Google announced the Googlebook, a new category of AI laptops, at the Android Show: I/O Edition on Tuesday. Google Senior Director Alex Kuscher said in a blog post that over 15 years ago, Google introduced the Chromebook, and now, as computing shifts from an operating system to an intelligence system, the company sees an opportunity to rethink laptops again. When the first models are released in the fall, Googlebooks will run Android apps like Chromebooks but will place a heavier emphasis on features powered by Gemini, Google's AI assistant. Kuscher said Googlebooks are "the first laptops designed from the ground up for Gemini Intelligence." Google hasn't specified the operating system, just that it'll be "a modern OS that’s designed for Intelligence." Googlebooks will support a "Magic Pointer" cursor feature that uses Gemini to understand and act upon onscreen content, activated by wiggling the cursor. They will also have a "Create your Widget" tool for making custom widgets with Gemini prompts. The laptops will integrate with Android phones, allowing users to cast apps onto them without downloading anything, and a "Quick Access" feature lets users view and search files on their phone from a Googlebook. Google is just teasing Googlebooks for now, with no concrete spec details or launch dates, but they will have a characteristic "glowbar" lightstrip on their lids, and the first models will be made by Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo.
