“Over 15 years ago, we introduced the Chromebook, a laptop built for a cloud-first world. Now, as computing shifts from an operating system to an intelligence system, we see an opportunity to rethink laptops again,” Google Senior Director Alex Kuscher said in a blog post.

Googlebooks will come with ‘Magic Pointer,’ a new cursor powered by AI with Gemini integrated. Instead of simply pointing and clicking, moving the cursor will bring up fast and context-aware recommendations depending on what’s displayed on your screen.

For instance, if you hover over a date in an email, you will be able to quickly schedule a meeting. “Or select two images — like your living room and a new couch — to instantly visualize them together. It lets you go from idea to I’m done in just a few clicks,” Kushner added.
Googlebooks will feature a ‘Create your Widget’ tool that enables users to build custom widgets using Gemini prompts. The new laptops will also work seamlessly with Android phones. You can cast apps from your phone to the Googlebook without having to download anything. In addition, a ‘Quick Access’ feature will allow you to view and search files from your phone directly on a Googlebook.
The new UI is developed on the Android tech stack, which will allow Google to roll out innovations faster across devices. It also supports a smoother experience across multiple devices. The new interface demonstrates stronger synergy between Android-powered devices, helping users maintain their flow and stay continuously connected.

Talking about the hardware, Googlebooks will feature a distinctive ‘glowbar’ lightstrip on its lid. Kuscher noted that “Every Googlebook will be built with premium craftsmanship and materials, coming in a variety of shapes and sizes.” The devices will have a ‘Featherweight Design’ with ‘Heavyweight Power’. Google has also confirmed that the new Googlebooks will launch this fall.
