Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) has spent the past two years making one bold move after another in the AI race. From the Gemini model family to its 8th-generation TPU architecture, to Google Cloud's explosive 63% revenue growth to a $460 billion cloud backlog, the company has systematically built the world's most vertically integrated AI platform.
On May 12, it added another layer to that stack. Alphabet unveiled the Googlebook, a new line of AI-native laptops that marks its most direct move into consumer PC hardware in company history.
