Google announced it's no longer working on a new Pixel tablet, instead the search giant is concentrating its attention on Chrome OS laptops and Android smartphones. According to
ComputerWorld, the tech firm was working on two smaller versions of the Pixel Slate, but both projects got dropped earlier this week.
As for that future, a Google spokesperson tells me it's quite possible we'll see a new laptop-oriented Pixelbook product before the end of this year. The existing Pixel Slate will continue to be supported and to receive regular software updates all the way through June of 2024, meanwhile, as had initially been promised — nothing's changing there. And the Chrome OS team in general will continue to focus on both laptops and tablets with its software development, as regardless of Google's plans for its own self-made hardware, plenty of other manufacturers still create Chrome OS devices with all types of forms.
