Google is working on a Pixel laptop, report claims
The name Pixel was first used by Google in the original Chromebook Pixel back in 2013. While the Chromebook Pixel line got discontinued in 2017, the name Pixel has lived on to describe Google's entire mobile portfolio.
And soon, the company will launch a new laptop according to a new rumor. This will be very descriptively called Google Pixel Laptop, and its internal codename is allegedly Snowy.
Google employees are reportedly comparing it to Apple's MacBook Pro, Dell's XPS line, the Microsoft Surface Laptop, and the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook, so it should be high-end as those in build quality aiming for a slice of the premium laptop market.
What is unclear, and perhaps the most important bit of info about it, is whether it will run Google's Chrome OS or Windows. We assume it's most likely the former, but that will undoubtedly stifle its mass appeal.
