Googlebook featuresFirst unveiled in May, Googlebook is designed to offer a genuine step up from traditional Chromebooks rather than replacing them. Initial models come from Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo, running on either Intel Core Ultra or Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processors, with up to 14 hours of battery life. Devices start with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, weigh under 2.85 pounds, and are built with premium materials including aluminium, magnesium, and carbon fiber.
