According to information obtained by Computerworld from a Google spokesperson, there are two discontinued tablets, which are smaller than previously released Google tablets and come with removable keyboards, etc. I know it is something that is not. The new tablet was discontinued because it did not meet the quality standards set by Google, and the project team was dissolved. Most of the employees who were developing the new tablet were transferred to the laptop development department, and Google's spokesman said the company would concentrate development on the laptop in the future. In addition, 'tablet' in Google refers to thing without any keyboard, and 2in1 type Pixelbook series with removable keyboard is classified as notebook PC not 'tablet'.

According to information obtained by Business Insider from a Google spokesman, Google seems to not only withdraw the development of the new tablet under development, but also withdraw from the development business of its own tablet itself. According to the spokesman, “Chrome OS (which is the operating system of Pixelbook and Google's last tablet, Pixel Slate) is gaining in popularity on various form factors. We plan to work with them, but with our own hardware efforts, we will continue to focus on developing laptops for Chrome OS and supporting Pixel Slate. '

In addition, Google's spokesman Rick Osterlow said that the hardware development team of Google is concentrating on laptop development, and the Chrome OS development team continues to work on development of operating systems for laptop PCs and tablets, and will be released in 2018. About the support of Google's latest tablet Google Pixel Slate has continued to be announced on Twitter.

Hey, it's true ... Google's HARDWARE team will be focused on building laptops moving forward, but make no mistakes, Android & Chrome OS teams are 100% committed for the long-run on working with our partners on tablets for all segments of the market (consumer, enterprise, edu)
