We FINALLY Got a Googlebook (It’s a Real Laptop)

We finally got our hands on the Dell XPS Googlebook, so here’s my full unboxing, setup, and first 24 hours with Google’s new Android laptop running Googlebook OS. I’m covering the Snapdragon X Elite specs, Gemini AI features like Magic Pointer and Rambler, Pixel and Android 17 phone integration, how it compares to a Chromebook, and whether you should wait to buy one.
