GoKawiilAndroid Authority poll: readers split on Google's five Googlebook laptops, many undecided
Android Authority surveyed readers on which of Google's five newly announced Googlebooks they would purchase. The Lenovo Googlebook 15 led with 19% of votes, followed by the Dell XPS Googlebook at 16%, the Acer Googlebook 14 at 14.1%, the ASUS Googlebook 14 at 12.7%, and the HP Googlebook 14 trailing at 9.8%. Roughly a third of respondents, combining those who skipped a pick and the 15% awaiting more options, did not commit to any current model.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The scattered results suggest no single Googlebook model has clearly captured early interest, which could complicate Google's efforts to establish a unified Android laptop ecosystem. The sizable share of respondents withholding a choice may indicate hesitation about price points or a desire for more device variety before committing, according to the poll's framing. Early consumer reaction like this could factor into how OEM partners and Google prioritize future marketing or pricing adjustments.
- Lenovo Googlebook 15 topped the informal poll with 19% of respondent votes.
- Prices across the five Googlebooks range from $899 for the Acer to $1,299 for several Snapdragon X Elite-powered models.
- About 15% of respondents said they're waiting for more Googlebook options before deciding.
