Early Googlebook laptops impress on hardware but stumble on software

Reviewers have so far found that Googlebook laptops offer strong hardware, including keyboards, trackpads, and components. The main shortcoming is the Googlebook OS, which is described as buggy and lacking in app support. Its phone-and-laptop integration ideas are promising but not yet delivered in a smooth experience. Many testers say the system feels more like an Android tablet with a keyboard attached than a cohesive laptop operating system. The cheapest model costs $900, a price point where buyers expect higher-quality build and performance.
