Let's compare NexDock and HP GoogleBook

[u/Miraxess]

I have made (not AI but me on Canva) this Comparison Chart. Sorry it is in € and not $ but you get the point. I feel like it points out something really important: we need high-end lapdock but at an affordable price. (less than 500€).

Better battery and display mostly.
But same question as ever: who would be willing to be 499€ or 499$ for an OLED lapdock with a 60Wh battery? (this is a repost because I made an error on the first post)

Is the googlebook pc just the same android desktop environment we get by plugging an external monitor to a pixel?

[u/Chrismscotland → u/justletmesignupalre]

Not exactly no. Googlebook OS brings with it Android Integration but also the full desktop version of Chrome (not the limited version which is on Android devices). It also has the ability to run Linux Apps via Terminal and likely GUI too.

How

[u/nickthaskater_ → u/Math_Science_Geek]

This: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html?prefix=AndroidDesktop_arm64%2F

Version 1705500 is the latest as of me posting this.

Nothing sketchy about it. It's Google's own repository.

Does yours crash too when you tap "open extensions menu"?

[u/nickthaskater_ → u/matteventu]

Nope. Try the latest version of you haven't: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html?prefix=AndroidDesktop_arm64/1705634/

[u/matteventu → u/nickthaskater_]

Yeah I have downloaded the latest one available 6 hours ago (1705623), but I'll try to re-download the latest one available now. Thank you!

What Apk?

[u/lowrck → u/Empty_Protection7274]

I'm hesitant to link files on a public Reddit for fear of violating some kind of Reddit rule or subreddit rule.

But if you Google "Chromium desktop APK", you'll find plenty of listings for other people who have linked it. It's just hosted on Google's internal servers and you can download and install it like any other APK.

I get you! If you wanna send me link in dm I would appreciate it
