Preorders for the new lineup of Android-powered Googlebooks are now open at Best Buy, accompanied by a limited-time promotion. Until October 25, 2026, customers who add a qualifying laptop to their cart will receive a pair of Pixel Buds 2A in hazel at no additional cost.
Some units are scheduled to begin shipping as early as October 5, 2026. The devices feature specifications comparable to Windows Copilot PCs and come from major manufacturers including Acer, Lenovo, Asus, HP, and Dell. A dedicated category page has been created on the retailer’s site to help shoppers browse the available models.
The most affordable option is the Acer Googlebook 14, which starts at $899. It is equipped with an Intel Core 5 Ultra processor, 16GB of LPDDR5X memory, and 512GB of storage. For readers interested in a deeper evaluation of the hardware, detailed hands-on impressions and specification comparisons have been published.
Wait, $899 for an Intel Core 5 is steep for a Chromebook. Are these actually running ChromeOS or something else entirely?
I never thought I’d see Google and Best Buy bundling these together. How long will the free buds last, exactly?
Pixel Buds with a Chromebook? That’s a solid combo for students on a budget. The hazel color looks nice too.
