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.

- serial_dev 5mo agoOr Chromebook? It’s the same with the messengers, they can’t settle on a single brand.
- spankalee 5mo agoThis runs Android, not ChromeOS, so the Chromebook name doesn't fit. That said, Googlebook is a terrible name and reusing Pixelbook would have been way better.

- Insanity 5mo agoAgreed, Pixelbook does sound better that Googlebook. But maybe it's just a matter of getting used to it
- ocdtrekkie 5mo agoThis 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.

- verdverm 5mo agoAfter 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.
- hansmayer 5mo agoPlease tell me you're being sarcastic here?
- fundad 5mo agoYeah the name is a little clumsy sounding. I think Pixelbook isn't as recognizable as Chromebook. I guess they don't want the baggage from Chromebook because Chrome is a given Google wants people to think Google == AI the way they think Chrome == internet. We may not like Copilot but the truth is Google's OS is already delivering what Apple Intelligence promised on laptops and phones. Google has a lot of customers, a good amount of Apple customers seem to want Apple Intelligence. I'm interested in seeing how Google does against Apple (and curious what GoogleBook will cost). It's important to remember that it was in the works long before MacBook Neo was announced and maybe even before it was rumored.
