An early look at the first set of Googlebooks
The Android-powered Googlebooks are coming soon, with familiar brands and specs that rival Windows Copilot machines. For anyone eager to get their hands on any the new laptops, there’s a preorder perk you may want to know about lasting until October 25th, 2026.
When you add a Googlebook to your cart at Best Buy, a pair of Pixel Buds 2A in hazel will be added for free. You can preorder now, with some systems shipping as early as October 5th, 2026. If you’re curious about the new machines, my colleague Antonio G. Di Benedetto got to spend some time with the laptops and shared his thoughts.
There are a number of qualifying Googlebooks available at the retailer, including options from Acer, Lenovo, Asus, HP, and Dell. There’s a dedicated category page for the new genre of laptop in case you want to peruse the lineup. The least expensive model is the Acer Googlebook 14, which starts at $899 and features an Intel Core 5 Ultra, 16GB of LPDDR5X memory, and 512GB of storage. We also compared the specifications and features for each machine, in case you’re having trouble deciding.
