Googlebook 15 leaked with specs. OLED, Core Ultra 5 and a glowing strip on the lid

No Googlebook officially exists yet, but leaks surrounding them are increasing. Following August’s body photos, the internals of the upcoming Lenovo Googlebook 15 notebook have now appeared — and these are specs that might surprise many.

End of the era of cheap Chromebooks

Inside, an Intel Core Ultra 5 processor is expected to operate, complemented by 16 or 32 GB of LPDDR5x memory and up to 512 GB of storage. This is significantly above what Google has so far required for the Chromebook Plus series, and it points to users who need real performance, not just a browser. The display is expected to be a 15.3-inch touchscreen OLED with a resolution of 2,880 × 1,800 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and 500 nits of brightness. Power is supplied by a 70Wh battery.

Glowing strip and facial recognition

Several elements are specific to the new brand. You will log in using a fingerprint reader in the button and via Google’s facial recognition, the touchpad is glass with haptic feedback, and on the top lid sits a colorful glowing strip, which Google refers to as Glowbar. The connectivity options are pleasing: two Thunderbolt 4 ports, one USB Type-A, HDMI 2.0, and a classic 3.5mm jack. An earlier leak also revealed a quartet of Dolby Atmos-tuned speakers, a physical webcam shutter, and a dedicated key with the letter “G”.

It won’t be cheap

Neither Lenovo nor Google have yet said anything about the price or release date. However, the component lineup speaks clearly — this won’t be a computer for a few thousand. With its Android-based notebooks, Google is targeting MacBooks, not school computers.

Would you buy an expensive notebook from Google, or is Chromebook forever synonymous with a cheap machine for you?
