Perfect couldn’t be better that’s what everyone needs only happy customers from now on, Except… AI is a scam, sure it will fire like a machine gun bullet’s of code and text summaries but if you trust that… well, get ready to suffer either by overpaying or by overworking the simplest things. AI is mediocre at best, so are most of us humans but we have our moments right?

No one is going to be buying googlebooks unless they compete with macbook neos or airs.
@keithframe3489

the main problem is, neo and air are full fledge desktop OS, whereas googlebook is just an android – neo/air are far more capable

MacBook nah bro Googlebook — yeah I’d liked it if it was called Gbook much cooler!!

Alright Google has the market figured out! Just in time when everyone was looking for higher priced laptops, with AI slapped all over it. And just what everyone wants on their expensive laptops, mobile apps! With a mix of x86 thrown in, I am sure the software compatibility will be amazing.
You go Google, don’t stick to anything, just keep throwing spaghetti at the wall, that is how you build up a customer base.

I hate the awful AI infestation. It would be a different thing if AI actually offered some tangible benefit to users, but too often it’s wrong, slow, and Google is going to tie it down with a subscription model (which is ALWAYS terrible) as soon as people have no choice but to use it.

I can already see the wiggle gesture opening Gemini being a constant point of annoyance when Gemini tried to do something with your programme when you’re just moving the cursor or trying to decide what you’re going to do next.

This is nothing but an AI slop re-brand for chromebooks.

If this still have compatibility issues with current most used apps it will not go anywhere. Ai slop won’t be able to save it. Windows really need a serious alternative. Not just a glorified browser.

made to gather your data and help you create slop. better call it slopbook.
@neilfordan
May 12, 2026 at 8:40 pm
Not really looking forward to this especially with the heavy emphasis on ai slop. I just want a normal laptop that doesn’t get in your way. Doesn’t fight you. Can run your apps so you can do your work properly. I think google is missing a real opportunity here. They should emphasize on app compatibility, and reliability.

This could be a huge success, or fail.
If you use an Android phone, thinking about the ecosystem is quite exciting.
Premium, I don’t know if that’s a good or a bad thing.
Pricing might be an important factor as well, provided the MacBooks exist (from the Neo to the Pro) that are used by pretty much everyone, video editors, programmers, students, etc. Are Googlebooks going to do all that?
The name, not cool bro 😂

Windows 11 getting trashed for forcing AI, and now Google create a laptop with AI OS. Are they really paying attention? No one wants this.
