Google launches Googlebook laptop with on-device Gemini AI

Google introduced the Googlebook, a new laptop that integrates its Gemini generative‑AI model directly on the device. The on‑device Gemini powers a suite of AI features, including Magic Pointer, which lets users point at text or images on the screen and ask Gemini to schedule tasks, analyze content, or combine visuals; Rambler, a voice‑dictation assistant that cleans up spoken notes, organizes action items, and supports multilingual input; and Create My Widget, a no‑code tool for building custom widgets by describing the desired functionality. The blog post also mentions an Antigravity development environment that allows developers to write and deploy apps on the laptop. The base model is priced at $899 and includes a 12‑month subscription to Google AI Pro, providing advanced Gemini tools and 5 TB of cloud storage, as well as three months of YouTube Premium, Adobe Photoshop, and other services. Pre‑orders are open on the Google Store, Best Buy, and select retailers. The first shipments are scheduled for October 4, 2026 in the United States and October 5, 2026 in Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany, and Australia. Google states that the device will receive regular feature updates for up to ten years. All details are drawn from Google’s official blog announcement dated September 21, 2026.
