Community Reviews

Googlebook is a premium Android laptop aimed at people who want tight phone and laptop integration, native Android apps, and a desktop Chrome browser in one device. The $900 model stands out for its 120Hz 3K OLED display, 16GB of RAM, 512GB of storage, solid build, and bundled Pixel Buds 2a, with some also noting Best Buy rewards and cashback can improve the price. The main concerns are the unclear OS messaging, limited confidence in Android app maturity and business use, and doubts about upgrade or dual boot flexibility. It feels best suited to Android users who want a connected, consumer focused machine.

They are asking $1,000 for a Chromebook and people are actually up voting this? LOL!
Geez, will you people calling this a Chromebook actually go out and do a little research first. Statements like that make you look uninformed.

I'm not sure either, but I'm going to take a chance. As a recent retiree, I'm questioning the need to remain in both the Microsoft and Google ecosystems. However, I still use a laptop daily and am not willing to work on a budget laptop (i.e. Chromebooks) and so a premium device that lets me live in the Google ecosystem seems like a great fit. Your skepticism is justified especially with Google's poor track record of abandonment. We shall see.
I think the abandonment issue is different in this case. First of all, Google isn't building any of the hardware, five established companies are doing that. Google has been very good about software support, it's the hardware they have problems with.

Calm down Sparky. Googlebook is the successor to Chromebook, but if it makes you feel better have at it. I still would not pay $1,00 for an android based laptop.

It would be great to get one for a dollar. Check out what a Dell XPS with Windows costs, it's the same or more.

For $1299 you can get a Microsoft Surface Pro or a Macbook Air. Why would you settle for a glorified Chromebook (Uh....I mean Googlebook) running Android?

I have a Surface Pro 12 (13") with 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and a Flex keyboard. The new devices are giving us an opportunity to change the way we use our computers with our phones. Obviously, you wouldn't buy one of these if you're an apple guy, but phone integration with Windows is pretty horrible. Do some research on how all this integration is going to work, you might find that this is something you could get a lot of value from. The Linux folks are going to love this.

You misunderstand me. I am not saying there is no use for these devices. I am saying they are overpriced for what they offer.

Check out a Dell XPS 13 running Windows, this is the same or cheaper. So why is it too expensive just based on the OS?

The one thing I think is pretty cool about these, is if you're an app developer. It sounds like it'll be easy to develop and run your app natively which is pretty awesome for development.

I've used the simulator in Xcode for iOS apps but it can be pretty annoying, especially with no touchscreen.

$900 for a Pixelbook/Chromebook? I'd rather get a MacBook Air from Microcenter at around the same price.
Does that macbook have OLED convertible display?

Exactly this. I've asked on lots of forums -- "what WORK can you do with it" and no one has been able to answer it. Sure, tons of people use Android phones, but for crap like email, browsing, social media, ordering food, banking, etc. Who is the audience for this expensive Android toy? And what if GooglebookOS fails? What other OS can you run on your $1300 boat anchor? It seems like a solution for a problem that doesn't exist.
These days for the most people, what work is not in a browser?!


Now I'm a dev and use nothing but higher end computers windows and mac... But I am very interested in a. Googlebook and not for work. And I appreciate a premium device. I have never owned a Chromebook for this very reason... Cheap. I don't want slow or it works. I like exceptional hardware and experience. So yeah, this will be the first time in ju Google. Never owned their phone and their track record is to make and abandon, but somehow this thing has my attention. It would be a nice 3rd device for me. I still have window sans Mac for what I need, but I think they are on to something.

You made my point...if work is done in a browser, why do you need a powerful, expensive laptop?

Maybe I'm behind the 8ball since I've been hearing a lot a/b these Googlebooks lately, but I'm not understanding the hype or overall appeal...
