While Wildcat Lake might be the heart of Firefly laptops, the actual Firefly laptop reference design was worked in conjunction with China’s tech ecosystem, Neelalojanan said. Those companies were accustomed to stripping out as much cost as possible for China’s phone ecosystem, and Intel leveraged that as part of the Firefly designs. Neelalojanan called that a “recipe” for further innovation, and across the rest of the world. “The program itself kick-started that platform innovation for this part of the segment, and you’ll see a lot more designs,” Neelalojanan said. On Intel’s video, Gao showed

With access to the Google Play Store, it seems likely that most Android games will at least be possible to launch on Googlebooks. Minecraft (notably a Microsoft-published game!) and Roblox were the only ones seen in the initial promo materials, and even then, only as an app or link in the Googlebook equivalent of the Start menu.

Google Android is, arguably, one of the top gaming platforms on the planet, even if that’s only secondary to its function as an OS. (Hey, if Windows gets it, why not?) Google has t

As I said, the entire point of Googlebooks seems more to deliver a hardware platform for Google’s Gemini “AI” than to actually compete with Windows, Mac, and Linux as laptop platforms. Every element of the OS is absolutely dripping with Gemini. Google has created an “AI”-focused operating system from the ground up…something I bet a few people on Microsoft’s Copilot team are feeling envious of right now.  What can you do with Gemini in there? Pretty much everything you can do with Gemini on a phone or laptop, plus some extra tricks. You can “create your own widgets” (though they look a lot like
