Googlebook: What to Know About Google's New Laptops
There's a new name in the laptop world: Googlebook.
If it sounds familiar, you might be thinking of Chromebooks. But Google has something different in mind this time, with a new line of laptops that combine powerful hardware, Gemini, and deeper Android integration. With a focus on connecting your laptop with your Android phone, Google aims to make it easier to move between devices and get things done.
The first Googlebooks arrived in October 2026, giving buyers another option alongside Windows laptops, MacBooks, and Chromebooks.
So, what exactly is Googlebook, and what should you know before considering one?

What Is Googlebook?
Googlebook is Google's new category of premium laptops, running on Googlebook OS, a new operating system that combines Android technology with desktop foundations from ChromeOS.
Google describes Googlebooks as the first laptops designed for what it calls Gemini Intelligence, with hardware and software built to support AI-powered productivity, creativity, and everyday tasks.
Google developed the first models in partnership with major computer manufacturers, including Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo.
Your Android Phone and Googlebook Work Together
One of Googlebook's biggest selling points is how it connects with your Android phone. The idea is similar to how an iPhone and MacBook work together, letting users switch easily between devices and access familiar features across both.
With a compatible Android phone connected to your Googlebook, you can access files, share photos and documents, and use supported features from your laptop. If you already have an Android phone, this integration may be one of Googlebook's most appealing features.
Googlebook Is Built Around Gemini Intelligence
Gemini Intelligence is at the heart of the Googlebook experience, bringing AI features directly into the operating system. Rather than being just a tool you open when you need help, Gemini is designed to assist you while you work, helping with everyday tasks and productivity.
One standout feature is Magic Pointer, which lets you use your cursor to select content on your screen and ask Gemini questions, compare information, or create something new. Googlebook introduces Rambler, a voice dictation feature that turns spoken thoughts into cleaner, more organized text by removing filler words and adding formatting.
Googlebook also lets you create custom widgets with Create My Widget simply by describing what you want. These widgets can help you organize useful information and tools in one place.
Googlebook Supports Android Apps
Googlebook also brings many of the Android apps you already use on your phone directly to your laptop.
You can download Android apps from the Google Play Store, and Google says many popular apps have been optimized for larger screens, keyboards, and mouse input. You can also interact with supported apps running on your phone directly from your laptop without installing them. Googlebook supports desktop-class Chrome, including browser extensions.
This gives you more flexibility to use familiar apps on a larger screen, alongside desktop websites and browser extensions.
Googlebook Models: What Are Your Options?
Google has introduced five Googlebook models, developed in partnership with Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo.
All five models feature touchscreens and backlit keyboards, along with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage in their standard configurations. They differ in screen size, processor, weight, battery life, and design, giving buyers several options to choose from.
The initial lineup includes:
- Acer Googlebook 14: A convertible 2-1 model that can switch between laptop and tablet modes.
- ASUS Googlebook 14: A lightweight option designed with portability in mind.
- Dell XPS Googlebook: A slim model featuring a 13.4-inch touchscreen and a Snapdragon X Elite processor.
- HP Googlebook 14: A premium 14-inch model with an OLED touchscreen.
- Lenovo Googlebook 15: A larger model featuring a 15.3-inch OLED screen and facial unlock.
Google has also brought back the Glowbar, a distinctive light feature on the exterior of Googlebooks. It can indicate status information, such as startup and battery level, and interact with certain features.
You can check all Googlebook models on Google's official website.
How Much Does a Googlebook Cost?
Googlebook prices start at $899, and costs vary by model and configuration. The entry-level Acer Googlebook 14 is the most affordable option in the initial lineup, while the ASUS and HP models start at $1,299.
Every Googlebook purchase also includes 12 months of Google AI Pro, which provides 5TB of cloud storage and expanded access to Gemini features. You can also receive three months of services such as YouTube Premium and Adobe Photoshop, along with other app offers.
Buying a Googlebook? Don't Forget to Protect it!
A new laptop is a significant investment, especially when you're spending hundreds – or even more than a thousand – dollars on a premium device.
A Googlebook, like any laptop, can be vulnerable to accidental damage. A drop, cracked screen, liquid spill, or other unexpected mishap can render your device unusable.
Laptop Insurance from Worth Ave. Group can help protect your Googlebook against accidental damage, theft, and other covered incidents, reducing out-of-pocket repair or replacement costs.
