A source toldAndroid Headlinesthat Google is working on a high-end laptop codenamed “Snowy.” The project was approved recently and the development has moved past the concept phase and Google has assigned a team to work on it.

Google has decided tomerge ChromeOS into Android, meaning future “Chromebooks” won’t be running ChromeOS but Android or whatever Google decides to name the new OS. This decision stems from Google wanting to establish a strong presence in the tablet market, which is currently dominated by Apple’s iPad product lineup.

There’s no information about the potential specifications or release date of the device. However, considering it will be a premium offering as the sources suggest, we expect an excellent build quality and display. Performance-wise, Google can reach out to Qualcomm forSnapdragon X Elitebut there’s also a possibility that it may develop a custom Tensor SoC. Again, it’s too early to say.
