Google launched five new Googlebook models on September 21, 2021, with prices ranging from $899 to $1,299. The models, from Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo, vary in processor, display, weight, battery life, and form factor. These differences create distinct options for potential buyers.
The Acer Googlebook 14 is the cheapest model, priced at $899, and is also the only convertible 2-in-1 in the lineup. Dell's XPS Googlebook and ASUS Googlebook 14 follow with a weight of 2.2 pounds each. Dell's model offers impressive battery estimates of up to 18 hours, while ASUS provides a larger OLED display at a $300 premium.
Lenovo's Googlebook 15 stands out with its largest 15.3-inch screen, though it comes with the shortest battery estimate of 13 hours. HP's Googlebook 14, priced at $1,299, boasts the longest battery estimate of 19 hours and supports face and fingerprint unlocking.
All five models run Google's new Android-based laptop platform, but differences in specifications make each option attractive for different users. Google's battery life estimates come from controlled web-browsing tests, but actual runtime may vary depending on settings, network conditions, and usage. The independent testing phase will uncover real-world performance, thermals, and workload-specific differences between Intel and Snapdragon processors.
