Google confirms its Pixelbook group has new laptops and tablets inbound [theverge.com]

Last month, Business Insider [businessinsider.in] reported that Google might be shifting employees out of the laptop and tablet division that brought us the premium, pricey Pixelbook [theverge.com] and Pixel Slate [theverge.com], citing "roadmap cutbacks." But though Google originally declined to comment, the company now tells The Verge that its hardware division actually does have new laptops and tablets on the way.

While Google wouldn't talk details or timing, it did drop a big hint earlier today — as 9to5Google reports [9to5google.com], the company led a session at its Cloud Next 2019 conference dubbed "Introducing Google Hardware for Business, [withgoogle.com]" where it suggested that a new device might help on-the-go employees in ways that the Pixelbook and Pixel Slate couldn't quite accomplish.
