Acer 14 value convertible
Per AndroidAuthority, Acer Googlebook 14 starts at $899 with 14-inch 2.8K OLED touchscreen and Intel Core Ultra 5 or 7 Panther Lake. Chassis is aluminum-magnesium with 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD minimum plus 71Wh battery, per the same report.
Per Gizmodo, it is the only convertible 2-in-1 at launch and only one with mechanical trackpad instead of haptic. Per the same report, Acer pricing is flagged as limited-time Best Buy offer, so treat $899 as launch promo not locked street price.
Buy angle: only pick if tablet flip matters or budget is hard capped under $1,000.
Dell XPS compact Arm
Per AndroidAuthority, Dell XPS Googlebook uses Snapdragon X Elite with 13-inch 2.5K touch display, smallest screen in wave one. RAM is 16GB or 32GB with at least 512GB SSD, plus face unlock, haptic pad and aluminum chassis, per the same report.
Screen tech is unconfirmed in the report with no word on panel type. Starting price is $1,199, per AndroidAuthority.
Buy angle: pick for portability and Arm battery hopes, not for big canvas work.
Lenovo 15 big screen
Per AndroidAuthority and 9to5Google via MacObserver leak, Lenovo Googlebook 15 has 15.3-inch 2880 by 1800 OLED 120Hz 16:10 touchscreen. Processor is Intel Core Ultra 5 class with 16GB or 32GB LPDDR5X and 256GB or 512GB storage, per the same reports.

ASUS and HP gaps
Per AndroidAuthority Sep 16 render leak, ASUS CX9406 and Acer and Lenovo designs show slim builds with Glowbar and healthy ports. Spec detail for ASUS lists up to 16GB RAM class in that leak, with higher 64GB talk from ChromeUnboxed flagged as unconfirmed speculation.
Per ChromeUnboxed snippet, HP Googlebook 14c is linked to 12-core Snapdragon X Elite class. Treat chip and price as [NEEDS VERIFICATION] until OEM sheets post.
