Sep 2, 2026 — 6:24 AM ET
- Acer has announced that its first Googlebook is “coming soon.”
- The company didn’t reveal more launch details, but we’re guessing it could feature at the Googlebook briefings tipped for later this month.
- Acer also gave us a fleeting glimpse of the machine, revealing what appears to be a conventional laptop.
Update, September 2, 2026 (01:46 PM ET): Google has reached out to Android Authority to clarify that there will be no public announcements of any Googlebook hardware on September 15. You’ll just have to wait a little longer.
Original article, September 2, 2026 (06:24 AM ET): Google will share new info about Googlebook launches this month, and we’re expecting many devices from hardware partners. Now, Acer has confirmed that it’ll “soon” offer a Googlebook of its own, while giving us a fleeting glimpse at the device.
Acer confirmed at its IFA 2026 event that its first Googlebook is “coming soon,” without revealing more availability details. It feels likely that we’ll learn more about Acer’s new computer in the weeks to come.
Otherwise, the company also gave us a glimpse of its new Googlebook. There isn’t much to glean from the images, but it looks like a conventional laptop rather than a detachable device. We can also see a Google Pixel phone next to the laptop, hinting at the previously disclosed cross-device integration.
Previous Acer Googlebook leaks hint at a machine with an Intel Core Ultra 5 chip, 16GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, and a 14-inch 120Hz OLED screen. We can’t rule out variants with more impressive internals, either.
This wasn’t the only news Acer had at IFA 2026, though. It also announced an ePaper monitor, the crazy Project DualPlay Mini concept handheld, new Swift laptops, and new Iconia Android tablets.
