Google has introduced Googlebook, a new line of laptops aiming to fill the gap between basic Chromebooks and premium devices. With a more refined design and improved components, the company is trying to directly compete with Apple's MacBook Neo, offering an optimized Chrome OS for superior performance without reaching high-end prices.
Hardware and system: beyond the traditional Chromebook 💻
The Googlebook features latest-generation Intel Core i5 and i7 processors, along with high-resolution displays and long-lasting batteries. Chrome OS has been modified to run Linux and Android applications more smoothly, including support for light video editing and programming. RAM starts at 8 GB, and SSD storage reaches 512 GB. The chassis is made of recycled aluminum, and the weight remains at 1.3 kilograms. The starting price is around $899.
Googlebook: the Chromebook that now thinks it's superior 😏
Google has decided that its new laptop is so good it no longer needs to be called a Chromebook, as if changing the name would make it compete with Apple. The funny thing is, for $899, you still have an operating system that needs an internet connection to be useful, although now you can edit a video of your cat before uploading it to YouTube. At least the recycled aluminum will make you feel eco-friendly while you wait for a web page to load.
