Dell Leak Shows Googlebook Will Be Branded As XPS Laptop

The disclosure ties Dell’s premium XPS name to Google’s Gemini-powered laptop push, foreshadowing tiered pricing across partner models.

Overview

  • A Dell product carbon-footprint document, shared publicly by leaker Evan Blass, lists a Dell XPS Googlebook with model number DX13267 and the codename “Mica.”
  • The leaked entry names a 13.4-inch display, a roughly 1.1 kg weight and a four-year product lifetime but does not list final hardware specs or software details.
  • Google has positioned Googlebook as an Android-based laptop category built around Gemini AI features, and the company has scheduled pre-orders to begin on Sept. 21.
  • Reports and earlier leaks suggest Dell will also offer lower-cost Googlebook variants using Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus chips with rumored target prices of $599 to $799, though those figures remain unconfirmed.
  • Multiple OEMs, including Acer, Asus, HP and Lenovo, are working with Google on Googlebooks and the steady flow of leaked documents is shaping expectations about branding, pricing tiers and ship timing ahead of official announcements.
