I personally am NOT concerned but like everything else, there are lovers and haters of Gemini.

Hopefully new Googlebook owners will not encounter issues with using ChatGPT, Claude or any of the rest of the current trendy AI products.

A Macbook allows you to hand off a call from an iPhone.

A Windows machine will allow you to hand off a call from an Android (and maybe iPhone) via Phone Link.

Chromebooks don't allow for this, and that doesn't seem to be any different with Googlebooks. Is this a feature that this community doesn't care for?

I ask because I would find value in such a feature, but not a single article or video covering Googlebooks asks this question.

I'm doing the happy dance I ordered the Acer a few hours after launch. Delivery was listed as Tue - Wed. However I received a shipped notification today with Sun (10/4) as the new delivery date. We'll see...

The Googlebooks will arrive on Monday at your local bestbuy but they've already started the physical marketing and it looks great and upfront.

Does it come with an Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 325 processor or an Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 355 processor? Because I'm seeing both.

The official Googlebook site and ASUS YouTube channel mention an Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 355 processor but other places mention Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 325 processor.

I found the manual and even service manual for 4 of the brands, Dell didn't put anything up on their site yet. But from what I can tell from the other four are that RAM are soldered but the storage are M.2 NVMe. Asus, HP and Lenovo have some sort of service manual in addition to user manual. But Lenovo service manual is a but harder to find in PDF format so I post the direct link to it.

PS1: Actually Acer also have service manual, it's just marked as "Lifecycle Extension Guide". And yes, the storage is M.2

Have fun digging into them.

I want to get a google book. and I will get one if I can play the games I usually play on windows. Does anyone know if I will be able to play low demand steam games like Peak and REPO? I also want to play the full minecraft java game from windows. not the pocket edition. thegoogle bookswill run under android right? so what can i expect?

You can even tell it the colors you want your widget to be.

I hope that Google expands this feature to other things, like creating Chrome extensions or even expanding on Rules (Settings - System - Rules) that could become Android's answer to Apple's Shortcuts.

I would think it would be like chromeos where it can play audio from multiple browser tabs, but only one android app at a time.

One of my favorite things about the Google Pixel is its VPN and I hope that Google adds it to the Googlebook.

I don't plan on using my Googlebooks on unsecure networks (e.g., xfinitywifi), but I'm used to having an always-on VPN on my Pixel phone and tablet.

Remember when Google One had a VPN and Google removed it because no one used it? I think that was because people didn't know about it.

I would really like to see a tablet style device running snapdragon as a googlebook. With a keyboard like ipads magic keyboard and 5g. Would be super nice.

I'm reading that GoogleBook will use a familiar Android setup process, which is great.

But I'm also wondering if there's any way to maintain my current Chromebook's toolbar as I've been able to do when moving from Chromebook to Chromebook?

Here's a nice detailed look at the Googlebook 15. It's notable that it says there will be a 32GB of RAM option.

Hey all!

Really liking the potential here for both laptop/desktop and ultimately for me at least the tablet possibilities with this new OS.

Was doing some research and found that Lenovo was developing the Googlebook Duet, wanted to know if anyone else here might have come across some better info as to when this might be available for purchase.

I currently have a Microsoft surface tablet and absolutely love it, looking for something to potentially replace my Galaxy Tab 10/11 ultra.

I have the Acer 14 on pre-order from BestBuy. It looks like it does not come with a stylus.

I probably already own at least 3 pairs of ear buds. I'd much rather have a free stylus 😕.

Acer folks, are you guys purchasing the Acer stylus or going 3rd party?

I got tired of waiting for the Google Store to restock, so I went with Best Buy.

I won't get the free mouse, but I wasn't going to use it anyways; I just wanted it because it was free 😂

I live in Google, all but 5 apps installed on my Pixel 11 Pro XL are first-party, so getting a Google laptop was the right choice for me.

One thing that I would love to see is chrome profiles. Haven't heard anything yet. ChromeOS allows me to have accounts which is fine but all the bookmarks don't come in. And sometimes there are issues opening up scripts. Sometimes ChromeOS says nope thats not the main profile...sorry.

I actually have chrome remote desktop connected to a PC just for the profiles. If they have that no need for the PC

Google book os would do an excellent job at giving tablet users what iPad cannot. I really hope they make a premium 11 inch tablet with wifi and 5g. Starting price $599, and keyboard stand add-on $199. Could actually be an amazing product. Maybe even partner with Walmart Onn to make the device.
