“Over 15 years ago, we launched the Chromebook, a laptop designed for a cloud-focused world. Now, as computing transitions from an operating system to an intelligence system, we see a chance to innovate laptops once more,” said Google Senior Director Alex Kuscher in a blog post.

Googlebooks will feature ‘Magic Pointer,’ an innovative AI-powered cursor integrated with Gemini. Rather than just pointing and clicking, maneuvering the cursor will reveal quick, context-sensitive suggestions based on the content displayed on your screen.

For example, if you hover over a date in an email, you can swiftly schedule a meeting. “Or select two images — like your living room and a new couch — to instantly see them together. It allows you to transition from idea to execution in just a few clicks,” Kushner elaborated.
The Googlebooks will also include a ‘Create your Widget’ tool that lets users design custom widgets using Gemini prompts. These new laptops will seamlessly integrate with Android phones, allowing users to cast apps from their phones to the Googlebook without any downloads. Additionally, a ‘Quick Access’ feature will enable users to view and search files from their phone directly on a Googlebook.
The updated UI is built on the Android tech stack, enabling Google to introduce innovations more rapidly across devices. It supports a smoother experience across various devices, creating a stronger synergy between Android-powered gadgets, helping users maintain their workflow and stay continuously connected.
