What you should know about Googlebook laptops ahead of launch
The Googlebook is the company's follow-up to the Chromebook, built with the Gemini assistant at its core and made by five of the world's biggest PC brands.
Google has announced the Googlebook, a new category of laptops that combines Android and ChromeOS into one platform. The first devices are set to launch this fall, ahead of the Made by Google event on August 12, 2026. Googlebook laptops will run a new operating system built on Android, with Gemini at its core. The devices come with features like Magic Pointer, Create My Widget, Cast My Apps, and Quick Access.
A Glowbar light on the lid provides both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Chromebooks will continue to receive 10 years of automatic updates, and existing Chromebook owners will retain their support commitments. Five brands - Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo - are partnering on the Googlebook. Google has not set pricing for the laptops.
