20 Aug
Summary
- Google is launching new premium AI-powered laptops called Googlebooks.
- These devices will introduce a new high-end tier above current Chromebooks.
- Googlebook reviews and shipments are expected to begin in October 2026.
Google is poised to introduce a new line of premium, AI-integrated laptops named Googlebooks, set to launch on September 15, 2026. These devices are intended to establish a new high-end category, positioned above the current Chromebook offerings in terms of both price and performance.
Initial reports suggest a tiered product strategy for Googlebooks. The highest tier, "AL Premium," may feature up to 64GB of memory, running on an "Aluminium" operating system that merges Chrome OS and Android elements. Below this, "AL Mass Premium" is expected, potentially utilizing processors like Snapdragon X Plus or Intel Core Ultra 5.
The most basic tier will be "AL Entry," followed by Chromebook Plus and then standard Chromebooks. This structured approach aims to expand the market over time, as indicated by Google vice president John Maletis in May. Reviews and initial shipments for the Googlebooks are anticipated to commence in October 2026.
