Google's Pixel smartphone line has grown over the years, becoming comparable to Apple and Samsung's yearly iPhone and Galaxy launches. On the other hand, Google's laptop sector has been left behind, becoming almost insignificant. In fact, the last Pixel laptop was released in the same year as the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL.
New Developments on the Horizon
Recently, Android Headlines has reported that they received news suggesting Google might be making a comeback in the laptop arena with a fresh device. Sadly, the website hasn’t shared when we can expect to see this new product officially launched. Instead, they’ve dropped a few clues about what’s in the works.
Reports say that Google’s higher-ups have given the green light for this project, and now a dedicated team of Googlers is working on it. According to Android Headlines, an internal email that was leaked mentions the project being called 'Snowy', which has led to comparisons with the Dell XPS 14 and Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 (currently priced at $875 on Amazon), among other premium compact laptops.
A Shift in Operating System?
Interestingly, it seems that the upcoming Google Pixel laptop might operate on Android rather than ChromeOS. For more details about this potential shift towards a unified Android desktop experience, check out our previous article.
Android Authority and Android Headlines have both been in the loop about these developments.
