We’ve waited a while, but the first Googlebooks are finally on the market. These laptops run on a so-called Googlebook OS platform, touted as a hybrid of Android and Chrome OS. The big draws of Googlebooks are features like deep Gemini integration, Android app support, and the ability to stream apps from your phone.

Can you actually play games and emulators on Googlebooks, though? That was one of the first thoughts I had when I realized I’d be getting a review unit. So, I thought it would be a good idea to find out.
