Google has taken a big step in the world of laptops. After Chromebook, the company has now introduced a new premium laptop platform named GoogleBook. This is not just a normal laptop, but a smart device that works completely with Android phones. Let us know what GoogleBook is and what are its features.
GoogleBook is Google’s new laptop platform, which was launched last week. Companies like Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP and Lenovo are making it. Price starts from $899. It is many times better and premium than the old Chromebook.
Its biggest feature is Googlebook OS. It is based on Android, but it also includes desktop features of ChromeOS. With this, phones and laptops work alike. As soon as you sign in from your Android phone, settings, passwords, Wi-Fi and messages come automatically. Phone apps and files open easily on the laptop. No separate transfer is required.
Gemini AI has been given a special place in this. A feature called Magic Pointer makes the mouse cursor smart. You can ask Gemini questions or get help directly from the cursor. AI keeps giving suggestions after understanding your work. Many tasks can be done on-device i.e. even without internet.
The hardware is also top class. Light-strong materials like aluminium, magnesium and carbon fiber are used. Up to 2.8K OLED touch screen, haptic touchpad and backlit keyboard is available. Battery lasts up to 14 hours. At least 16GB RAM is provided with powerful processor of Intel or Qualcomm. There is also a separate NPU for AI.
Software updates will be available for 10 years
Software support is very long. Regular updates have been promised for 10 years. Upon purchase, you get 12 months of Google AI Pro, 5TB cloud storage and some other services for free.
GoogleBook is specially designed for Android users. This is a great option for those who want to use their phone and laptop together easily. With premium look, fast speed and smart AI features, it presents a strong challenge against Windows and Mac.
If you are thinking of buying a new laptop and use an Android phone, then you can take a look at Google Books. However, the details of its launch in India have not been revealed yet.
