the latest version of its Chromebook computers, adding a high-quality touch-sensitive display and the option of 4G connectivity.

The Chromebook is a laptop-type device that runs on Google’s Chrome operating system and relies on cloud storage.

Customers in the USA and the UK can now buy the WiFi-enabled version of the Chromebook Pixel, which is priced at £1,049 ($1,299). It has an aluminium alloy body, a backlit keyboard, an Intel i5 processor and a 239 pixels-per-inch 12.85-inch screen.

A version that also includes a 4G LTE connection will be available in the USA from April.

Mark Bridge writes:

The most memorable moments in life often go unrecorded. You don't have your camera in your hands. Your finger is still hovering over the 'pause' button on your audio recorder. Or you were simply too busy experiencing whatever was happening. It's all about the one that got away.
