Though smartphones are the most popular offering in Google’s catalogue to boast the “Pixel” branding, the first-ever “Pixel” device was actually a laptop. Despite that, Google kind of forgot about it and let it fizzle out in the background. However, the Pixel-maker is ready to pick up the forgotten category back. The rumour is Google is working on a Pixel laptop!
Google Pixel Laptop Rumour Round-up
This news comes from AndroidHeadlines, who apparently got their hands on an internal email mentioning this laptop.
What’s cooking?
The Google Pixel Laptop is codenamed “Snowy” and is being compared to the likes of MacBook Pro, Dell XPS series, Microsoft Surface Laptop, and the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook.
The laptop is reportedly beyond the concept phase and Google has already greenlit the project. Furthermore, the source mentions that its development should gear up soon enough.

What to expect
Since Google is drawing a parallel between its Pixel Laptop and some of the top offerings in the market, we can expect it to be a premium offering. As such, the laptop might arrive with a CNC-milled metal frame, AMOLED panel, and top-tier internals.
Considering today’s industry standard, it should have a minimum of 16GB RAM and a terabyte of SSD. Initially, there was confusion about whether the laptop would boot on Windows or Chrome OS. However, AndroidHeadlines later updated their piece saying it would come with Android instead. Additionally, Google’s two operating systems — Android and Chrome OS are apparently being merged. So there’s that.
Google Pixel Laptop Launch and Availability
While some words on the laptop have leaked, there is no concrete information on when the laptop will make it to the masses. However, with the reports of Google moving forward with the development of the Pixel Laptop — we might see it sooner rather than later.
