Google has just announced Googlebook, which brings together Chrome, powerful apps on Google Play, and a modern OS designed for intelligence. Yes, this is an evolution of Chromebook, introduced over 15 years ago.
Googlebook – The New Chromebook
Designed for Gemini Intelligence
Googlebooks are the first laptops designed from the ground up for Gemini Intelligence to deliver personal and proactive help when and where you need it.
Google introduces the Magic Pointer, a feature built with the Google DeepMind team, that brings Gemini’s helpfulness right to your fingertips. You can wiggle your cursors and watch it come alive with Gemini, offering quick, contextual suggestions. Some examples of this include pointing at a date in an email to set up a meeting or selecting two images and then asking it to help you visualize them.
Another feature coming to these new laptops is Create your Widget, which lets you create custom widgets just via a prompt.
Optimized for the Android Ecosystem
Googlebook also makes it easy to switch between the laptop and Android phones. Additionally, the laptop can run powerful apps on its own, and it can also directly use apps from your phone on your laptop.
For instance, you can tap a phone app when you’re in the zone and suddenly get hungry. This is all without downloading anything or using emulated touchscreen controls.
Quick Access will also allow you to easily view, search, or insert your phone’s files on your laptop.
Crafted with Premium Hardware and Design
Every Googlebook will be built with premium craftsmanship and materials, coming in a variety of shapes and sizes. These will be easily distinguishable by a unique glowbar.
Google has confirmed that it is working with partners like Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo to make the first of these new laptops. These will be coming this fall.
