The First Wave of Googlebooks: All 6 Launch Devices Confirmed

Googlebooks are slated for a Fall 2026 release, and digging through development repositories like Chromium Gerrit has already revealed over a dozen device codenames.

When Google first announced the initiative, they named Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo as their five initial launch partners. While we initially predicted around eight devices would hit the market, our subsequent investigations have practically confirmed the product names or baseboards (development codenames) for six specific models.

Here is a comprehensive breakdown of the initial six-device lineup as we know it today.

The 6 Confirmed Launch Devices

Based on the data gathered so far, here are the first six Googlebooks arriving from various manufacturers:

Note: While these product names have been corroborated through official sites and certification databases, they remain subject to change before the final retail release.

The Intel Core Ultra Series 3 Models (Fatcat Series)

The "Fatcat" baseboard family, powered by Intel's Panther Lake (Core Ultra Series 3) architecture, brings three confirmed models from Acer, ASUS, and Lenovo to the table.

• Acer Googlebook 14 GP714-91N (Moonstone): Expected to be a 14-inch convertible (or clamshell). Support for USB4 and 100W power delivery has already been spotted.

• ASUS Googlebook CX9406 (Lapis): Evidence points to a test unit equipped with a massive 64GB of RAM, suggesting ASUS is positioning this as a high-end, premium offering.

• Lenovo Googlebook i (15”, 12) / 15IPH12 (Ruby): Set to debut as a larger, 15.3-inch Googlebook.

It’s worth noting that three additional devices—codenamed "Felino," "Francka," and "Kinmen"—are also in the mix, though concrete, near-official details remain elusive. Current speculation leans toward these being future Acer devices.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X Models (Bluey Series)

Over in the ARM camp, the "Bluey" family features Qualcomm’s Snapdragon silicon, with two confirmed models from HP and Dell.

• HP Googlebook 14c (Quartz): The name surfaced via listings on HP's official site. It is confirmed to be housing the higher-end Snapdragon X Elite (X1E-80-100) chipset.

• Dell XPS 13 (DX13267) (Mica): Like HP, this device is slated to pack the Snapdragon X Elite X1E-80-100. Bug reports and benchmark leaks strongly indicate it belongs to Dell, though the final retail name is still under wraps.

While early rumors hinted at the inclusion of the Snapdragon X Plus X1P-42-100, recent benchmark data suggests these machines will actually ship with the beefier X Elite X1E-80-100, paired with either 16GB or 32GB of RAM.

The MediaTek Kompanio Ultra Models (Tanjiro Series)

Based on the current development pipeline, Lenovo appears to be the sole manufacturer prepping a Googlebook powered by the MediaTek Kompanio Ultra 910.

• Lenovo Googlebook Duet m (13", 11) (Sapphire): This is shaping up to be a detachable tablet featuring a 13-inch class display. Evidence also points to a dedicated USI stylus for the device.

Interestingly, MediaTek has announced that its chipsets bound for Googlebooks will ditch the "Kompanio" branding familiar to Chromebooks in favor of the "Dimensity CX" moniker. However, the Kompanio identifier will persist in product documentation, meaning the silicon itself remains structurally identical to the Kompanio Ultra 910.

The Takeaway

While we initially anticipated a launch roster of around eight devices, we can now confidently expect at least six models to hit the shelves on day one.

More importantly, these six machines successfully cover all five of Google's initial launch partners, suggesting that the first wave of hardware is effectively locked in.

As for the remaining codenames we've tracked, they might miss the initial launch window entirely. However, assuming development hasn't stalled, there's a strong chance they will be unveiled at a later date.

As a side note, we've just published our official product database. We will continuously update it as the concrete specs for each device become available:

• Dell XPS 13 (DX13267)

• ASUS Googlebook CX9406

• Lenovo Googlebook i (15", 12)

• Lenovo Googlebook Duet m (13", 11)

• HP Googlebook 14c

• Acer Googlebook 14 GP714-91N
