Google has announced a new laptop category called Googlebook. The company says the platform combines Android, ChromeOS, and Gemini AI to create a new generation of AI-focused laptops.

The announcement comes more than 15 years after Google introduced Chromebooks for cloud-based computing. According to the company, computing is now shifting from traditional operating systems toward “intelligence systems,” where AI becomes deeply integrated into everyday tasks and workflows.

I have been writing about tech on Techlomedia for almost 15 years. I cover launches from almost every smartphone brand. But honestly, AI+ never convinced me enough to even write about most of its phones.

The only AI+ product I wrote about was the foldable because the pricing actually looked interesting. Apart from that, none of the phones really stood out. In a market already full of good options, the products just did not feel exciting enough to cover.

And now it feels like my instincts were right.

A few years back, brands used to send devices to reviewers because they genuinely wanted feedback. They wanted reviewers to point out problems so products could improve.

Now, many brands just want positive coverage, hype, and marketing.

Some creators and influencers are partly responsible for this mess. Over the years, the whole "pay and get positive coverage" culture has become so common that viewers no longer trust reviews easily. Many people already assume every positive video is sponsored.

Because of this, some brands have stopped accepting criticism completely. But suing creators over negative opinions is a very bad trend.

If someone is spreading false information, brands should openly respond, share their side, and have a proper discussion. Going legal against YouTubers feels extreme.

If this becomes normal, smaller creators will stop speaking honestly because nobody wants legal trouble over a smartphone opinion.

Feels like this whole situation is much bigger than just AI+. It says a lot about where tech reviews and influencer culture are heading in India.
