Google has introduced a new category of laptop called Googlebook, designed to work hand-in-hand with Android phones. The devices are now available for pre-order, with prices starting at $899.
Built on Android’s technology foundation and combined with elements from ChromeOS, Googlebook is aimed at people who often start a task on their phone and finish it on a bigger screen.
The first models come from familiar laptop makers, including Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo, so buyers get a choice of designs rather than a single Google-made device.
On the hardware side, Googlebook laptops feature premium builds using aluminum, magnesium alloy, and carbon fiber, along with OLED touchscreens, glass trackpads with haptic feedback, and up to 14 hours of battery life. They also bring back the “Glowbar,” a light strip that shows battery status and reacts when you talk to Google’s Gemini assistant.
Gemini Built Deeply into the Experience too.
Once set up, users can continue tasks they started on their phone, pull up phone files directly on the laptop, and even stream and control phone apps from a desktop window through a feature called Cast My Apps.
Features like “Magic Pointer” let users summon AI help on whatever is on their screen, while “Rambler” turns spoken notes into organized text.
The laptops also support Android and Play Store apps, alongside the full Chrome browser, giving users access to creative tools, streaming apps, and games.
For developers, Googlebook includes a full Linux terminal environment and supports tools like Claude Code, positioning it as a machine for both everyday users and technical builders.
Googlebook ships from October 4 in the U.S., with other regions following October 5.
