Felino Chromebook listing reveals premium specs
The manifest mentions a "Panther Lake 12Xe3" CPU, which likely refers to Intel's upcoming Core Ultra Series 3 chip with 12 Xe3 GPU cores. The motherboard carries the Q7AP ID, associated with Panther Lake 12Xe hardware. The system includes 32GB of LPDDR5X memory and a 1TB drive, suggesting a premium configuration.
Googlebook is Google's premium laptop line that competes with the Apple MacBook Neo. Google sources CPUs from Intel, Qualcomm, and MediaTek. The Felino listing could represent an early Googlebook prototype or a design that was later shelved, as the manifest is a year old and predates the official Googlebook announcement.
It remains unclear whether the Felino specifications reflect the final Googlebook hardware or an earlier concept that has since changed. Google has not confirmed any details about the device or its launch plans.
