Google confirms new Chromebooks are still coming, even as Googlebooks loom large

TL;DR Google VP John Maletis says there’s a “super robust” pipeline of upcoming Chromebooks and Chromebook Plus devices through this year and into next year. The statement is the clearest confirmation yet that ChromeOS laptops are not going away immediately, despite Google’s newly announced Googlebooks initiative. However, Google still appears to be positioning Googlebooks as its long-term premium laptop strategy, leaving the future of Chromebooks beyond the near term uncertain.
