Google announces the “Googlebook” laptop, describing it as designed to work more closely with an Android phone. Pre-orders begin September 21, with units expected to arrive in stores on October 4.

Reporting across outlets focuses on the same core timeline and the device’s relationship to Android. Engadget says the first Googlebook models are available for pre-order starting “today,” while The Keyword specifies September 21 as the start date. Both accounts agree that the laptop reaches customers on October 4 and that its main selling point is tighter integration with Android phones rather than standalone use.

The differences between outlets appear limited to the wording and timing of when pre-orders begin; both sources point to a September 21 pre-order window and a consistent October 4 release date.
