Announced at The Android Show I\/O Edition this month, the basic pitch is simple enough: Android-powered laptops built around Gemini Intelligence and tighter phone-to-laptop integration. Sounds common-sense enough, right?<\/p>\n<p>There are a few confirmed features to help fill in the outline. Magic Pointer is a Gemini-powered cursor that provides context when you wiggle it, while Cast My Apps should let Android 17 users access phone apps on a Googlebook without having to download them again. These features and others sound genuinely useful if they work cleanly, but we\u2019re still missing the boring-but-important stuff. Google hasn\u2019t given us ballpark specs, firm launch dates, or, most importantly, price ranges.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re still missing the boring-but-important stuff. <\/p>\n<p>The first Googlebooks are expected this fall from Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo. Samsung is the obvious missing name, and Google\u2019s hardware hints so far are still fairly broad. The company has mentioned premium materials, different form factors, and a signature Glowbar on the lid. Google has since said that cheaper models are also planned, but the first wave is still being framed as \u201csuper premium,\u201d which doesn\u2019t exactly give the impression of affordability.<\/p>\n<p>So, with Googlebooks looking intriguing but still a bit half-blurry, we polled our readers on whether you\u2019re excited about Google\u2019s new laptop category. Here\u2019s how over 7,000 of you voted.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;top:0px;left:0px;border-image:initial;padding:0px;margin:0px;border:medium none currentcolor\" title=\"Are you excited about the new Googlebooks?\" src=\"https:\/\/e.infogram.com\/fd757fd2-bf91-47f1-a21e-99487ce39156?src=embed&#038;embed_type=responsive_iframe\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>As the charts showed, there wasn\u2019t one clear consensus in the poll results. Just over 31% of you are already sold on the concept and excited for Googlebooks, but slightly more people need to see more first at 33%. 20% of respondents were skeptical, while around 15% of you have already decided against the concept.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019ll always be a section of Google stans, but the obvious read from the results is that&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/excited-about-googlebooks-poll-results-3672282\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Survey shows you\u2019re not buying the Googlebooks hype just yet https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/excited-about-googlebooks-poll-results-3672282\/ Publish Date: 2026-05-28 13:44:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":258090,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/googlebook-name-on-laptop-official-logo.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[187,70,108,86],"class_list":["post-258089","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-asus","tag-google","tag-lenovo","tag-samsung"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258089"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=258089"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258089\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":258091,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258089\/revisions\/258091"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258090"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=258089"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=258089"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=258089"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
