For all of their technological genius and massive resources, Google sure doesn't know how to make hardware. It's a problem that has plagued them for years but it seems to be best highlighted with the Chromebook Pixel. Over at CNET, they were focused on one of the major bugs with the laptop - the challenge the device has with connecting to cameras. There's good and bad that comes with having an operating system that is designed to be light and shareable. One of the bad parts is that you often miss some of the common accepted notions that other operating systems (and their users) take for granted.
Because it runs on what is essentially a souped-up browser, Chrome OS faces the kinds of difficulties that don't plague other operating systems. The regular updates can be a two-headed coin. Changes are made regularly and the browser OS gets better more often than not and on-schedule. But it also means that if the browser's performance is off during an update cycle, you're stuck with that hit.
