Lenovo Googlebook i 15 confirmed via Bluetooth SIG ahead of NYC media event

With Google’s September 15 media showcase in NYC less than a week away, the final regulatory hurdles for the first wave of Googlebook hardware are rapidly clearing. Over the past month, we’ve tracked Lenovo’s flagship clamshell (codenamed ‘Ruby’) through leaked high-resolution press renders and early regulatory milestones under model number GB 15IPH12.

Now, fresh regulatory documentation gives us the final, official commercial branding for the device. According to a public filing published on the Bluetooth SIG database and reported by GbookHub, Lenovo’s 15-inch laptop has officially been certified under its final commercial retail name: the Lenovo Googlebook i (15″, 12).

What the “i” suffix tells us about the processor inside

For anyone familiar with Lenovo’s laptop taxonomy across lines like the IdeaPad Slim 5i or Yoga 9i, that lowercase “i” in the product name is the most telling detail of the entire certification. Lenovo strictly uses the “i” designation to identify Intel-powered models, while AMD or ARM variants typically drop the suffix or use alternative branding.

This officially puts an end to any remaining speculation about whether Lenovo’s 15.3-inch Googlebook will ship with ARM silicon. The certification confirms that the Googlebook i is powered by Intel’s next-generation Panther Lake architecture (specifically the Core Ultra 5 325 spotted in earlier Geekbench test logs), paired with at least 16GB of high-speed RAM and a discrete NPU to drive local Gemini AI tasks.

A massive 15.3-inch workspace built for productivity

Seeing the final branding locked in also solidifies the physical hardware profile we uncovered in earlier render leaks. Lenovo is taking full advantage of the larger form factor to deliver a modern, desk-replacement productivity experience that avoids legacy design clutter.

Rather than cramming a cramped numeric keypad onto the deck, Lenovo chose a clean, centered keyboard layout flanked by upward-firing quad Dolby Atmos speaker grilles. The laptop sports a 15.3-inch 2.8K (2880×1800) display in a productivity-friendly 16:10 aspect ratio, an integrated webcam privacy shutter, and Google’s mandatory lid-mounted Glowbar LED strip to signal background Gemini operations.

Five days until the New York City debut

Clearing Bluetooth SIG certification is essentially the final green light required before hardware can legally land in consumer hands. With regulatory approvals finalized for HP’s Snapdragon X Elite Googlebook 14c and now Lenovo’s 15-inch flagship, the stage is set for a massive multi-OEM showcase next Tuesday in Manhattan.

We will be on the ground in New York City covering the event, gathering details, and capturing videos and I cannot wait to get my hands on the Lenovo Googlebook i (15″, 12) to see how Aluminium OS feels on a large-screen, high-performance Intel canvas.
