Customers with a liking for Google Pixel devices should be pleased with the latest report from The Verge, as Google confirms to the news website it has more tablets and laptops planned for the near future.
The story follows a March 2019 Business Insider report claiming Google is actually cutting back on laptop and tablet efforts. According to BI, "roadmap cutbacks" have lead to the search giant shifting employees out from the division behind the Pixelbook and Pixel Slate, and as a result will probably "pare down" on hardware. Interestingly, Google is yet to deny the BI story, even in the aforementioned statement given to The Verge.
In further hardware-related Google news, the company's Cloud Next 2019 event had a session dubbed "Google Hardware for Business." As 9to5Google reports, the session suggests Google is, in the very least, interested in "a future device that helps the workforce “be productive on-the-go,"" even if it has no announcements "this week, but down the road."
Google usually reserves hardware announcements for October, so we might learn more as we get closer to the month.
