Though we’re far from the Pixelbook , Google is making headlines with new laptop news. With leaked information of a new program called ‘Chromebook X,’ the company is rebranding the high-end Chromebooks under the category.
For years, Chromebooks were mainly known as baseline computers, used a lot by students and those only looking to access the basics from a laptop: Portability, productivity apps, and web browsing. But Chromebooks have since gotten improved performance capabilities that make for more effective multitasking, opening the doors to premium Chromebooks.
Also: I found the ultimate power strip for conveniently fast charging - and it works with MacBooks.
According to speculations from 9to5Google , Chromebook X will distinguish the higher-end, more premium Chromebooks from the lot with an exclusive set of standards of its own, only some of which are known.

It’s presumed Google will require a certain amount of RAM, a high-end display on the laptop, and a high-quality camera for video calls, which will be one of the critical focuses of Chromebook X. Within ChromeOS, Google will incorporate Live Caption to video calls and a built-in portrait blur effect, as well as voice isolation during video calls.
