Thanks to the endless number of leaks of Pixel 3 where we got a pretty good idea about what kind of phone do Google unveil on its big launch day(Google Day) that is on October 9. However, we are little aware of what other product announcements scheduled for Google Day. And once we got to know about chrome books, the Tablet, which has been dubbed the Pixelbook Tablet, would be Google’s first homegrown tablet since the Pixel C from back in 2015.
Google is gearing up to launch a Chrome OS-powered PixelBook tablet codenamed “Nocture’ with alongside it also unveil its new lineup of Pixel smartphones along with the Pixel 3 XL. Ahead of the launch, some renders of the Google Pixelbook has got leaked. Based on the pictures, it seems Google’s upcoming tablet is actually more of a 2-in-1, except instead of using a complicated magnetic kickstand for attaching the keyboard like on the Pixel C, the Pixelbook Tablet may use a more traditional hinge with little tabs on either side for connecting its two separate parts. In addition to this, the company is introducing a fingerprint scanner at the side of the Pixelbook.
The new pixel book runs on the Chrome OS with the inclusion of a decently-sized touchpad, a Pixelbook Tablet seems like it would be a much better alternative to a traditional Windows laptop. The new Chromebook is expected to have a dedicated Google Assistant key so you can make voice requests without having to say a hotword like, “OK Google.”
While we look into an image it’s unclear if the Pixelbook Tablet would use Bluetooth or pogo pins to communicate with its keyboard. If it is believed that the device is actually one of Google’s rumoured Pixelbook 2 devices, which have been going by the codename “Nocturne,” it should have a physical connector for attaching the keyboard.
Coming to the price, the new chrome book can be more expensive can be under $1000 as it is expected to be powered by an Intel Kaby Lake-Y processor with 8GB of RAM. There could be a 13-inch display with a resolution of 2,400 x 1,600 pixels along with a backlit keyboard. The Google ‘Nocturne’ Chromebook could come with Sony IMX camera sensors. Rumours have it that the device will run Chrome OS and will also support Linux apps by default.
