Qualcomm announced its Snapdragon X Elite platform will power the first Googlebook laptops, a new category built with Google for Gemini Intelligence. The platform features a 12-core Oryon CPU clocking up to 4GHz and a Hexagon NPU delivering 45 TOPS for on-device generative and agentic AI. Dell and HP are the first manufacturers, with the HP Googlebook 14 and new Dell models available for preorder now.

The collaboration combines Google’s Gemini software with Qualcomm’s emphasis on performance, efficiency, and on-device AI. Features like Cast my Apps, Magic Pointer, and Rambler aim to connect Android devices seamlessly, alongside native Android app and game support.

Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, LPDDR5x memory with up to 135GB/s bandwidth, and support for up to three external 4K displays at 60Hz. The platform also supports 4K HDR capture and 4K120 video decoding. HP’s Samuel Chang says the HP Googlebook 14 blends Snapdragon efficiency with Gemini smarts for productivity.
