They just show that for widgets but I think that will be a big thing in the future

Everyone and their mom will have their own hyperspecific custom apps prompted into existence

Something like Claude Code with stricter sandboxing built into the OS for consumers

This just oozes design by committee. Googlebook is the most confusing name they could chooses, some asinine compromise...

Most people who haven't reddit would assume googlebooks are made by google

What name would you have chosen?

- Chromebook with Gemini

- Chromebook Pro

- Geminibook

- Googlebook

They all have their pros and cons.

I'm not sure what the difference from Chromebook, but if it's more capable then Chromebook Pro would do.

If they want to compete with Apple then focus on Pixelbook, maybe (ditch other vendors).

Another option would be to buy Ultrabook trademark from Intel.

Yes, they could have done a chromebook or pixelbook variant. No sane reason for a third brand that dilutes the other two aside from internal google politics/promotions and to show shareholders.

This does nothing for the customer and you can see a brand called Apple which has been successful with the Air, pro and neo under one brand.

Chromebook Pro is the obviously better choice in your list. Googlebook is clearly the worst.
