Rick Osterloh, who leads Google’s hardware business, confirmed as much on Twitter on Thursday afternoon.\n\n[Media: https://twitter.com/rosterloh/status/1141791243128590336]\n\nGoogle went so far as to reveal that it has axed two in-development tablet products, moving the employees who had been working on them to other areas of the company. (Most have apparently joined the Pixelbook team.) The tablets were both smaller in size than the Pixel Slate and were planned for release “sometime after 2019.” But disappointing quality assurance testing results led Google to completely abandon both devices. Google informed employees of its decision on Wednesday. \n\nThe Pixel Slate received largely mediocre reviews when it went on sale last year. Google earned praise for the device’s hardware design, but the software felt unfinished — Chrome OS has yet to really feel at home on a tablet — and lower-priced versions of the Slate suffered from extremely sluggish performance and lag. It’s rare to see an MKBHD review that’s this bruising:\n\n[Media: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOh6d_r63Bw]\n\nGoogle has resolved some of those issues with updates, but more than anything else, the company might have realized that taking on Apple’s iPad was going to be a losing battle. The iPad is offered at multiple price points, has an enormous selection of apps, and is set to gain productivity enhancements this fall with the rollout of iPadOS. And the Slate was never going to best Microsoft’s Surface for consumers really seeking a full-blown desktop PC experience on a tablet.\n\nThe Pixelbook, meanwhile, has been met with much better feedback from customers since its release in 2017 owing to its fantastic keyboard, nice screen, lightweight design, and unique style. And it’s now clear that a new model is on the way. A Google spokesperson told Computer World, which also reported on this news, that it’s “very likely” a Pixelbook 2 will see release before the end of 2019. \n\nAt the same time, Osterloh is trying to underline that Google has every intention of improving Chrome OS on tablet devices — since several companies including Acer and HP have already released products in that form factor. But Google itself throwing in the towel isn’t a great vote of confidence. \n"}</script><link rel="preload" as="image"

laptop devices like the Pixelbook. “For Google’s first-party hardware efforts, we’ll be focusing on Chrome OS laptops and will continue to support Pixel Slate,” a spokesperson told <em>Business Insider</em>. </p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160

dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">Translation: you can expect the Slate to continue to receive software and security updates for several years to come — but there won’t be a Pixel Slate 2. Rick Osterloh, who leads Google’s hardware business, confirmed as much on Twitter on Thursday afternoon.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component clear-both block"><div class="duet--media--embed min-h-[240px] mb-20 w-full md:max-w-[460px]"></div></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">Google went so far as to reveal that it has axed two in-development tablet products, moving the employees who had been working on them to other areas of the company. (Most have apparently joined the Pixelbook team.) The tablets were both smaller in size than the Pixel Slate and were planned for release “sometime after 2019.” But disappointing quality assurance testing results led Google to completely abandon both devices. Google informed employees of its decision on Wednesday. </p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component clear-both block"><div class="duet--recirculation--related-list my-40"><h3 class="mb-16 font-polysans-mono text-14 font-medium leading-120 -tracking-1 text-blurple after:pl-8 after:content-['/']">Related</h3><ul class="list-disc pl-18 font-polysans text-16 font-medium leading-110 marker:text-franklin"><li class="mb-16 pl-12"><a class="hover:shadow-underline-black" href="/2018/11/27/18113447/google-pixel-slate-review-tablet-chrome-os-android-chromebook-slapdash">Google Pixel Slate review: slapdash</a></li></ul></div></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">The Pixel Slate received largely mediocre reviews when it went on sale last year. Google earned praise for the device’s hardware design, but the software felt unfinished — Chrome OS has yet to really feel at home on a tablet — and lower-priced versions of the Slate suffered from extremely sluggish performance and lag. It’s rare to see an MKBHD review that’s this bruising:</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component clear-both block"><div class="duet--media--embed min-h-[220px] mb-20 w-full"></div></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">Google has resolved some of those issues with updates, but more than anything else, the company might have realized that taking on Apple’s iPad was going to be a losing battle. The iPad is offered at multiple price points, has an enormous selection of apps, and is set to gain productivity enhancements this fall with the rollout of iPadOS. And the Slate was never going to best Microsoft’s Surface for consumers really seeking a full-blown desktop PC experience on a tablet.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">The Pixelbook, meanwhile, has been met with much better feedback from customers since its release in 2017 owing to its fantastic keyboard, nice screen, lightweight design, and unique style. And it’s now clear that a new model is on the way. A Google spokesperson told <em>Computer World</em>, which also reported on this news, that it’s “very likely” a Pixelbook 2 will see release before the end of 2019. </p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">At the same time, Osterloh is trying to underline that Google has every intention of improving Chrome OS on tablet devices — since several companies including Acer and HP have already released products in that form factor. But Google itself throwing in the towel isn’t a great vote of confidence. </p></div></div><div class="mb-40 mt-30"><button class="duet--article--comments-button group inline-flex h-40 w-full
