Googlebooks are official, bringing Gemini Intelligence, Android apps, and a new vision for laptops

• Google has officially unveiled Googlebooks, a new category of premium Android-powered laptops from partners like Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo.
• The new laptops feature deep Gemini Integration, tools like Magic Pointer and Create My Widget, and seamless phone app streaming through Cast My Apps.
• The first Googlebook laptops will be available this fall.

The first Chromebooks were announced on May 11, 2011, and today marks exactly 15 years and one day since that milestone. It’s no wonder Google chose this date to finally announce that its plans to merge ChromeOS and Android into a unified operating system are finally coming to fruition.

At The Android Show I/O Edition, Google unveiled a whole new category of laptops called Googlebooks. Yes, that’s one word, “Googlebooks,” just like “Chromebooks,” and the erstwhile “Pixelbook.”
