Thinking about a Googlebook? Maybe wait.

What happened
Googlebook is Google’s new kind of laptop. 9to5Google’s Ben Schoon says most people should hold off. Prices sit around 1,000 dollars, some apps are still missing, and parts of it depend on your phone.
Why it matters
His biggest reason is timing. Memory chips are getting more expensive because of the AI boom, so prices on electronics keep rising. For the same money, a Windows laptop or a MacBook can simply do more today.
OTN take
Our take: this is one editor’s opinion, not a test score. Googlebook is new, and new platforms improve fast. If you need a laptop now, pick one that runs every app you use. If you can wait, let Googlebook grow up first.
