Google opens pre-orders for $899 AI-powered Googlebook laptops

2026-09-21 13:00 UTC – 2026-09-22 11:11 UTC

Neutral summary

Google opened pre-orders for its new line of Googlebook laptops, announced on September 21, 2026. This is a new category of devices based on Googlebook OS, built on the Android technology stack with elements from ChromeOS. The first models are produced by Acer, Asus, Dell, HP and Lenovo, powered by Intel Panther Lake and Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processors. Prices start at $899, with European pricing from 1,000 to 1,400 euros and UK pricing from £999. The laptops offer Gemini Intelligence AI features, synchronization with Android smartphones, and up to 14 hours of battery life. Google promises up to 10 years of OS updates. According to Valor Econômico, the launch comes amid intensifying competition, as Apple pushes its more affordable MacBook Neo at $699. The Register notes that Google calls Googlebook a “new category” rather than a premium Chromebook, though some resemblance remains. Frandroid expresses doubts about the devices’ appeal due to their high price, while TechRadar believes Googlebook are aimed at competing with the MacBook Air for Android users.
