I didn't know they'd be popularPeople want Android on a laptop that much??
People love no bios and locked in OS
>>109939474what's the difference with chromebooks?
So it’s just Pixelbook 2. Amazing innovation from Google
>>109939741you can flash coreboot and install linux or windows on chromebooksmaybe you can do the same with these in the future
>>109939474It's just indians.
>>109939474It's a lie. It's like when for new movies they pretend that everybody but you watched it and loved it so you must absolutely go and see it now.>>109939741This is probably even worse, because nothing ever improves, everything always gets worse.
Let me guess>proprietary>no useful apps>bootloader locked
>Look ma I posted it again
>>109939918all the normie apps are in the browser
>>109940110No, all the normie apps are exclusively on the iOS App Store and Android Play Store. Desktop use is an afterthought or impossible for normie apps
The price for it is unforgivably high.The x86 version was a waste of development money.
>>109939741Chromebook = GNU/LinuxGooglebook = AndroidThis is the primary difference.
They're also going through with killing off ChromeOS with many newer Chromebooks supposedly getting an upgrade to Googlebook OS at some point.https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/09/google-seemingly-confirms-plans-to-kill-chromeos-in-2034/https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/16634428
>>109939801What? But I thought it really was “The number one movie in America!” You mean to tell me this was a fabrication? I always wondered why companies didn’t advertise their movie as #2. Not everything has to be perfect.
>>109940786>Chromebook = GNU/LinuxNo GNU
people don't need AVX512 in a laptop
>>109940786chromebooks are cheap and have shitty specsGooglebook is Macbook priced and has shitty specs
>>109940901It's functionally in the GNU family. It retains some of the same limitations with SoC support, and energy aware scheduling/frameworks compared to Android where these are first class..>>109940936"Premium" Chromebooks have always existed with high end CPUs, chassis, and screens. Googlebook is going to end up replacing this line as ChromeOS can't be made competitive with M series macs or even ARM Windows.Not going to fault anyone for not knowing this as it seems the only people who only ever used them are Google employees/contractors.
>>109941156>its functionally in the gnu familypeak dunning kruger retard conflating the physical spec with a userland
>>109939474you know what else sold outthe ai pin
>>109940222Well Googlebook OS is based on Android so surely you can run Android apps on it. Right?
>>109942664Yes
>>109939474Most likely 95% elementary schools, many are saying this.
>>109943562Do you really think elementary schools are buying premium $1,000 laptops?
>>109939474Lemme know when you can erase shitdroid and install a proper fucking Linux distro on it.
>>109943941schools are retarded and are buying premium Macbooks all the time
>>109939474no they didn't
>>109939771This. More examples of Jeet inflitration exporting wealth to jeets abroad. Fuck jeets.
Seems to be the future of normie home computing.>heavy integration with your phone>uses phone apps from Google play store>Google gemini integration with some tasks/apps>gaming over the cloud with a geforce subscription>Streaming services bloatware built inIt's everything a normie could wish for
Seems like a a good deal
>>109939474Is it limited production?Because small batch is how Apple pretends there is demand for most of their bullshit products that don't sell.
>>109943941Dunno my company is buying hundreds of X1 Carbon just for foids to write excel sheets.
>>109939474Fake scarcity is a well known marketing strategyThey produce like 10 laptops then say they are completely sold out
>>109939741>what's the difference with chromebooks?About $600
>>109939474yes and there's 2 billion of them in the indian subcontinent
>>109941156ywnbag
Normies think this is Google's answer to MacBook Neo? Lol lmao even. They're gonna be in for a surprise when their new laptop doesn't run anything they were familiar with kek
>>109939474I keep hearing about this, but I don't care enough to do research. Is it just another Chromebook of some sort or what, what's so special about this?
>>109943965Schools get MacBooks for free or very cheap. This is well-known. They give free and very discounted Macintosh computers to schools so that kids will grow up using them and become paying customers in the future.
>>109944325A company is not an elementary school
>>109941156Fixing ms office for ChromeOS would inadvertently fix it for Linux, and Microsoft would never in a hundred years toss us that bone, neither would anyone else, until foss Linux can be made unusably shit and the only way to use a computer is through one of 3 data collection overlords
>>109939474This seems kinda pointless but like I hope whoever buys one is happy with it :)
>>109948082They are AndroidOS laptops, the initial wave of these are premium 1000 dollar thin and lights laptops; Google has been vague posting about the future of ChromeOS: this launch won't kill their support for chromeOS, but they appear to be merging all of Google operating systems into Android, but don't yet have the software suite/cheap googlebooks for schools. Half the marketing is Gemini integration.Should you care? if you have a Chromebook plus as you should be allowed to upgrade to the new OS, and if you want your laptop to have best in class syncing with an Android phone; otherwise stay away, let the tech reviewers beta test this probabable victim of the Google Graveyard.
>>109944325make sure to get them after they dump it for a mac then sell it for cheap in ebay
>>109944113tbqh, for normies that's better than downloading malware or using windows, but then just buy a macbook and sell your soul to apple, they even released the neo.
>>109939474ANDROID VERY GOOD SAAR GOOGLE MUCH LOVE THANK YOU VERY MUCH SHUBH RAATRI
