I Got My Hands on All the New Googlebooks. Are They Better Than Chromebooks? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The first crop of Googlebooks arrives just days from now, on Oct. 4. The new Android-powered laptop line, starting at $899 with systems from Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo, features several cool and useful unifying features, including a significant amount of Gemini AI. But should you buy one? I spent time with the five Googlebook flagship models to help you answer that question. These are my early thoughts about the concept, details, software, and hardware ahead of launch day. In the media bri

Demand from data giants is gobbling up memory manufacturers' supply before it’s even produced, driving up costs for PC makers and consumers alike. To keep the prices for their most affordable laptops in check, system makers are rolling out more and more models with just 8GB of memory—even Apple, with its cost-conscious MacBook Neo. So
I Just Tested Dell's 2026 XPS 13. Windows Just Got Its MacBook Neo (opens the original)

That's a big deal in these days of high hardware costs. An all-aluminum chassis, a super-trim design, a 1600p touch screen, and keyboard backlig
