Leaked images of the ASUS Googlebook CX9406 offer one of the clearest signs yet that Google’s laptop plans are starting to take shape. The device is said to run Google’s Android-based Aluminium OS, pointing to a more defined hardware push tied to that platform.
The ASUS model appears to follow a design direction that is becoming easier to recognize. According to the leak, it includes Google’s signature Glowbar along with dedicated keyboard controls, suggesting these laptops may carry a more consistent Google-led identity instead of looking like standard partner notebooks.
This leak also stands out because it comes after recent Lenovo Googlebook details surfaced. With both ASUS and Lenovo now linked to Googlebook hardware, the picture suggests Google may be working with multiple manufacturers as it builds out a broader Aluminium OS laptop lineup.
Many specifics about the ASUS Googlebook CX9406 are still unclear, but the early images add to the sense that Google is moving beyond concept and toward a real family of laptops. If more leaks follow, Google’s approach to Aluminium OS hardware should become much easier to understand.
