Dell Technologies is bringing Gemini Intelligence into its premium XPS lineup with the XPS Googlebook, a 13-inch laptop designed around AI-assisted and cross-device computing. Powered by Snapdragon X Elite, the device features a 2.5K InfinityEdge touch display, up to 32GB of memory, and up to 16 hours of Netflix streaming. Gemini can be activated through the Magic Pointer and can work across apps to provide proactive suggestions and manage complex tasks, including while the laptop is closed.
The XPS Googlebook also connects closely with Android phones, allowing users to access files, photos, messages, notifications, and app context across devices. For Dell, the $999 laptop expands XPS into Google’s emerging premium computing ecosystem while targeting Android users seeking deeper device integration. The partnership also gives Google and Qualcomm a high-end hardware platform for demonstrating Gemini and Snapdragon capabilities.
