Google Cancels Pixelbook Laptop Plan as Part of Cost-Cutting Efforts

Google is exiting the laptop market, reportedly canceling the next pixelbook and shifting the team to other verticals.

According to reports, the laptop was supposed to be released next year, but the project was removed as part of recent cost-cutting efforts at Google.

According to the report, members of the team have been relocated inside the corporation.

The Pixelbook Go will be Google’s last laptop. Google’s hardware offerings currently include the Pixel phone series. Google is most likely working on a Pixel foldable smartphone as well as a new Android Pro tablet. The company has also unveiled a Pixel Watch, which is expected to come alongside the Pixel 7 series smartphones on October 6. The Pixel 7 and 7 Pro were first teased at Google’s I/O developer conference in May.

Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet and Google, has announced a hiring freeze and the elimination of various initiatives throughout the company.

Pichai in July said in a statement that in certain circumstances, this entails consolidating investments and streamlining processes. In other circumstances, this entails halting development and reallocating resources to higher priority areas.

The Pixelbook team and the Pixelbook have become victims of this consolidation and redeployment.

According to a report, Google does not reveal future product plans or personnel details; however, they are committed to developing and supporting a portfolio of Google products that are innovative and useful to its users.
