This is really cool (although they could've recycled the Pixelbook brand). I hope there'll be a way to dual boot Windows 11 on this.

This is the dumbest branding Google has ever come up with and I am here for it. I can't wait for the memes. Is that your Chromebook? No, it's my Googlebook!

Edit: It lists five OEMs, so it's not a Pixel equivalent, not Google-made hardware. Which makes it funnier, actually. Like if Windows laptops from every OEM were called Microsoftbooks.

Can't imagine this'll help the RAM shortage.

Or Chromebook? It’s the same with the messengers, they can’t settle on a single brand.

After the Pixelbook, I don't think I'm giving their hardware another chance. When through all the choices, back on Mac for that sweet silicon and a solid desktop.

Hey Google, take the cue from Microslops debacle with the "agentic" Windows : Nobody asked for this!

This will end up on the killedbygoogle website probably 7 years from now. Probably right next to Chromebook at this rate -_-.
