Google may be getting ready to make some big changes to its laptop and tablet hardware, as a report from Android Authority suggests it’s planning to migrate Chrome OS to Android.
Google might be preparing to make big changes to its laptop and tablet hardware by making the software on its Chromebooks resemble what you’d find on a tablet. One report from Android Authority suggests that Google has a “multi-year project” in the works for migrating ChromeOS to Android, while a second one from the same outlet indicates Google may be planning a second Pixel tablet that comes with a foldable keyboard cover. That tracks with the moves Google has made in recent months.
Google also merged its Android and hardware teams, began testing desktop windowing for Android tablets, and is reportedly working to add extensions to the Android version of Chrome. Additionally, a source tells Android Authority that Google plans to ship Chromebooks running Android at some point. This desktop-friendly version of Android may also appear on the premium Pixel Laptop that Google is rumored to be working on.
