Google just delivered its first Gemini-centric platform in Googlebook, and it may feature the first AI OS

It's been almost a year since Sameer Samat, Google's Head of Android Experience, let slip that the tech giant was finally ready to do what had long been rumored: combine Android and ChromeOS into a single experience.

The reveal, coming as part of Google's annual Android Show, is a two-pronged affair. First, there's a single platform that somehow combines the best of Android and ChromeOS into one, and second is the unveiling of a new class of laptops: Googlebooks, which Google says are "designed for Gemini Intelligence."

That's right, Google is once again trying to reinvent the laptop. Forget Pixelbooks (though Chromebooks and ChromeOS are supposedly not going anywhere), this is brand new hardware to house a platform built for a new type of desk and laptop computing experience.
