Leaked press images shared by *Digital Citizen* and *Android Headlines* include a laptop and a 2-in-1 tablet, all of which feature Googlebook branding on the keyboard.\n\nThis is the best look we’ve had at Google’s Chromebook successor since the [Android-based Googlebook](/report/929374/google-googlebook-laptops-aluminium-os-questions-concerns-ai-gemini) platform [was announced in May](/tech/928479/google-googlebook-laptops-android-tease-aluminium-chromebook). Details about the initiative remain sparse, but we know that Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo are lined up to release the first models sometime in Fall 2026. Googlebooks are also expected to ditch ChromeOS in favor of a new operating system, and Gemini AI will reportedly be baked into pretty much everything.\n\nThe Lenovo leaks look fairly similar to Lenovo’s existing Chromebook lineup, with a few exceptions. The Lenovo Googlebook laptop appears to be available in two sizes, and features a light strip on the back that resembles the glowing bar that appears on the official Googlebook renders that Google released earlier this year. The 2-in-1 tablet also includes a light bar on the rear camera housing — similar to the glowing orb that will reportedly feature on the upcoming [Pixel 11 lineup](/tech/966120/google-pixel-11-camera-bar-teaser).\n\nThe keyboards also include a new key on the bottom row that displays Google’s “G” branding. *Digital Citizen* reports that this is a dedicated hardware key to surface Gemini, but it’s worth noting that the keyboards also include a [Quick Insert button](/2024/10/1/24259069/chromebook-quick-insert-ai-button-samsung-lenovo) where the cap lock key is — something that Chromebooks introduced to call up Gemini back in 2024.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/lenovo-googlebook-leaks-reveal-a-laptop-and-2-in-1-tablet", "canonical_source": "https://www.theverge.com/tech/974377/lenovo-googlebook-google-image-leaks-laptops", "published_at": "2026-08-03 13:12:03+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-03 13:18:56.369532+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products", "ai-agents"], "entities": ["Lenovo", "Google", "Digital Citizen", "Android Headlines", "Acer", "Asus", "Dell", "HP"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/lenovo-googlebook-leaks-reveal-a-laptop-and-2-in-1-tablet", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/lenovo-googlebook-leaks-reveal-a-laptop-and-2-in-1-tablet.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/lenovo-googlebook-leaks-reveal-a-laptop-and-2-in-1-tablet.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/lenovo-googlebook-leaks-reveal-a-laptop-and-2-in-1-tablet.jsonld"}}
