Google won’t release any more tablets
Google apparently won’t release any more tablet devices, preferring to concentrate on their laptop sector.
The company confirmed to ComputerWorld that they have actually canceled two models that were in development, and have reassigned those working on them to other areas.
The last tablet Google released was the Pixel Slate last year, and it’s suggested that they may have found it a little difficult to compete with Apple (responsible for most worldwide tablet shipments) and Samsung, as opposed to the laptop arena where they can compete more comfortably.
Google will continue offering support and updates for the Pixel Slate until June 2024. They are also supposedly planning to release a laptop-oriented Pixelbook product towards the end of the year, as well as still releasing new models of its Pixel line of phones.
