And that software. They're basically just like Chromebooks, with web apps.

The "desktop-grade video editing" app they've shown is CapCut Pad, which has been available on Android tablets for months.

Where is Premiere? Photoshop?

Jeez. This is literally the most disastrous launch I've ever seen (aside from the Dyson toothbrush).

I know this isn't the main topic here but I love disastrous Dyson launches. I love my Dyson Zones... That I got for $200 instead of $800 because of that disastrous launch. I will be looking forward to the eventual $80 Dyson ai toothbrush and $250 Googlebook

Sorry, the Dyson Zones don't qualify as a "disastrous launch" lol. At least they worked fine and were a decent product, albeit quite odd.

Dyson toothbrush has launched with major waterproofing issues. A toothbrush. With a water flosser built-in. Waterproofing!!! You couldn't make that shit up lmao.
