Googlebook’s built-in intelligence reinvents the way you use your laptop

Googlebook, a new laptop designed with built-in artificial intelligence, is set to revolutionize the way users interact with their devices. Priced at $899, the device will begin shipping to select countries on October 4. Upon purchase, users receive a 12-month subscription to advanced AI tools and cloud storage, as well as access to YouTube Premium, Adobe Photoshop, and more.

At the heart of Googlebook is its AI system, which integrates Google's Gemini directly into the laptop. This system anticipates user needs and simplifies daily tasks, making it easier to complete work faster. Two key features that showcase this intelligence are Magic Pointer and Rambler.

Magic Pointer reimagines the traditional point-and-click experience. With a simple cursor wiggle, users can summon Gemini to assist with various tasks, regardless of whether they involve text, images, or context. This feature can be used to locate specific information on the screen, ask questions about displayed content, or even organize voice notes into structured lists.

Rambler, on the other hand, transforms messy voice notes into well-organized lists. While users dictate their thoughts, Rambler captures the stream of consciousness and refines it into coherent, error-free content. It can also translate between languages as needed, making it an invaluable tool for multilingual users.

For those who want to customize their experience further, Googlebook offers Create My Widget. This feature allows users to build their own widgets simply by describing their desired functionality, without needing any coding knowledge. Users can create widgets to track sports scores, visualize countdowns, or any other custom solution they can imagine.

Googlebook also comes equipped with Google Antigravity, a powerful tool that enables users to write and deploy their own apps right on the device. Developers can take advantage of a full Linux terminal environment, allowing them to run advanced coding tools like Claude Code and Antigravity CLI.

The device's AI capabilities extend beyond these features, with access to task automation, Gemini Live, and proactive suggestions that predict the user's next move based on on-screen content. Notably, Gemini features available on Chrome and Android are fully functional on Googlebook, ensuring a seamless experience for users familiar with these platforms.

In addition to these impressive capabilities, Googlebook includes a 12-month subscription to Google AI Pro, providing 5TB of cloud storage and access to Gemini Advanced tools. Users also receive 3 months of YouTube Premium, Adobe Photoshop, and other benefits. The Googlebook OS is designed with ongoing support, with regular feature updates and improvements planned for up to 10 years.

Pre-orders for Googlebook are now open, with devices set to begin shipping in the United States on October 4 and in Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany, and Australia on October 5.
