Google is reportedly working on a Pixel-branded laptop with high-end specifications. The tech giant is said to have assigned a team dedicated to this project and the brand could pack reasonably advanced hardware on the upcoming device. The so-called Pixel laptop may run on Android instead of ChromeOS. It is expected to compete against Apple's MacBook Pro or Microsoft's Surface laptops. Google announced its last Pixel laptop — the Pixelbook Go — in 2019.

Citing an internal email, Android Headlines reports that Google will soon be returning to the laptop market with a new premium Pixel laptop. Inside the company, the laptop (codenamed “Snowy") is being considered as a competitor to other high-end laptops, including the MacBook Pro, Dell XPS, Microsoft Surface and the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook. It is speculated to come with high-end specifications.

Additionally, a report by Android Headlines suggests that Google's rumoured Pixel laptop will run a new version of desktop Android. Unfortunately, the reports do not include a timeline for the launch of the Pixel-branded laptop.

It has been a long time since Google released a Pixel laptop. The brand unveiled the Pixelbook Go in October 2019 at its Made by Google event alongside the Google Pixel Buds, Nest Wi-Fi, and Nest Mini. The first Chromebook with Pixel branding was launched in 2013.

The Pixelbook Go came with a Chrome OS and has Intel Core M3 processors on the base variant, and Intel Core i7 processors on the higher-end variant. It sports a 13.3-inch display and is offered in 8GB or 16GB RAM options. It has 64GB, 128GB, or 256GB storage variants as well.
