Googlebook laptops, and Dave2D's 'The Laptop for 71% of People'

Dave Lee's take on Google's new laptops neared 900,000 views in about two days and pulled his whole channel along with it.

Why this story? The whole channel is running at 819,656 views a day, 10 times a normal day (79,922).

"The Laptop for 71% of People" is a title that asks a question without answering it, and plenty of people clicked to find out what Dave Lee meant. His video on the new Googlebook laptops went up on Monday and was close to 900,000 views about two days later. Across the channel, a day's views ran roughly ten times past the usual pace.

The description is one of his shortest: simply "Thoughts on the new Googlebook Laptops." The tags show where those thoughts go. They name Asus, Dell's XPS line and the MacBook Air, and they also mention the best laptop for students. Dave2D has long been a place people go when they are trying to choose a laptop, so a new laptop category is right in his territory. The title's 71 percent remains his own figure.

It also ends a quiet stretch. When this channel last made news, as we reported here, there had been no uploads for a week and a Steam Controller easter egg was carrying the channel. Before that pause came a busy September for Apple and Valve fans: iPhone Duo first impressions, an iPhone 18 Pro Max review titled "Apple's Hyping The Wrong Thing," a review of the Steam Frame and a look at the new Mac Mini. Each of them passed a million views, and the iPhone Duo video went past two million. The Googlebook video is now catching up with them faster than any of them did.
