Against my better judgment, I have spent a lot of time with Google’s “ambitious” new computing platform, even outside my Lenovo Googlebook 15 review. Before I stepped away completely, a conversation with my colleague revealed that you can already find returned Googlebooks for hundreds of dollars off, and the poor critical and consumer reception indicates further discounts are inevitable. Each first-generation Googlebook actually boasts excellent hardware, making these laptops potentially unbeatable deals—if only they didn’t run the buggy and incomplete Googlebook OS.
