Summary
Leaked images from a removed iF Design listing show the ASUS Googlebook CX9406 running Google’s Android-based Aluminium OS, offering the clearest look yet at Google’s upcoming laptop line.
The listing labeled it a Chromebook, but a Glowbar on the lid plus Google-specific keyboard keys — including a “G” key and launcher symbol — match earlier Lenovo Googlebook leaks.
ASUS’s dark-gray model appears to carry 2 USB-C ports, 2 USB-A ports, HDMI and a 3.5mm jack, while the description says it uses an “Ultra-Ceramic Light Alloy” and weighs under 1 kilogram.
Google has confirmed ASUS as 1 of 5 launch partners alongside Acer, Dell, HP and Lenovo, with the steady stream of leaks pointing to a fall debut for Android-powered Googlebooks.
