Dell is ready to enter a fresh hardware category with the XPS Googlebook DX13267. Leaked internal documentation reveals the ultraportable machine runs on a Snapdragon X Elite processor and replaces Chrome OS with a full Android software stack. However, official retail pricing remains unconfirmed ahead of the hardware showcase.
The existence of the project surfaced after tipster Evan Blass shared an official Dell carbon disclosure document on X. The corporate filing explicitly names the XPS Googlebook DX13267, which carries the internal development codename Mica. This identifier matches earlier Geekbench 6 test entries for an unreleased XPS model. The designation sits very close to the standard Windows edition XPS 13, pointing to a familiar thin chassis built for travel.
Internal hardware centers on the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite X1E 80 100 processor. Buyers can choose between 16GB or 32GB of fast LPDDR5X memory. Up front, the laptop carries a 13.4 inch OLED touchscreen running at a sharp 2880x1800 resolution. The entire chassis weighs around 1.1 kilograms, designed for a 4 year operational lifecycle. Connectivity features 2 USB C ports alongside Wi Fi 7 wireless support. Early Geekbench scores show single core results around 2200 and multi core figures crossing 9500, though early software optimization will likely alter final retail speeds.
The Googlebook category represents a clear departure from standard Chrome OS laptops. Instead of relying on a web browser base, these premium machines run directly on the Android operating system with deep Gemini AI integration. Google has already confirmed partnerships with major hardware makers including Dell, HP, Lenovo, Acer, and Asus. Advance orders will begin soon, leading into the formal hardware reveal during a dedicated launch event in New York.
