\"Googlebook\"<\/p>\n

Google has started sending media invites for an event dedicated to its new Googlebook product line on September 15, 2026 (via Chrome Unboxed<\/a>). The media preview will happen in New York, and Google is expected to share more details about the first Googlebook lineup from Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo behind closed doors.<\/p>\n

If you need a refresher, the \u201cGooglebook\u201d brand designates a new category of premium laptops<\/a> that will be able to run Android apps and seamlessly connect to apps and files from an Android phone. Google said that Googlebooks bring together \u201cthe best of ChromeOS and Android,\u201d but they won\u2019t be replacing Chromebooks.<\/p>\n

Googlebooks will integrate Gemini Intelligence, Google\u2019s new agentic AI system that\u2019s also coming to the latest Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phones. On Googlebooks, Gemini Intelligence will be integrated directly into the OS\u2019 pointer, allowing users to select anything to ask, compare, or create with Gemini. With Create my Widget, Googlebook users will also be able to create a custom widget by just describing it to the chatbot.<\/p>\n

Except in the US education market, Chromebooks never really managed to compete seriously with Windows laptops. It doesn\u2019t help that most Chromebooks are made from cheap materials, and Google introducing a new Chromebook Plus category<\/a> three years ago with a standardized set of premium features didn\u2019t really move the needle.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s too early to tell if Googlebooks will have a better chance of challenging Windows\u2019 dominance on the laptop market, but the combination of premium specs, intelligent features, and seamless connectivity with Android phones is certainly promising. It\u2019s also encouraging that Google managed to get the leading laptop manufacturers on board, even though Samsung, one of the biggest manufacturers of Android phones, is notably absent from the list of launch partners.<\/p>\n

Update 9:20 AM PT: Google reached out to us to clarify that the September 15 event is media-only, and nothing will be publicly announced on that date. I updated the post to reflect that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Google has started sending media invites for an event dedicated to its new Googlebook product line on September…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":145531,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[2408,132,1430,22898],"class_list":["post-145530","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-google","tag-gemini","tag-google","tag-google-gemini","tag-googlebook"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145530","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145530"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145530\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145531"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145530"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145530"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145530"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
