Googlebook vs Chromebook: what is different and who it suits

No idea yet and neither does anybody writing about it, which is the thing to hold onto. Continuity is the feature most dependent on both devices being recent and on the same account, and it is historically where these launches overpromise. Worth waiting for somebody to try it with a two year old phone.

Googlebook vs Chromebook: what is different and who it suits

The 16GB minimum is the line that tells you what this actually is. A Chromebook could ship with 4GB because the whole premise was that the browser is the computer. Requiring 16 before you have installed anything means the assumption has changed: there is a model running locally and it wants room.

Which is also why the price is where it is. That is not a margin decision, it is the hardware the pitch requires.
