I made a video about critics misunderstanding the Google book and people are really taking this the wrong way. I don't think it's a bad thing to criticize the Googlebook. I DO think it's a bad thing to make like 20 minute videos saying they are unusable. Or to say not a single person should buy one. It's absurd. I think it's because so many people also think Chromebooks shouldn't exist and that they're not worth buying, but these are basically premium versions of Chromebooks.
It's a new OS so it's not perfect, but most of the bugs are already fixed or in the short pipeline to be fixed within the next couple of weeks anyway.
It is a web-based operating system with Android apps. And it should have been marketed like that from Google from the beginning. But it is worth buying for plenty of people and for people who want premium Android laptops.
But it is not a replacement for your MacBook or your Windows laptop. It's only a replacement for people who don't need all the application support right away.
We should be able to have a nuanced conversation and say all of those things.
