Google has opened pre-orders for its new AI-powered laptop, the Googlebook, priced at $899. The device runs on Android OS with Chrome browser elements and integrates Google's Gemini AI, offering unique features like an AI-powered cursor, AI-enhanced dictation called Rambler, and vibe-coded widgets. Aimed at upgrading traditional Chromebooks, the Googlebook targets the large K-12 market currently using Chromebooks, potentially shifting millions to Gemini AI. It includes 12 months of Google AI Pro, 5TB cloud storage, and software perks, with availability starting October 4 in the U.S. and shortly after in several other countries.
Google's stock price stands at USD 350.84, up 1.87% as of September 21, 2026, 21:52 WIB on Pluang, reflecting investor interest around its new AI-powered Googlebook launch. The company holds a massive market cap of $4.25 trillion and a 52-week high of $399.06, indicating strong market confidence. This launch could influence Google's media sector valuation further as the device targets a large K-12 Chromebook user base.
