Google is planning a unique Pixel laptop which is to be released in Q3 2017. The company intends to release the laptop, which is identified by an informal nickname “Pixel 3”. It will be the first ever device to run on the Google’s new Android / Chrome OS, called as Andromeda. The project is internally known as ‘Bison’. Bison, then, would be the finish of years of effort by Google’s Pixel team along with Google’s Android and Chrome OS teams.The Bison will be a laptop which is ultra-thin, with a 12.3″ display. However, the ‘software giant’ also wants it to support the “tablet” mode. Google-watcher blog ‘Android Police’ states that Google’s proposed pricing is still competitive and that Bison is pegged to begin at $799. an It will be an Intel m3 or i5 Core processor with 128GB or 32GB of storage and 16GB or 8GB of RAM, which will be powering it. The Android Police say that this appears to indicate that there will be two models.
