Google may re-enter the laptop game with a Pixel branded laptop

Just this past week rumors began to swirl about Google possibly making another laptop. Details were very sparse especially regarding the OS the Pixel Laptop would run. I thought that was highly suspicious due to Google already having a desktop OS with ChromeOS. A day later more news dropped and the rumor is the Pixel Laptop is going to run Android. Yes, Android. Not Fuchsia or ChromeOS but Android.

Now, Android does not have a traditional desktop OS so I assume Google is creating a new desktop version for laptops in the future. Then if that was not enough news, Google is rumored to merge ChromeOS into Android which makes the previous rumor seem more credible. Google have not commented on any of this so we really don't know what's going on.

My take on this

I believe there is something brewing with the Google hardware team and a laptop is definitely something that's being worked on. Will it ever see the light of day? Who knows? Pixelbook Go was the last laptop made by Google and it was released in 2019. The Chromebook world is in need of a shake up and with the rumor merger of ChromeOS and Android along with a Pixel Laptop. It just may be the reset needed for Google's desktop OS to really take off.

What do you think about all this? What happens to the Chromebooks running ChromeOS and do those get upgraded before an Android laptop is released? Let me know what you think in the comments section.

Reviewing the Pixelbook Go after 5 yrs | Software that is outpacing the hardware

No doubt, the Pixelbook Go has served me well in my 5 yrs with the laptop. This is not necessarily a review of the features on the laptop but a review of the PBG hardware and its usability in 2025. I acknowledge that I am a part of a very small club of users that still have and use this device but I must say that I still enjoy using the PBG every single day. Now, to the review. Hardware Right off the bat. The hardware is probably the least compelling aspect of the PBG. When the laptop was first released in 2019 it was already a year or two behind the competition with the onboard soc. Surprisingly, this has not negatively impacted using the laptop with most tasks. Web surfing is a breeze and most Android apps run pretty effortlessly. The 8th Gen i5 Intel soc paired with 8GB of RAM is well optimized and I feel that Google is getting as much as it can out of the chip. Where the PBG falls short is with video editing apps. I've tried several Android apps and a couple of Linux ap...
