Google on Tuesday unveiled Googlebooks, its new line of laptops built around Gemini, Google s flagship family of AI models. 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, set to launch this fall, are the first laptops designed from the ground up around Gemini to offer personal and proactive help.

Googlebooks will ship with Magic Pointer, a new AI-powered cursor with Gemini built-in. Rather than just pointing and clicking, wiggling the cursor will surface quick, contextual suggestions based on what s on your screen. For example, if you point at a date in an email, you can quickly set up a meeting. Or, if you select two images, like your living room and a new couch, you can visualize them together.
