Google is launching five Googlebook models to start, with new notebooks from Acer, Dell, ASUS, HP, and Lenovo covering a pretty wide range of sizes and price points. They’re all built around Googlebook OS, which combines a native Android stack with some of the desktop and multi-window capabilities Google previously offered through ChromeOS. The big highlight here is tighter integration with Android phones, with things like synced settings, passwords, Wi-Fi, messages, cross-device continuity, app casting, and easier access to files stored on your phone. You’re also getting Gemini features baked into the experience, along with a desktop-class Chrome browser and support for Android apps, web apps, and Linux tools.
On the hardware side, every launch model comes with at least 16GB of RAM, a touchscreen, and either an Intel Core Ultra Series 3 or Snapdragon X Elite processor with 40+ TOPS NPUs. Depending on the model, you’ll find up to 3K OLED displays, haptic trackpads, premium aluminum, magnesium, or carbon fiber builds, and up to 16 hours of web browsing battery life. All five are now up for pre-order ahead of their October 4 launch. You can learn more about the Googlebooks in our launch coverage right here.
