New 'Googlebook' Laptop Category Puts AI Front and Center

Move over Chromebook. Google is preparing a new category of laptops that goes all in on AI. Meet the Googlebook.

The company previewed the new laptops in today’s Android Show: I/O Edition. “Googlebooks are the first laptops designed from the ground up for Gemini Intelligence,” the AI models behind the Gemini chatbot. The tech giant plans to launch the first Googlebooks this fall through PC makers including Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo.
