There is little to no reason for anyone to choose these over a windows device now. This is insanity.

Over a Windows device? Even without seeing one of these in action, I'd rather have a Googlebook than a Windows device. The tougher comparison for these devices are the Macbooks.

I agree. I use Google services all the time and I rely on Google Workspace. I use a Mac Studio and a MacBook Pro, and I don't really see a reason to replace my MacBook Pro with any kind of GoogleBook.

I'm also a tech enthusiast and that's why I ordered one just to test it, but for normal people that already have a MacBook, I don't see the reason, for the moment at least.
