title: Pixel vs MacBook vs Pi
---

When I read about the specs of the new MacBook, I was quite shocked.
In order to make it maybe a bit simpler for people to decide whether or not a certain price for a certain product is reasonable, I thought I might help a little bit with decision making by coming up with some comparison.
So, here it is.
The comparison of the Google Chromebook Pixel, the Apple MacBook and the Raspberry Pi.
Uh, Raspberry Pi?
Yes.
