Googlebook may use older Snapdragon chips to build more affordable laptops
The first Snapdragon-powered Googlebooks may have surfaced in development code, pointing to X Plus and X Elite chips from 2024.
Google has confirmed Googlebook will support multiple chipmakers, with new leak revealing potential Snapdragon models in development. The Snapdragon X Plus X1P-42-100, an eight-core chip capable of reaching 3.4GHz, is linked to Googlebook designs Annite and Pic. Both chips launched in September 2024, potentially making Googlebook laptops more affordable than those using newer hardware.
Snapdragon X Plus models can be found for about $700 to $1,100, while X Elite models may cost up to $1,600. Google is collaborating with Intel, Qualcomm, and MediaTek for Googlebook, so Snapdragon hardware is expected. However, this remains speculative until verified through certification databases or concrete hardware listings.
