Google has steadily expanded the portfolio of pixel products in recent years. In 2022, the manufacturer's first smart watch was released with the Pixel Watch, last year the first tablet came under the Pixel Banner.
With laptops, on the other hand, in the context of the Pixel series, you mostly satisfied yourself with the models baptized with the "Chromebook". The only exception here is the Chromebook Pixel, which in 2013 was a strong, but especially for conditions at that time, an extraordinarily expensive piece of high-end hardware (RRP: $ 1,300).
Now Google will probably start a new attempt in the area of the laptops, like the portalAndroid Headlineswant to have experienced.
- Capture to leaked, Google internal emails is currently to be developed.
- According to these emails, the product, which is also known as the "code name Snowy", is compared with current high-end competitors. The Apple MacBook Pro in particular is mentioned here, but further comparisons to the Microsoft Surface Laptop or the Samsung Galaxy Book are also drawn.
According to the report, a dedicated team of development is currently working on this laptop. A quick publication seems excluded, instead you are still in an early stage of development.
- Accordingly, no technical data on the pixel laptop is known outside of the alleged positioning in the high-end market.
- After all, there is movement on the software page: HowAndroid Authorityexplains, Google should do without Chromeos as a operating system at its laptops.
Instead, Android is marketed as a laptop operating system. For this purpose, Google is already working on a project designed for several years, which is intended to merge Android and Chromeos.
With this, laptops should receive significantly more offline applications, while tablets should have access to apps that are optimized on larger displays. Initial results with regard to Google reinforced desktop focus can already be seen in Android 15, which enables improved window management.
Now your opinion is asked: Does the notebook market need a Google alternative in the high-end area, especially if no established OS is used? Can a laptop with Android operating system be an option for you at all or is your Windows/MacOS/Linux? Let us know in the comments!
