Google has launched its new Googlebook laptop, a premium computer designed to work closely with Android smartphones while bringing Google's Gemini AI capabilities directly into the laptop experience.
The company says Googlebook is designed around the way users work across their phones and computers, with features that allow Android devices and the laptop to work together more seamlessly.
ANDROID INTEGRATION
Googlebook is designed to sync with an Android phone, allowing users to access phone-related information and move between devices more easily.
Google says the laptop can synchronize settings, messages and files, creating a more connected experience for Android users.
GEMINI AI BUILT INTO THE LAPTOP
Googlebook includes built-in Gemini intelligence that can help users organize tasks, write notes and create custom widgets.
The AI capabilities are integrated into the operating system rather than being limited to a separate chatbot application.
SECURITY AND LINUX DEVELOPMENT
Googlebook uses a security architecture based on ChromeOS, including Google's Titan hardware root of trust and on-device malware detection.
The laptop also includes a Level 5 security-certified pKVM hypervisor.
This technology provides an isolated Linux environment where developers can use terminal tools, work with code repositories and run autonomous agents while keeping the development environment separated from the main system.
LONG-TERM SOFTWARE SUPPORT
Google says Googlebook OS will receive regular feature updates for up to 10 years.
The company is positioning this long-term support as part of the laptop's security and longevity strategy.
PRICING AND AVAILABILITY
Googlebook starts at $899.
Each Googlebook includes 12 months of Google AI Pro with 5TB of cloud storage and higher Gemini usage limits, along with additional bundled services.
Google says the laptop is available from October 4 in the United States, followed by additional markets including Canada, the UK, Ireland, France, Germany and Australia from October 5.
Googlebook represents Google's broader push to combine laptops, Android devices and AI into a more integrated computing experience.
