Consumers preparing to purchase a new laptop may want to wait a bit longer as a formidable Chrome OS device is on its way to the market. At the Team Work 2015 event, Renee Niemi of Google confirmed that the Chromebook Pixel will see a successor. Niemi, who works on the productivity teams for Android and Chrome, noted that the new Chromebook Pixel would launch soon. She did clarify that a limited amount of units will be produced as it is a proof of concept. Employees within the company and developers working with Google receive about 85% of units produced.
Here is the quote from Niemi:
“We do have a new Pixel coming out and it will be coming out soon. We will be selling it but I just have to set your expectations: this is a development platform. This is really a proof of concept. We don’t make very many of these — we really don’t. And [...] our developers and our Googlers consume 85% of what we produce. But yet, we do have a new Pixel coming out.”
Among the specifications expected to be included with the Chromebook Pixel successor is a 12.85-inch display (with at least 2560×1700 resolution) and reversible Type-C USB ports. The processor inside is currently unknown; however, chances are that it ends up being some form of Intel Broadwell. And, depending upon the actual release date, Intel Skylake could be used.
