Google has announced Googlebook, a new category of laptops built around Gemini AI and designed to combine features from Android and ChromeOS.
The company said the platform brings together Android’s app ecosystem and ChromeOS features to create laptops focused on AI-powered assistance, connected device experiences, and premium hardware.
Google shared an early preview of Google Books and said it plans to reveal more details later this year.
Google said Googlebook is the first laptop category designed from the ground up for Gemini Intelligence. One of the key features is Magic Pointer, which was developed with the Google DeepMind team. The feature activates Gemini-powered suggestions directly through the laptop cursor.
Users can point at dates in emails to create meetings or select images to generate combined visual previews, such as placing furniture inside a room design. Google said the feature is designed to reduce the number of steps needed to complete tasks.
Google is also bringing a feature called Create Your Widget to Googlebook devices. The feature allows users to create custom desktop widgets using prompts. Gemini can search the internet or connect with Google services such as Gmail and Calendar to build personalized dashboards.
Google gave the example of organizing flights, hotel bookings, restaurant reservations, and countdowns for a family reunion in Berlin within a single desktop widget.
Googlebook is partially built on the Android technology stack, which Google said will allow faster rollout of new features across devices. The company also highlighted cross-device functionality between Googlebook laptops and smartphones.
Users will be able to open phone apps while working on the laptop without fully switching devices. Google said users can complete tasks such as ordering food or responding to app reminders directly from their laptop workflow.
Googlebook also includes a Quick Access feature that lets users view, search for, and insert files stored on their phone directly from the laptop’s file browser, without transferring files manually.
Google said it is working with hardware partners, including Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo, to build the first Googlebook laptops.
According to Google, all Googlebook devices will use premium materials and come in multiple designs and sizes.
The laptops will also include a unique “glowbar” design element intended to identify Googlebook devices.
It is unclear when these devices will arrive on the market.
