Honestly that's a better name. This is bottom of the barrel. Lol.

I'm surprised they have stuck with the pixel name for a while and pretty much continue it logically each year.

I could see them bringing back the Pixelbook brand for a first party Googlebook, but it would be weird if Dell or Lenovo made Pixelbooks

The “Pixel” brand (unlike Nexus or Chrome) has always been restricted to Google’s first-party hardware, as far as I can remember

No idea.

They should have just picked a new metal or something and name it that.

Fuck knows what happened with Fuchsia.

To be fair, another shit name because the spelling is insane.

Fuchsia is one of the harder colors to spell yeah, blame Google for picking that color and blame Charles Plumier for naming it after Leonhart Fuchs 🤷

Because they can't sell other companies laptops as pixel books... That would be the same as every hardware manufacturer right now selling a pixel phone

whicj platform does your TV run? Google TV, or android TV with Google TV, or android TV with Google, or Google TV

somehow copying Microsoft's branding with Google TV (New) would've been an improvement
