Details purportedly belonging to an Acer Googlebook 14 have leaked, and based on the specs, it’s shaping up to be a rather formidable powerhouse.
According to Bluetooth SIG records, Acer is one of the first brands to produce the book, with the laptop previously appearing under the codename “Moonstone” under Google’s Chromium development work. While it is still awaiting confirmation from the brand, further rumours have also suggested that this would be the first round of Googlebooks to run on Intel’s latest Panther Lake mobile CPU range.
Getting back on point, the Bluetooth SIG database shows no less than five models: GP714-91N-50A0, GP714-91N-58Y2, GP714-91N-596Q, GP714-91N-70CH, and GP714-91N-73U1. One model in particular was listed as being powered by an Intel Core Ultra 5 325, have 16GB DDR5X RAM, and 256GB storage. On the outside, the laptop will supposedly have a 14-inch 2.8K OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate.
Other physical features that are expected to come with the Googlebook 14 include a physical Gemini Key — think the Microsoft Copilot key on laptops, but for Google instead — a Glow Bar near the top of the display, a camera privacy shutter, support for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity, and a Titan C2 security chip. Oh, and an undisclosed NPU that reportedly will have up to 47 TOPs of AI performance.
Price-wise, the unreleased Acer Googlebook 14 model being mentioned here has an SRP of €1,125 (~RM5,306), making it one of the more “affordable” non-Windows-powered laptops on the current market.
The Googlebook was officially announced a few months ago. Effectively a reimagined Chromebook, made modern by the inclusion and integration of Gemini AI. Yes, AI is. yet again, at the forefront of this laptop’s development. Again, there’s still a lot that isn’t known about it and how the portable machine intends to transform everyday use. On that note, there’s still no specific launch date for the laptop, and there was no mention of the laptop during the search engine’s annual Made by Google event that kicked off earlier today.
