[Gearbest Technology News]Google launched its first Chromebook Pixel in 2013, making the name “Pixel” a key symbol of its hardware lineup. Although Google discontinued the Chromebook Pixel series in 2017, the Pixel brand still covers the company’s entire mobile hardware ecosystem. Recently, rumors suggest Google is developing a new high-end laptop, set to be released as the “Google Pixel Laptop,” with the internal codename “Snowy.”
According to reports, Google employees are comparing the upcoming Pixel Laptop with Apple’s MacBook Pro, Dell’s XPS series, Microsoft’s Surface Laptop, and Samsung’s Galaxy Chromebook. This suggests that Google aims to position its Pixel Laptop in the high-end market, focusing on superior design and manufacturing quality. The company is striving to capture the high-end user base. Pixel Laptop may come with top-tier hardware and exceptional industrial design, seeking to carve out a share of the premium laptop market.
Specific details about the Pixel Laptop remain under wraps, but one major point of interest is its choice of operating system. It’s still unclear whether the device will run Google’s Chrome OS or Windows.
Chrome OS is lightweight and cloud-based, making it popular in the education sector. However, its appeal in the high-end consumer market may be limited. A Pixel Laptop running Windows, on the other hand, could attract more users. Whether this aligns with Google’s overall strategy is still uncertain.
