Suspicious 'Googlebook' laptop preorder page surfaces at $899, likely parody

A googlebook.com page claims Google has launched a 'Googlebook' laptop 'designed for Gemini Intelligence': Intel Core Ultra or Snapdragon X Elite, from 16GB RAM, under 2.85 lbs, up to 14 hours battery, a dedicated G key and a 'Glowbar' battery indicator, from $899 with bundled Gemini services and 5TB storage. Caveat: the posting account appears to impersonate Google exec Zoubin Ghahramani and Google has no such product line — almost certainly a parody or phishing page, not real product news.
