The current flagship of Google’s Pixel family is the HTC-made smartphone, but the series actually began with a Chromebook laptop. Unfortunately for fans of that device and its follow-up, it doesn’t sound like there will be any new Chromebook Pixel models anytime soon.
Rick Osterloh, Google’s SVP of hardware, said that Google has “no plans” to make a new Pixel laptop. He added that the existing Pixel laptops that were on the market have sold out and that Google has no plans to make any more of them, says TechCrunch.
When they launched, Google’s Chromebook Pixel laptops were much higher-end than any other Chromebooks on the market, packing speedy processors and high-end touchscreen displays. The devices were also much more expensive than most other Chromebooks. They weren’t really meant to boost Chrome OS’s market share; instead, they were meant to show what the platform was capable of. And now it seems that Google is pleased with the current state of Chromebooks, because it sounds like the company is done with the Pixel laptop, at least for now.
Did you ever use a Chromebook Pixel?
