Google’s Pixel series of smartphones has matured in recent years to mirror that of Apple and Samsung’s annual iPhone and Galaxy S releases. Conversely, Google has let its laptop division stagnate to the point of irrelevance. Indeed, the last Pixel laptop launched arrived the same year as the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL.
However, Android Headlines now claims to have received reports that Google will soon return to the laptop market with a new product. Unfortunately, the website did not provide a timeline for the official introduction of the device. On the other hand, it provided some clues about its development.
It appears that Google executives have approved the project, which means that a team of Googlers is now assigned to its development. To that effect, Android Headlines claims that a leaked internal email mentions the codename “Snowy,” which is already sparking comparisons to the Dell XPS 14 and Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 (currently $875). on Amazon), among other premium compact laptops.
It appears that the so-called Google Pixel laptop runs Android, not ChromeOS. Please see our article on Google’s potential move towards a unified Android desktop experience for more information on this.
