Following Google's big ChromeOS to Googlebook shift and subsequent hardware drop in September, some folks were wondering when a detachable tablet-style Googlebook will break cover. Well, not long as it turns out: Lenovo's Googlebook Duet m just showed up in FCC filings, which means a retail release could be just around the corner.

Over at the Federal Communications Commission, filings were spotted recently granting certification to Lenovo's new detachable keyboard and Pen Pro stylus, cataloged under O57DUET13BTKB and O57AP501U1 respectively. The documentation states that the keyboard is meant for a Googlebook device, while the included diagrams clearly show Googlebook branding. The keyboard operates over Bluetooth LE, featuring an internal battery and physical pogo-pin connectors along its top edge, which means that the keyboard can function when magnetically attached to the tablet or detached for wireless use.

This hardware progress aligns with announcements from Google at the Android Dev Summit, where executives confirmed that detachable devices represent the next form factor expansion of the Googlebook ecosystem, following the initial wave of traditional clamshells and convertibles.

So far, known specifications of the Duet m point to a more affordable device that should attract users who want a package that combines flexible productivity with media consumption at a more palatable price point. The Googlebook Duet m is expected to have 13-inch OLED touchscreen (it's a tablet too, after all) alongside pen support.

Power will come via a MediaTek Dimensity CX C10 Max (previously tracked as the Kompanio Ultra 910), paired with 16GB of DDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and dual USB-C ports will also be onboard. For biometrics, the main chassis sports a fingerprint sensor, while the back cover incorporates an active kickstand and a Glowbar notification strip right next to the camera housing.

While the hardware appears launch-ready, the exact release timing is still pending and might be hinging on software optimizations within the Googlebook OS. Early reviews of Googlebook laptops have observed major downgrades in multitasking and window management compared to the more mature ChromeOS. We'll have to see how the OS handles being a detachable transitioning between desktop mode and as a tablet.
