Google Introduces Googlebook: AI-Native Laptops Powered by Gemini Intelligence

Google unveiled Googlebook at the Android Show on May 12, a new category of AI-native laptops built around Gemini Intelligence. Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo are manufacturing partners, with first devices expected to ship this fall.

Key Features

Magic Pointer: Developed with Google DeepMind, this AI-powered cursor activates Gemini when you wiggle your cursor — it understands on-screen content and offers contextual suggestions in real time.

Create Your Widget: Users can build custom widgets by prompting Gemini in natural language. Widgets can pull live data from the web and connect with Gmail and Calendar for a personalized dashboard.

Android Integration: Googlebook syncs seamlessly with Android phones, giving instant access to phone apps and files. Premium hardware features a distinctive glowbar design.

Beyond Chromebook

Googlebook represents Google's next evolution after Chromebook — an Android-based platform with Gemini embedded at the OS level rather than as a layered add-on. Devices from multiple OEM partners launch in fall 2026. Full details are on the Google blog.
