This is truly lame.  A souped-up ChromeOS/Android system for proprietary 
AI, who in their right mind would even *think* about buying this piece 
of crap?  Maybe if one simply hates computers, something as dumbed down 
as this appeals, heh.  No thanks, Google, you're pretty good as a search 
engine and email provider, and such, but your laptop device is the last 
one I'd ever buy.

A Bentley, with a hood ornament.

I am glad at least one person has been paid to be excited about it :-)

Maybe they will only make one unit, and ship it to the
excited guy ? That would seem fitting.

Ha, yes, PCMag has the scoop on this crapware, and Wikipedia links you 
to it, meanwhile once it's actually released the Wikipedia page will be 
redone with criticism, inevitably.

Sandwich". ;-P

What's even more lame is you posting this trash to a bunch of unrelated
newsgroups.

Nobody in these groups cares about your whining or Google.

Fuck off.

It's a shame that you are such a poor debater as to not even have a 
consensus opinion with someone, namely that this product puts a price on 
something that can't be justified by the features it delivers.

Your wasted effort in posting that like the previous person's is your 
own foolishness.
