I'm shocked, SHOCKED how bad google is at copywriting, and it clearly not mattering.
Do. Not. Want. Please keep your security nightmare out of the OS.
lmao can’t render on safari, get “this page was reloaded because a problem repeatedly occurred.”
Maybe someone could invent a format for presenting text and images over the internet that didn’t each require each text presenter to write custom (buggy) shader code?
man, even google product videos show a "watch this video on youtube". can't link anything anymore
They list Acer, Asus, Dell, HP and Lenovo on this site.
Any one would be a slightly bad sign for quality, all five are awful.
Yet another product range with lots of options, but not a single good one.
"Yes, I bought a special laptop from my advertisement pusher."
What a terrible name.
Plus the fact that they’ve clearly just ripped off the exact shape of a MacBook, but thicker and shitter.
So... they built a right-click-slop-generator and that's the default experience you get as the context menu?
Gross. I thought the Windows 11 miscreation was bad enough.
also, second question in re sideloading:
do the Googlebooks get the 24 hour fuckoff window for enabling sideloading or can I just walk granny through loading an .apk direct on the laptop
slopbook
lame
Another chromebook!
No thanks, I’m sick of companies with their super connected bullshit. MS , Google, Apple etc. We need more isolation between hardware and these conglomerates

> 8GB RAM.
Oh god, it's a curse. In 2026 we should be getting laptops with 128 GB of RAM. Instead we get some "new model" over and over, with 8GB.
Looks like another E-waste
Mehhhhhhhh
This is really dumb. I wish I had more that I cared to say.
Imagine buying hardware from Google, as if they haven't given enough reasons to distrust them.
You are the product.
Hard pass.
so.. a chromebook with extra ai slop?
I don't want to give them more of my data. I would like dignity, please. #datawithdignity
So, these will just be dumped into schools and the already deteriorating education system will just collapse because kids won't know anything and Gemini will just be doing everything for them.
I hate AI.
reddit? nope
Launch blog post up top perhaps: https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/platforms/android... (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48111082)
this deff going to feed all your shit to feed a hidden model running in the background
literal ai slop machine
"Cast My Apps" - did they, uh, use AI to make that actually work? Because it's very flaky on my Chromebook, which I am otherwise very, very pleased with (especially given the price)
This will end up on the killedbygoogle website probably 7 years from now. Probably right next to Chromebook at this rate -_-.
