The Google logo is prominently displayed in its characteristic colors: blue, red, yellow, and green. Below the logo, there is a search bar with a microphone icon on the right, indicating voice search functionality. The text "Google Search" and "I'm Feeling Lucky" are visible beneath the search bar. The bottom of the screen shows a navigation bar with links to "About," "Advertising," "Business," and "How Search works." The laptop is placed on a wooden surface, and the background suggests an indoor setting with tables and chairs, possibly a café or a library. The time displayed in the bottom right corner is 5:17 PM.
