Brace Your Wallet for Impact"},"content":{"rendered":"

Lenovo\u2019s upcoming Googlebook 15 just got its latest and most comprehensive leak, and woof \u2014 this is not the affordable Chromebook you\u2019re used to if the specs are accurate. The leak comes from MacObserver<\/a>, which has the full purported specs sheet, showing that the Lenovo Googlebook 15 is very much going to be a premium laptop<\/a>, though the leak doesn\u2019t reveal a price or exact launch date.<\/p>\n

A Google representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

Under the hood, we\u2019re apparently looking at an Intel Core Ultra 5 325 processor, 16GB or 32GB of LPDDR5x RAM, 256\/512GB storage and a 70-watt-hour battery that can last for up to 11 hours. MacObserver notes that the leaked machine is identified as GB 151PH12, and according to Lenovo\u2019s naming guide, IPH is the platform code for Panther Lake-H<\/a>, so you can expect an Intel integrated graphics chip.<\/p>\n

\"GooglebookGoogle announced the new device in May and said it would go on sale this fall.Google<\/p>\n

The laptop sports a 15.3-inch, 2,880-by-1,800-pixel OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 16:10 aspect ratio with super-thin bezels, according to the leaked photos that you can view on MacObserver<\/a>. Brightness is 500 nits, and it has 100% DCI-P3 color. According to the leaked specs, the entire device will weigh just 2.84 pounds and measure 13.43 by 9.29 by 0.63 inches. It\u2019s also touchscreen.<\/p>\n

Another interesting feature on the laptop\u2019s exterior is the Glowbar, a colored Google indicator on the lid that shows battery and charging status. It\u2019s not clear whether this will have additional functionality like the erstwhile Touchbar on older MacBook<\/a> models did, but we\u2019d guess that you\u2019re able to customize some of the indicator options.<\/p>\n

\"GooglebookGooglebooks replace the Windows icon with a G on the keyboard.Google<\/p>\n

You get a haptic trackpad (150 by 95 millimeters), fingerprint sensor and Google facial authentication, the company\u2019s challenge to Apple\u2019s Face ID and possibly related to the technology at play with Google Pixel\u2019s Project Toscana<\/a>. According to the leaked specs, for that purpose, there\u2019s a 5MP RGB webcam with dual microphones and a physical privacy shutter, which is a nice touch.<\/p>\n

Audio also seems like it\u2019ll be solid, with four Dolby Atmos speakers that are visible on either side of the keyboard in the leaked renders. Speaking of the keyboard, there appears to be a dedicated Google \u201cG\u201d key on the bottom row between the Function and Alt keys. That could be a command key, similar to what we get on MacBooks, perhaps something that activates AI tool Gemini<\/a>, which the company has said can provide more proactive help. It should sync well with Android phones, letting you access apps and files directly on the Googlebook, a feature available through Microsoft Phone Link on Windows<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s currently unclear from the specs leaks whether there will be deeper integration with Android, whether the new proactive help capabilities will be exclusive to Googlebook or whether they will come to other devices in the future. It will be restricted to certain countries and languages, as well as users who are 18 and older.<\/p>\n

The main features of a Googlebook.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The port loadout looks fairly solid with a Thunderbolt 4 port, USB 3.2 Type-A port and audio jack on the left side. The right features another Thunderbolt 4 port and HDMI 2.0. It comes with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. The keyboard is also backlit.<\/p>\n

The specs leak also revealed details about accessories expected to accompany the Googlebook. It looks like there may be a bundle that includes the laptop, along with a Lenovo E310 True Wireless Earbuds and a Lenovo 540 Convertible Tote backpack.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a Lenovo \u201cAI Mouse,\u201d which has the same colorful LED indicator on it as the Googlebook. Details aren\u2019t available about what makes the mouse AI, but it could be similar to what we\u2019ve seen on Logitech\u2019s productivity mice, like the MX Master series<\/a>, which offer seamless file sharing and cross-device functionality.<\/p>\n

Chromebooks captured the budget and midrange laptop<\/a> segment for non-Apple users, but the idea of a premium Chromebook never really took off due to Chrome OS<\/a> and its challenges in handling real productivity. The goal of Googlebook<\/a> is to give you access to the full range of Android apps on your phone, along with storage for files and improved functionality. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe basic idea is that using a Googlebook shouldn\u2019t be all too different from using a Chromebook or any other laptop; you\u2019ll just get more Gemini AI-powered tools built in, along with access to the full universe of Android apps,\u201d said Josh Goldman, managing editor for CNET\u2019s computing coverage. <\/p>\n

Goldman notes that the biggest advantage of the Googlebook over Chromebooks is that it can bring features originally developed for Android to the device more quickly, citing Circle to Search as an example. \u201cIt took roughly a year for the feature to make the jump from Android phones to Chromebook Plus laptops. But now, an AI feature like Create Your Widget \u2014 which lets you quickly generate custom widgets and was only recently announced for Android phones \u2014 will also be available on Googlebooks.\u201d <\/p>\n

The only details we\u2019re really missing at this point are the price and exact release date, though a fall launch is expected, so it may be any day now. For price, if we were to take an educated guess, this is not going to be a cheap laptop. With the specs under the hood here, 9to5 Google<\/a> points out that you\u2019re looking at a device that will likely be priced similarly to Lenovo\u2019s ThinkPad X9 15 Aura Edition<\/a>, which starts at $1,519 for the base model and upward of $2,396 for a more heavily specced-out unit.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no doubt that the Lenovo Googlebook 15 is meant for productivity and users of full-fledged MacBooks and Windows laptops<\/a>, so we\u2019d expect pricing to be in the same range, with the larger memory and storage configurations costing more.<\/p>\n
