TL;DR
- Some new renders of an upcoming Googlebook laptop from Lenovo have surfaced.
- AI-generated images of an ASUS model were also shared.
- It’s possible the AI images are based on real press renders, but we haven’t been able to confirm that.
First up: more views of the larger of Lenovo’s two Googlebooks. We’ve seen this laptop from lots of angles already, so there’s not much new information here. The images are nice and sharp, though, providing a good view of the machine’s ports and screen hinge.
Digital Citizen also shared a ton of images that, at a glance, seem to show ASUS’s upcoming Googlebook from nearly every angle. But if you look a little closer, you’ll see that the images below are AI-generated. Details like status bar icons and characters on the laptop’s keyboard are squiggly nonsense; even the ASUS and Googlebook badging show heavy artifacting.
There are 14 images total in what Digital Citizen calls “a complete press render set for the ASUS Googlebook.” We’ve only shared a few here. The original report doesn’t acknowledge that the images are AI-generated.
It’s possible that, somewhere in the chain of custody of genuine press renders of the laptop, someone tried to use an AI upscaler, or to remove watermarks with an AI tool. So the images above may be based on press renders of the ASUS Googlebook, but they’re not quite legit. I wasn’t able to get in touch with Digital Citizen to get more information.
The first round of Android-based Googlebooks will be available this fall.
