Lenovo’s Googlebook 15 Gets a New Specs Leak. Brace Your Wallet for Impact

Lenovo’s upcoming Googlebook 15 just got its latest and most comprehensive leak, and woof — this is not the affordable Chromebook you’re used to if the specs are accurate. The leak comes from MacObserver , which has the full purported specs sheet, showing that the Lenovo Googlebook 15 is very much going to be a premium laptop , though the leak doesn’t reveal a price or exact launch date.

A Google representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Under the hood, we’re 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’s naming guide, IPH is the platform code for Panther Lake-H , so you can expect an Intel integrated graphics chip.

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 . 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’s also touchscreen.

Another interesting feature on the laptop’s exterior is the Glowbar, a colored Google indicator on the lid that shows battery and charging status. It’s not clear whether this will have additional functionality like the erstwhile Touchbar on older MacBook models did, but we’d guess that you’re able to customize some of the indicator options.

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

Audio also seems like it’ll 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 “G” 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 , 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 .

It’s 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.

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.
