Google has officially opened pre-orders for its new Googlebook laptop lineup, introducing five premium devices designed to bring Android integration, Gemini AI features and high-end hardware to the laptop market.
The new Googlebook range includes models from Acer, Dell, Lenovo, ASUS and HP. Prices start at $899 in the United States, putting the devices firmly above the traditional budget Chromebook segment.
Googlebook laptops are built around a new computing platform that combines elements of Android and ChromeOS while placing stronger emphasis on connections with Android smartphones.
Google is also integrating Gemini-powered features into the desktop experience, giving users tools designed around AI assistance, productivity and interaction with their phones.
All five launch models come with at least 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, while some configurations offer 32GB of memory and larger storage options. Google has also positioned the machines as long-term premium laptops rather than inexpensive alternatives.
Here is what each Googlebook model is designed for.
ASUS Googlebook 14: Best for Travel
The ASUS Googlebook 14 is aimed at people who regularly carry their laptop between home, office, university or while travelling.
It weighs around 2.2 pounds and has a slim magnesium-aluminum chassis, making it one of the lightest laptops in the lineup. ASUS lists a 14-inch 3K OLED touchscreen and Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors.
The laptop can be configured with 16GB or 32GB of memory and up to 512GB of SSD storage. ASUS also claims up to 18 hours of battery life under its testing conditions.
The ASUS Googlebook 14 starts at $1,299, making it a premium option for buyers who prioritize portability without giving up a high-resolution OLED display.
Acer Googlebook 14: Best for Value and Flexibility
The Acer Googlebook 14 is the entry point into the new Googlebook family, with a starting price of $899.
It features a 14-inch 2.8K OLED touchscreen and Intel Core Ultra processors. Unlike the other launch models, Acer’s machine is also a convertible, allowing it to switch between traditional laptop and tablet-style configurations.
With its lower starting price and flexible design, the Acer model is positioned as an option for buyers who want to experience Google’s new platform without moving all the way into the $1,299 price range.
Dell XPS Googlebook: Best for Lightweight Performance
The Dell XPS Googlebook is another highly portable option, combining a compact design with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite processor.
It has a 13.4-inch 2.5K touchscreen and weighs roughly 2.5 pounds. Depending on configuration, it can offer between 16GB and 32GB of RAM, while storage starts at 512GB.
The Dell model starts at $999 according to Google’s current US lineup, making it the second-lowest-priced Googlebook at launch.
Its combination of a smaller display, lightweight design and Snapdragon processor makes it particularly suited to professionals who spend considerable time working away from a desk.
Lenovo Googlebook 15: Best for a Larger Display
The Lenovo Googlebook 15 takes a different approach by offering the largest screen in the initial lineup.
It comes with a 15.3-inch 2.8K OLED touchscreen and an Intel Core Ultra 5 processor. The larger display can provide more room for documents, spreadsheets, browser windows and creative applications.
The model starts at $1,099 in Google’s current US pricing.
For users who prefer a larger workspace but still want a relatively portable machine, the Lenovo Googlebook 15 provides a middle ground between ultraportable laptops and larger workstation-style devices.
HP Googlebook 14: Best for Premium Battery Life
The HP Googlebook 14 is another $1,299 model and uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite platform.
It features a 14-inch 2.8K OLED touchscreen and supports configurations with up to 32GB of RAM. HP’s machine is also among the models offering larger storage options.
Google’s current specifications list a claimed battery life of up to 19 hours for the HP model, although real-world battery performance can vary depending on applications, brightness and other usage conditions.
The laptop is therefore positioned toward users who want a premium display, strong mobile performance and extended battery endurance.
Googlebook’s wider appeal comes from its connection with Android smartphones. The platform is designed to make it easier for users to move between their phone and laptop, while Gemini provides AI-powered features directly within the computing experience.
Google has opened pre-orders for the five models, with US retail availability scheduled for October 4, 2026. The devices are scheduled to reach Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany and Australia on October 5.
The new lineup represents Google’s attempt to move beyond the traditional budget-focused Chromebook market and compete in the premium laptop category.
With five manufacturers offering different designs, processors, screen sizes and price points, Googlebook is being presented as a broader laptop platform rather than a single Google-branded computer.
