Google has always relied on traditional PC manufacturers to sell Chromebooks, but Google has occasionally tried to sell its own Chrome OS hardware too.

Google is preparing to launch its newest hardware at next month's "Made by Google" event.

Google has been the major player in software for many years, but their hardware-related ambitions have been unpredictable so far. As of now, the only seriously taken hardware division is the Pixel phones. Google hasn't had much success in producing tablets, laptops, and convertibles.

Google's commitment to its Chrome OS desktop operating system has been evident in the past, and with good reason, as Chrome OS serves its purpose as a nice, lightweight operating system. But while Chrome OS has been mostly a thing for cheaper, budget Chromebooks, Google has also tried to make higher-end Chromebooks, bringing bleeding-edge specs...

Google Assistant started a couple of years ago on just Allo and Google Pixel phones. Slowly, it has been added to many more devices. Almost any Android phone can use Assistant now, but Chromebooks are still lagging behind. Currently, only the Pixelbook and Pixel Slate support Google Assistant on Chrome OS. That should be changing...

One of the most anticipated features for the Android Messages app (now called just "Messages") was its web client, at least among Americans who still send messages via SMS.

From the very beginning, Chrome OS has always been about 3 things: Speed, Simplicity, and Security. Google’s heavily customized operating system built upon the Linux kernel runs exceptionally well on almost any hardware, but unlike many GNU/Linux distributions that need you to have some level of familiarity with a terminal, Chrome OS is designed to be...

We're just 3 days away from this year's MadeByGoogle event. While it's nearly impossible to keep everything under wraps, we've seen a comically large number of leaks of this year's Pixel line-up, most notably of the Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. We've even seen the third-generation Chromecast, Google Home Hub smart display, and Pixel Stand wireless charging dock....

There are a lot of different Chromebooks in the works right now, and any one of them could be the upcoming Pixelbook 2018 edition.
