What to expect

Since Google is drawing a parallel between its Pixel Laptop and some of the top offerings in the market, we can expect it to be a premium offering.

Considering today's industry standard, it should have a minimum of 16GB RAM and a terabyte of SSD. Initially, there was confusion about whether the laptop would boot on Windows or Chrome OS. However, AndroidHeadlines later updated their piece saying it would come with Android instead. Additionally, Google's two operating systems — Android and Chrome OS are apparently being merged. So there's that.
