The Internet’s Verdict: 60% Skeptical, 40% Hyped

Forum Voices

Some experts have expressed concerns about Google’s history of abandoning products. As one user noted:

I attended Google I/O in 2013 and was given a Chromebook Pixel, their $1300 laptop. The hardware was very, very nice, and I quite enjoyed using it for a while. One day, I dropped it and damaged the screen well outside of its warranty period.

Others have questioned the laptop’s market fit. For example:

I think if I wanted a cheap laptop I’d probably get the macbook neo, and if i wanted a non-gaming expensive one i’d get a macbook pro. I really don’t see the market fit for this, I guess the android integration. But my god, I’d die of cringe if someone asked me about my laptop and I had to say ‘googlebook’.

Technical Details

Google has released a detailed feature set for the Googlebook, including an AI-powered mouse pointer. As described in a Deepmind blog post, this feature uses machine learning to improve pointer accuracy.
