They can't show me how this new shiny thing can make me more productive at work. Looks like a giant phone from the video.

#722Gross. This is just more proof that corporations simply don't know how to market AI. Everything is an ad for an ad at this point. The very first thing they show this new machine doing is helping people shop for clothes using AI. No one is doing that, these people don't exist. No matter how hard corporate America wishes they did. This is why AI doesn't sell. This is why companies like Microsoft and Dell are pulling ba…
Only hackernews commenters know how to market AI, but they are too good to work for a trillion dollar corp
Well a number of people here work at those corporations.
Re: Googlebook
#723I just want to state for the record that this will fail harder than Google Plus.
Re: Googlebook
#724What is the product here? A chromebook with a different name, and some Gemini stuff thrown on top of the UI? This really just feels like an incremental upgrade to ChromeOS, with a new name to distance it from a brand that's synonymous with "cheap crap schools give to kids."
Surveillance PC, the product will be the people's collected data.
(they've gone to the next level this time)
Re: Googlebook
#725Looks nice. Where is this going to be discontinued?

I can only imagine the fashion horrors created by AI sycophancy. That said, most "fashion" is already a horror show.

#727I think if I wanted a cheap laptop I'd probably get the macbook neo, and if i wanted a non-gaming expensive one i'd get a macbook pro. I really don't see the market fit for this, I guess the android integration. But my god, I'd die of cringe if someone asked me about my laptop and I had to say "googlebook". Believe it or not, these things matter a lot, particularly if you're trying to target a young audience.
Chromebook users. I loved my Pixelbook, fantastic piece of hardware. When that ended, I went with an Acer Chromebook. Works fine, just not the same. I would go for a Mac Air or Neo, but only if I could install ChromeOS. I will most likely get a Googlebook, and would be more likely to do so if it was not named Googlebook and did not have Gemini built in.
As a linux desktop user, I would buy it only if I can wipe ChromeOS out of it.
Re: Googlebook
#728What CPU architecture does it have? No comment. What operating system will it use? No comment. Will I be able to play games on it? It has AI!
Probably arm with chromium
Re: Googlebook
#729What's funny is that these days if I see a Google product that I'm even remotely interested in, I just immediately write it off because I know it's something they will kill in a very short time frame. It's just never worth the hassle of buying/using a Google product. Never.
Agreed. I have been an early adopter of so many google products. I have been burned every single time. They have systemically and carefully sabotaged any trust the industry had in them.

#730I've read hundreds of comments about this and not a single one was positive.
