    Google launches Googlebooks with five models and new OS

    Google introduced Googlebooks, a new line of premium laptops running GooglebookOS—a hybrid of ChromeOS and Android. Five models are launching with starting prices from $899 to $1,299, featuring Material 3 design, seamless Android integration, AI capabilities, and limited iOS support. Pre-orders began September 21, with retail launch October 4-5.

    “It's not every day we see a brand-new kind of laptop launch, let alone one with a new OS from a brand that's never thought of as a rival to MacBooks or premium Windows machines.”
