Sure looks interesting:
ASUS - Googlebook 14" 3K OLED Touchscreen Laptop w/ Gemini Intelligence - Intel Core Ultra 5 325 (2026) - 16GB RAM - 512GB SSD - Dusk Ash ($1300? Best Buy)
I'm thinking of it as a replacement for the spousal unit's 2014 ASUS laptop (with Kubuntu on it).
They aren't giving it away. It doesn't compete with the Chrome books. It's in its own class.
In 2014, that ASUS laptop was, I think, $800, also not cheap. I don't know what it costs today.
The Googlebooks are not yet on the shelves.
It looks like there would be no problem transferring all the LibreOffice documents over. And even using LibreOffice, installed through a Linux container from a virtual terminal.
Just at the "researching stage" here ...
