Google unveiled Googlebooks, its new line of laptops built with Gemini at their core. The tech giant is working with partners like Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo to make the first Googlebooks in a variety of shapes and sizes.
The company says Googlebooks, which are launching this fall, are the first laptops designed from the ground up for Gemini Intelligence to offer personal and proactive help.
The laptops will ship with “Magic Pointer,” a new kind of cursor with Gemini built in, compatibility with Android phones that will allow people to use apps from their phone right from their Googlebook, the ability to create custom widgets, and more.
