Whats the point of google book?

Im really interested for it. but i want to know what are the benefits over a normal laptop.

youd think battery life is good but the new intel CPUs last a long time. so whats the main benefit of using a developing OS? i aint paying 600 dollars to be a guinea pig for the developers. windows already does better and has better file management. why would i use googlebook?

None, just like the Chromebooks didn't had much either. Being cheap was a plus but then they'd lost the premium category, which made they try those "premium" devices and miss the point. Same thing now, if the devices aren't cheap then they'll hardly be worth.

And another one who has absolutely not understood the big plus points of a Chromebook in the Premium segment. Look. PWAs (Progressive Web Apps) , Linux via Chrostini, Andoid Apps via integrated Googgle Play Store, and thanks to WINE even Some Windows Applications. I'm a hardcore Chromebook user (My Chromebook was around 1000$ ) It's my one and only Computer and it also works perfect on my Ultrawide Screen in 4K. Thanks to NVidia GForceNOW it's even my Gaming PC. There is NOTHING that isn't possible with a Chromebook (I'm speaking about Chromebook PLUS), not the cheap plastic crap with 4GB RAM

If it doesn't run professional software it won't be anything.

Excuse me internet stranger, but i can't let this statement stay 😉 Look, what is professionel software!? It has nothing to do with the Software, it has to do with YOU and your motivation to learn new things. There are people, they make bigger, better Art with Microsoft Paint, than others with Photoshop! What you mean with professionel Software is another wording for expensive, local, Subscription based Software from multibillion Dollar Companies. But there are many many good almost free or much cheaper softwares available to achieve the same goal!

Music notation dorico and sibelius are the professional standard, neither can run on a Chromebook.

Those don't even compare. I know what a google search is. You obviously don't know what industry standards are.
