However, ASUS and Lenovo aren’t the only brands preparing to launch Googlebooks. Acer is joining the fray as well.\n\nAccording to information found in the Bluetooth SIG certification [database](https://qualification.bluetooth.com/Listings/Search), Acer is preparing to launch at least four Googlebooks with the model numbers GP714-91N50A0, GP714-91N58Y2, GP714-91N596Q, and GP714-91N70CH (via [ GbookHub](https://gbookhub.io/articles/asus-googlebook-cx9406-new-renders-leak)).\n\nThe outlet also found retailer listings that include some of the key specs of the upcoming laptop. Acer’s Googlebook could come with an Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and a 256GB SSD. It could also use a 14-inch OLED display with a 2.8K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.\n\nIt’s possible that the specs in the retailer listing correspond to an entry-level Acer Googlebook. Previously leaked benchmark data suggested that the company’s upcoming laptop could feature an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor paired with 32GB of RAM.\n\nThe laptops are also likely to include other Googlebook-specific features, such as the Glow Bar and a dedicated Gemini key. They should also support features that Google has already confirmed for upcoming Googlebook laptops. These include [Magic Pointer](https://www.androidauthority.com/magic-pointer-teardown-3687510/), Create My Widget, Cast My Apps, Quick Access, and more.\n\nRetailer [listings](https://www.shi.fr/product/52068740/Acer-Googlebook-14-GP7141N_UMA5MFbbLR_5LxUT-GP714-91N-50HP14-inch-2.8K-OLED-120Hz) suggest that Acer’s Googlebook could be priced at around €1,150 (~$1,320). However, Chromebook prices in the past have usually been similar in Europe and the US. It’s possible that the Acer Googlebook will also be available in the US for around $1,150.\n\nGooglebook laptops are expected to launch this fall. The outlet also spotted a retailer listing with a November 8 release date for the Acer Googlebook. That would be in line with Google’s fall launch window. However, the listing has since been removed, so we’d recommend you take this information (and all of the rest too) with a pinch of salt.\n\nThank you for being part of our community.
