Lenovo’s first Googlebook actually costs $200 less than announced, and it’s not the only one
Lenovo today put a spotlight on its Googlebook release, also confirming that initial pricing was incorrect and that the Lenovo Googlebook 15 will, in fact, start at $1,099. more…
Lenovo has clarified that its newly announced Googlebook 15 laptops will start at $1,099, a $200 discount from the initial $1,299 price point initially announced by Google. The Lenovo Googlebook 15 is tailored for professionals, creators, and business owners, boasting an Intel Core Ultra 5 processor with "Gemini Intelligence," up to 32GB of memory, and up to 512GB of storage.
Weighing under 3 lbs., this lightweight 15-inch device offers up to 47 TOPS of performance and a haptic trackpad, 12.5-hour battery life, and Dolby Atmos speakers. Lenovo also included a wireless mouse with a "Glowbar" specifically designed for the Googlebook platform.
Despite the reduced price, some retailers like Google's own store still list the Lenovo Googlebook 15 at $1,149, while Best Buy is showing the correct $1,099 price. Lenovo's Googlebook lineup is set to launch on October 4. This pricing discrepancy isn't unique to Lenovo; the Dell XPS Googlebook was initially priced at $1,199, but is actually $999.
Google has not publicly explained the reason behind these initial pricing errors, which appear to be on Google's end rather than reflecting consumer feedback. Currently, Asus and HP's Googlebooks launch at $1,299, while the Acer Googlebook is the most affordable at $899.
