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.
Googlebook is designed around what Google calls Gemini Intelligence. The company says the platform focuses on proactive AI assistance, tighter Android ecosystem integration, and premium hardware experiences.
Google has only shared an early preview for now and says more details will be announced later this year. The first Googlebook devices are expected to launch this fall.
One of the biggest features announced is Magic Pointer. Google says the feature transforms the traditional laptop cursor into an AI-powered assistant. By moving or “wiggling” the cursor, Gemini can provide contextual suggestions directly on the screen.
For example, users can point at a date inside an email to instantly create a calendar event. Gemini can also combine images together for quick visual previews, such as showing how a couch may look inside a living room.
The company says the goal is to make AI interactions feel faster and more natural during regular laptop use.
Google is also bringing its “Create Your Widget” feature to Googlebook devices.
The feature allows users to create custom desktop widgets using natural language prompts. Gemini can connect with Gmail, Calendar, and other Google apps to automatically generate personalized dashboards with useful information in one place.
Googlebook devices will also feature tighter Android integration.
According to Google, users will be able to access Android apps more seamlessly while working on laptops. The company also introduced a Quick Access feature that allows users to browse and use files stored on their Android phones directly from the laptop without manual transfers.
Google says it is working with hardware partners, including Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo, for the first Googlebook devices.
The company says the laptops will feature premium materials, modern designs, and a new visual element called the “glowbar” to identify Googlebook products.
