Acer’s $900 Googlebook tripped over Google’s own apps in a reviewer’s test

Reviewer Jared Newman spent a month with Acer’s Googlebook 14, priced at $900 in his review. He found Gmail’s hover controls didn’t work, Drive opened documents in tabs instead of the windows used by Docs or Sheets, and a Docs comment button blocked the right touchscreen selection handle. He largely liked the hardware, but the Chrome-powered work apps made basic inbox and document chores harder than they needed to be.
