We got to spend some time with the upcoming Googlebooks, and there’s a strong chance these laptops could become mainstream players. Ahead of their October 4, 2026, release date, you can preorder units from HP, Lenovo, Dell, Acer, and Asus and get some nice perks for free. So if you’re even remotely interested, we recommend getting them from Best Buy, which offers one of the best promotions.
Googlebooks are making a statement off the bat with prices starting at $899 and going as high as $1,300. It’s a sizable investment for a new platform that has yet to prove itself. However, we know that some people out there are going to take a chance because of what the platform promises.
While we’re not seeing too many deals across the web, Best Buy is offering a few freebies when purchasing a Googlebook. Perhaps the most important one is you get a free pair of Google Pixel Buds 2a, which have a retail price of $129. We had a chance to review them when they first came out and felt that they were pretty good.
They’re comfortable, provide ANC on a budget, and come in some fun colors. In addition, Best Buy is also throwing in a free month of XBOX Game Pass Ultimate and a six-month subscription to Webroot. The latter two are things they throw in with most computing purchases, but the free Pixel Buds 2a are unique to Googlebook products.
If you purchase an Acer or Asus Googlebook, you can also save 25% off Logitech products. Best Buy carries five different Googlebook devices that will launch on October 4, 2026. You’ll have a small window to make your decision. Will you be picking one up?
