Google unveils Googlebook

Replies (4)

  • The biggest selling point for Chromebooks was that they are A) Cheap and B) Simple/Fast. Education and Enterprise used them because they were easy to manage. The cheapest Googlebook is $899 and it’s biggest selling features are a bunch of AI junk nobody asked for. They also cannot be managed yet in the Google Admin Console. I expect this to flop something terrible.
