Google’s new premium laptop line starts at $899, ships October 4 in the US (Oct 5 elsewhere), and comes from Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo. It’s not a Chromebook. These run an Android-based OS with Gemini built in, with Magic Pointer, phone apps/files on the laptop, native Play Store apps, and up to 10 years of updates. Intel Core Ultra Series 3 and Snapdragon X Elite power the first models. Every unit includes a year of Google AI Pro. "Googlebook represents the best of what a deep engineering partnership can achieve, bringing together the strengths of Intel, Google and our ecosystem partners Acer, ASUS and Lenovo to create something truly compelling for consumers. By combining Google's innovative experiences with Intel's latest advances in performance, AI and connectivity, Intel-powered Googlebook laptops delivers a premium experience that helps people do more, create more and stay connected wherever they are." - David Feng, Intel Vice President, CCPG; General Manager, Client Business Group

The FOMO that the market is going to undergo soon (again) with Intel is going to be miraculous. Institutions are already loaded to the gills during this drawdown (that they caused). The sudden, immediate realization by the rest of Wall Street and Main Street that they have completely undersold and underestimated the extent to Intel’s roadmap / ability to execute - is going to be a sight to see. Time to release the bees and make honey.
