Google Debuts Android ‘Googlebook’ Laptop Platform, Reentering Hot Market

Alphabet Inc.’s Google introduced a new high-end laptop segment called "Googlebook" that will run Android and prominently showcase Gemini artificial intelligence. Hardware partners Dell Technologies Inc., Lenovo Group Ltd. and HP Inc. will debut models built on the platform in the coming months.

The effort, announced on Tuesday in addition to a series of upcoming Android 17 updates, marks a fresh push by Google into the laptop segment and lets the company integrate key Gemini features into the core operating system, potentially offering more consumer-facing AI features than Windows and Mac notebooks.
