Googlebook leaks are coming thick and fast
Google is expected to officially unveil its first crop of Googlebooks next month after announcing the new laptops back at the Android Show in March. But this is Google we're talking about so, naturally, everything is leaking ahead of time.
Following similar leaks of upcoming Googlebooks from the likes of Acer, ASUS and Lenovo we've now gotten a first look at HP's offering. An image (above) posted to X by an account posing as notorious leaker Evan Blass, shows the laptop open with a two-pane Gmail layout and a cluster of Google apps on the taskbar.
If you need a primer on Googlebooks, check out our article on how they're set to differ from Google's traditional Chromebooks.
8 Apple products expected to be unveiled next month
Apple is gearing up for what could be its biggest September event ever. Alongside new CEO John Ternus taking to the stage, we could see up to eight new devices unveiled.
These would span phones, wearables and smart home devices tied to the new AI-powered Siri. Alongside the standard upgrades to the iPhone and Apple Watch, we're expecting the long-awaited debut of Apple's first foldable — the so-called iPhone Ultra.

iPhone Ultra will have 'extremely limited' availability
The iPhone Ultra is expected to cost over $2,000, and yet Apple's first foldable phone could be in such high demand that there is very little supply at first. A notable leaker says that availability for the folding iPhone will be "extremely limited." This is with Apple targeting a production run as high as 10 million units. Also, there's last-minute debate over what Apple will call this thing. My money is on iPhone Ultra and not iPhone Fold.
