Google unveiled the Googlebook to compete with Apple MacBooks and high-end Windows devices. Manufacturing partners include Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo.
Pre-orders for the new devices begin September 21. Entry-level pricing starts at $899.
The laptops run a new Android-based operating system with deep phone integration. Google integrated Gemini AI to provide contextual assistance via the Magic Pointer feature.
This move shifts Google’s strategy from budget Chromebooks to the lucrative premium market.
