In addition to new Pixel phones, Google will be launching an all-new Pixel-branded Chromebook this fall. A “Pixel 3” laptop codenamed “Bison” was tipped last year, and the new Chromebook may be a derivative of that project: the device supposedly featured a 12.3″ screen, Wacom stylus, and convertible mode. Google is also releasing a miniaturized version of Google Home to compete with the Amazon Echo Dot.



We know that Bison was intended as a serious competitor to Apple’s MacBook and Microsoft’s Surface Pro, with a 12.3″ screen, 32 or 128GB of storage, 8 or 16GB of RAM, and an optional Wacom stylus that would be sold separately. Google intended for Bison to be under 10mm thick, and feature a “tablet” mode. We guessed at the time this would be similar in form to the ASUS Chromebook Flip line of laptops, allowing the screen to be rotated a full 360-degrees, making it a true “convertible.” We’re still not sure what exactly it means.
