Google is expanding its new Googlebook ecosystem beyond traditional laptops, confirming that detachable tablet devices will be the next major addition to its hardware lineup. The upcoming products will run Googlebook OS, the company’s new operating system combining elements of ChromeOS and Android.
The announcement was made during the Android Dev Summit 2026 keynote on October 28. Google confirmed that its platform will support three major device categories: traditional clamshell laptops, convertible computers and detachable tablets.
Lenovo could be the first manufacturer
Although Google has not revealed the first detachable model, Lenovo is widely expected to be among the first manufacturers to introduce one.
Earlier leaks pointed to a device reportedly called the Lenovo Googlebook Duet m. It is expected to feature a 13-inch display, a removable keyboard, a built-in kickstand and stylus support.
However, neither Lenovo nor Google has officially confirmed these specifications.
The detachable design would allow users to switch between a traditional laptop experience and a standalone tablet, making the device suitable for productivity, entertainment and creative tasks.
What makes Googlebook OS different?
Googlebook OS combines the Android technology stack with the familiar desktop experience of ChromeOS. The platform is designed to support native Android applications, multitasking and Google’s Gemini AI assistant.
Google’s initial Googlebook lineup includes five devices developed with Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP and Lenovo.
The company has also established a relatively high hardware baseline for the range, with at least 16GB of RAM and neural processing capabilities exceeding 45 TOPS.
One existing example is the Acer Googlebook 14, a convertible laptop that supports laptop, tent and tablet modes. Its starting price is $899 in the US.
Release date and expected price
Google has confirmed that detachable Googlebook devices are coming soon, but has not announced an exact release date, official product name or retail price.
Lenovo’s potential Googlebook Duet m is still based on leaked information, so its specifications and availability should be treated as unconfirmed.
The expansion could nevertheless make Googlebook OS a more serious competitor in the premium tablet and laptop market, particularly for users who want the flexibility of both devices in one package.
