I planned to wrap up my 2 weeks with the Pixel C tonight however due to the fact that my Pixel C decided to fail a few hours ago (while I was typing up my review) I will need to put this on pause for a few days until Google can ship me a replacement. It looks like the flash storage module on the Pixel C is dead which lead to all of the data being lost and the device in a boot loop. Google should have the replacement out to me within the next week.
