We have seen Google create Pixel phones and, before that, Nexus phones. Google has also developed several other devices, including Pixel tablets and earbuds. However, we have never seen Google release a Pixel-branded laptop. This, however, is about to change, as Google is reportedly moving beyond the concept phase of creating its own Pixel laptop.

What Operating System Will It Run?
Based on various reports, it could run Android, which may involve a complete transition away from Chrome OS. While Android Headlines suggests the laptop will most likely run Chrome OS, a new report by Android Authority claims Google is fully committing to Android, potentially moving away from Chrome OS entirely.
The Android Authority report highlights that Google is working on adding several new features to Android, such as improved keyboard and mouse support, external monitor compatibility, multiple desktop support, and more. While these improvements will immediately benefit the Pixel Tablet 2, they are also expected to help Google with the upcoming Pixel laptop.
Another significant advantage of this unification of Chrome OS and Android would be the broader availability of Android apps. This transition could make Android more feature-rich and open, giving Google a stronger foothold to compete with Apple’s MacBook Pro and iPad lineup.
