A new leak about HP laptops under the Googlebook brand confirms support for the 'Continue On' feature. Developed by Google, this option will serve as an alternative to Apple Handoff, allowing users to seamlessly switch between devices and continue work from where they left off. For instance, you could start browsing a webpage on your smartphone and finish it on your laptop without reloading the page.
Google plans to unveil the first devices under the Googlebook brand next month. Unlike Chromebooks, these laptops will be manufactured by partners including HP, Acer, ASUS, and Lenovo. While Google won’t handle production, it will provide software support and ecosystem integration.
The leak, shared via an X* account, doesn’t reveal technical specifications for the HP device. However, the image shows a laptop with a physical webcam shutter, available in dark blue or gray-blue. The device follows a traditional clamshell design without a detachable screen but offers a 360-degree hinge.
Googlebook devices are expected to run on Intel, Qualcomm, or MediaTek processors. Exact chip models and other hardware details will be revealed closer to the official announcement.
