Google is no stranger when it comes to laptops. The company has worked with various computer partners in the past to launch Chromebooks. They even launched some under its own brand. But Google is expected to expand its portfolio with Googlebooks and is working with partners like Lenovo. Now, we know what the Lenovo Googlebook name is going to be.
Lenovo Googlebook name revealed
We previously shared exclusive renders of the upcoming Googlebook by Lenovo, whose name was referred to as “Sapphire” back then. However, that was merely a codename. But now, a listing on the Bluetooth SIG website has revealed that the device will be known as the Lenovo Googlebook Duet m.
This is actually not the first Duet laptop from Lenovo. Several years ago, the company launched the Lenovo Chromebook Duet. This is a budget-friendly 2-in-1 laptop that runs on Google’s ChromeOS. So with this new laptop, it looks like we have a rough idea of what to expect from the device.
As for what the “m” is supposed to mean, apparently it’s referring to its chipset. According to the reports, the laptop is said to be powered by the MediaTek Kompanio Ultra 910, which might be rebranded to Dimensity for the Googlebook. It’s not surprising that Lenovo and Google are going for Arm-based chipsets rather than Intel’s x86 CPUs.
We’ve seen companies like Apple enjoy a fair bit of success with its M-series chipset. Qualcomm has also tossed its hat in the ring with the Snapdragon X series, so it makes sense that MediaTek wants in on the action as well. There’s no word on when this laptop will be announced, but with IFA around the corner, maybe we’ll have more details then.
What are Googlebooks?
Like we said earlier, Google is no stranger to making its way into the PC market with ChromeOS. However, the company’s Googlebooks are taking a different approach. It merges Android and ChromeOS into a unified platform. This means that users of Googlebooks can run Android apps natively, giving them access to more apps and functionality.
It has also been designed with Gemini integration in mind, essentially making this Google’s attempt at emulating Microsoft’s approach with Copilot+ PCs. One of the appeals of Chromebooks is its affordability. It will be interesting to see if Google can replicate that success with its new Googlebooks.
