We recently got our first look at Lenovo’s upcoming Googlebook, with leaked renders showcasing its design, port selection, and interface. Now, with just days left until Google’s September 15 Googlebook preview event, a new leak has revealed the notebook’s specifications.

Nothing like a bargain-bin Chromebook

According to an official spec sheet obtained by Mac Observer, the Lenovo Googlebook 15 (model number GB 15IPH12) looks to be a premium notebook featuring a 15.3-inch 120Hz OLED display with a 2880 x 1800 resolution, 16:10 aspect ratio, 500 nits of brightness, and 100 percent DCI-P3 coverage. Inside, it will reportedly pack Intel’s Core Ultra 5 325 processor with integrated graphics, paired with 16GB or 32GB of LPDDR5x RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of storage.

The notebook is also said to feature a 5MP webcam with dual microphones and a physical privacy shutter, four speakers with Dolby Atmos, a 50mm x 95mm haptic touchpad, and a backlit keyboard with a dedicated G key between Fn and Alt. As seen in previous leaks, it’ll also feature an LED strip on the top edge of the lid. The leaked documentation refers to it as the Glowbar, and notes that it will indicate battery and charging status.

Smart features and solid port selection

On the software front, the laptop will reportedly feature built-in Gemini Intelligence for AI tasks. Deep Android phone integration is also expected, which should let users access mobile apps and files directly on the system. For biometrics, the leak points to both a fingerprint reader and Google facial authentication.

Despite packing a large 15.3-inch display, the metal Cloud Gray chassis appears surprisingly light at 2.84 pounds and measures just 0.63 inches thick. A 70W battery will allegedly power the machine, with Lenovo claiming up to 11 hours of video playback. Connectivity also looks surprisingly full-featured, with the spec sheet listing Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, one USB-A port, HDMI 2.0, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Lenovo is apparently also prepping accessories for the Googlebook, including an AI Mouse with matching multicolor accents. While pricing and launch dates remain unconfirmed, the detailed leak suggests that Google and Lenovo are aiming squarely at the high-end laptop market with this device.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX is moving past satellite internet, and it’s making a big move into the US wireless market. The company has agreed to buy cellular spectrum licences from investment firm Grain Management in a deal reportedly worth about $8 billion, its biggest move yet to compete with established mobile carriers such as AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile, according to a WSJ report.

The deal is for spectrum in the 800MHz band, which is for mobile services delivered via terrestrial infrastructure such as cell towers, not satellites. If the acquisition is approved, SpaceX could combine those airwaves with its growing Starlink satellite network to create a more comprehensive wireless service.

AI is a useful tool for handling many tasks in private as well as professional settings, but medical advice, especially diagnosis, is one area where I generally draw the line. General-purpose chatbots tend to sound confident and convincing while giving medical advice, even when they are wrong, as studies have previously found.

That being said, Google's new research points to a much more convincing use for AI in healthcare. Its Articulate Medical Intelligence Explorer chatbot, or AMIE for short, could help prepare both sides before the appointment even begins.
