Google will begin taking pre-orders for its first AI-powered laptop, the "Googlebook," on September 21, according to its official website, which states "Pre-order September 21." Announced as a new product category at the May developer conference, the device fuses ChromeOS and Android technologies and is positioned as a flagship distinguishing itself from existing Chromebooks, offering premium materials, high performance, intelligence features, and Android smartphone integration. The initial lineup will come from five manufacturers: Acer, ASUSTeK Computer, Dell Technologies, HP, and Lenovo. Its core AI suite, "Gemini Intelligence," includes "Magic Pointer," which lets users ask Gemini to answer questions, compare, or generate content about whatever the cursor is hovering over, and "Create My Widget," which creates custom widgets on command.
