Googlebook update frees RAM on select models.

On the Acer Googlebook 14, ASUS Googlebook 14 and Lenovo Googlebook 15, all with 16 GB of RAM, the change targets memory used by on-device AI. Google’s Reddit announcement says it frees 3 GB to 6 GB of RAM, with the aim of making multitasking more stable. The Google Help Center notes describe the improvement but don’t give a number. Alongside that memory improvement, the update brings around 30 fixes, including for USB microphones that stop working, black screens with DRM-protected video on external monitors, and bootloops when an update is interrupted. It also includes the November 2026 security patch, and is rolling out gradually.
