Google's AI-first Googlebook laptop is almost here - can it avoid the Copilot+ PC problem?

Google is reentering the laptop market with the Googlebook, built with HP, Acer, Lenovo, Dell, and Asus, and expected around September. Google calls it the "next generation of ChromeOS," merging Android and ChromeOS with Gemini as a system-level layer. Features include Magic Pointer and Create Your Widget. Leaks suggest a premium line, including Acer's 14-inch OLED at roughly $1,200, while Chromebooks will continue to be sold and supported.
