Acer Googlebook 14 review

At a glance: Acer Googlebook 14 What is it? The Acer Googlebook 14 is one of the first Googlebook devices on the market.

Unlike budget Chromebooks , Googlebooks are premium laptops that run Googlebook OS, an operating system based on Android, and Acer’s model is the most affordable variant and the only one that currently offers a 2-in-1 form factor.

What does it cost? Googlebooks aren’t budget devices like Chromebooks — they come with premium price tags.

That said, the Acer Googlebook 14 is the cheapest model you can get right now, starting at $899 / £999 (around AU$1,300).

This entry-level model comes with an Intel Core Ultra 5 Series 3 processor, a 14-inch OLED screen, and 16GB RAM, and in some markets, you can also get it with a more powerful Intel Core Ultra 7 processor.

Alternatives The Acer Googlebook 14 launches alongside four other Googlebooks: the Asus Googlebook 14, HP Googlebook 14, Lenovo Googlebook 15, and the Dell XPS Googlebook.

These laptops all have superficially similar specs, such as starting with 16GB of RAM and 512GB storage, but each one has a different selling point, be it a larger screen, thinner design, or, in the Acer Googlebook 14’s case, a 2-in-1 design.
