Google’s latest attempt at making premium laptops is here, and they’re called Googlebooks. Putting the silly name aside, Googlebooks look poised to strike the perfect balance between the versatile ChromeOS ecosystem and the premium design of the now-discontinued Pixelbooks.
In short, Googlebooks are mobile computers in a premium chassis designed for basic tasks. Where have I heard that before? The same description applies verbatim to Apple’s new MacBook Neo. Assuming Googlebooks are priced similarly to the MacBook Neo (I’d think they would have to be for the sake of competitiveness), these brands look primed to go up against each other later this year.
