Every Googlebook in Development: Board Names, Model Numbers, and Partner Manufacturers

Google and its hardware partners are actively developing the new "Googlebook" lineup, leveraging processors from Intel, Qualcomm, and MediaTek.

The initial commercial roll-out is scheduled for Fall 2026, featuring flagship offerings from five major OEM partners: Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo. Early leaks and commits have already revealed details for six key launch models, including specific product names and model numbers.

Below is a comprehensive breakdown of known development boards (code names), manufacturing partners, and expected product names uncovered across Chromium Gerrit, AOSP repositories, bug reports, and supply-chain sources.

Intel Core Ultra Series 3 (Panther Lake): The "Fatcat" Family

Googlebooks powered by Intel's Panther Lake architecture (Core Ultra Series 3) are built around the shared reference board codenamed "Fatcat". Positioned in the top-tier "Aluminium (AL) Premium" category, these devices are slated to lead the Fall 2026 launch.

Within the Fatcat lineup, Lapis, Ruby, and Moonstone are considered locks for the initial autumn launch. While Felino, Francka, and Kinmen are suspected to be Acer hardware, official confirmation remains pending.

Qualcomm Snapdragon X (hamoa): The "Bluey" Family

Qualcomm Snapdragon X-powered Googlebooks will also anchor the "Aluminium Premium" segment for the initial Fall launch. Built on the "Bluey" reference board, testing data suggests these laptops will feature the higher-end Snapdragon X Elite (X1E-80-100) silicon rather than the standard Snapdragon X Plus.

Both Quartz and Mica are set for release this fall. Additionally, development on two new boards—"Annite" and "Pic"—began between late July and August. Given that both inherit source code from Mica, they likely represent derivative models from Dell.

MediaTek Kompanio Ultra 910 (MT8196): The "Tanjiro" Family

On the MediaTek platform, the "Tanjiro" board series currently lists one confirmed entry: "Sapphire".

Sapphire has been identified as a 13-inch detachable tablet device from Lenovo, featuring dedicated USI stylus support. Notably, MediaTek is rebranding its Googlebook-targeted chips under the "Dimensity CX" moniker, meaning official processor branding may shift prior to release.

Intel Core Series 3 (Wildcat Lake): The "Ocelot" Family

Serving as the successor to Intel's entry-level Core N-series, the "Ocelot" reference platform targets mainstream consumers under the "Aluminium (AL) Mass Premium" banner.

Because Google's initial Fall 2026 push prioritizes top-tier AL Premium tier devices, Ocelot-based models are expected to ship later in late 2026 or into 2027.

Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 (Mahua): The "Calypso" Family

Looking further down the roadmap, early work has already begun on second-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Googlebooks.

"Calypso" acts as the overall project and chipset code name, with Mensa and c1nv spotted as early reference boards. A market release for these models is anticipated for 2027 or later.

Intel Core Ultra Series 4 (Nova Lake): The "Atria" Family

Work is also underway for next-generation Intel hardware using Nova Lake (Core Ultra Series 4) processors—the successor to Panther Lake.

Based on the "Atria" reference platform, repositories show "Penghu", a spin-off board originating from Moonstone (Acer Googlebook 14). Expect these next-gen machines to arrive around 2027–2028.
