Lenovo Googlebook 15 specs detailed in new leak
A recent leak reveals the Lenovo Googlebook 15 will feature an OLED display, up to 32GB of RAM, and a facial authentication system, positioning it as a premium Chromebook.
A leak of the upcoming Lenovo Googlebook 15 provides a full specification sheet, indicating the device will target the high-end market. The laptop is expected to be powered by an Intel Core Ultra 5 325 processor, offer 16GB or 32GB of LPDDR5x RAM, and include 256GB or 512GB of storage. Its 15.3-inch OLED touchscreen will have a 2880 × 1800 resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate and a 16:10 aspect ratio. Other hardware features listed are a 70 Wh battery rated for up to 11 hours, a haptic trackpad, two USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 ports, a USB-A port, HDMI 2.0, an audio jack, a fingerprint sensor and a "Google facial authentication" system.
The configuration suggests a price comparable to Lenovo's ThinkPad X9 15 Aura Edition, which currently sells for just over $1,500. Analysts note that while the hardware is robust, the value proposition will depend on how Google’s software integrates with the device, particularly the facial authentication technology, which may be a camera-based unlock similar to that planned for future Chromebooks and Pixel phones.
Industry observers expect further announcements from Lenovo and other manufacturers as the Googlebook lineup expands.
