Massive Press Images Leak Shows Lenovo Googlebook 15 and Early ASUS Designs

The images reveal Google‑forward branding, a dedicated Gemini hardware key and an Android‑based Aluminium OS while official specs, prices and launch details remain unconfirmed.

Overview

  • Monday's leak, shared by Digital Citizen and reported across outlets, published full press images that give the clearest look yet at the Lenovo Googlebook 15 and additional 2‑in‑1 and ASUS Googlebook renders.
  • The images show a new Googlebook keyboard layout with a Google 'G' key intended as a Gemini shortcut, Googlebook wordmarks on the palm rest, a top display notch with privacy shutter, and ports including HDMI, USB‑C, USB‑A and a headphone jack.
  • Screenshots in the press set depict an Android‑style top status bar, a bottom dock and heavyweight apps such as Adobe Premiere Pro in the launcher, which suggests broader app support than traditional Chromebooks.
  • Google and Lenovo have not confirmed specs, pricing or availability, and reporting flags a global memory/RAM shortage that analysts warn could push early prices higher for the fall launch window.
  • Google has positioned multiple OEMs — including Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP and Lenovo — to ship first‑wave Googlebooks, with an official reveal widely expected at IFA in Berlin in September and wider sales slated for autumn 2026.
