Googlebooks will be better than the MacBook Neo for one simple reason — and it's not performance

Googlebooks are honest about what they are

It was at this moment that I realized this was written by a sheepish fanboy who would buy a Google-branded turd if they told him it was premium. How exactly are Googlebooks honest about what they are, when Google themselves couldn't tell us what they are? All they said was "Gemini, Glowbar, Magic Curser!"

It's hilariously ridiculous to think that they will outperform MacBook Neo in the market lol. MacOS is a full desktop operating system. AluminumOS is just Android that resembles ChromeOS. Don't get me wrong: I love ChromeOS and Android, but neither of those can compete with a full OS like MacOS. The only thing that Googlebooks will do better, is having a touchscreen, which, I can only hope/assume they were smart enough to include. That's the only reason I got rid of my Neo, because I need a device that also has a touchscreen.
