Google Pixelbook 2
Although there has been no solid news about a new laptop from Google, the tech giant is expected to launch a new Pixelbook 2 second generation on October 9. That being said, the new Pixelbook 2 is likely to come with a slight hardware upgrade and a revamped design. There have also been talks about a 4K screen on the new Pixelbook. However, it is still not sure whether or not Google will launch the Pixelbook 2 in the upcoming event.
3rd Generation Chromecast
A new third-generation Chromecast might also be in the pipeline for the upcoming event. Given that the Chromecast hasn’t received a new advanced version for a few years, it’s entirely possible that Google might unveil the third generation Chromecast. As per a new image posted by a Redditor, the new Chromecast is rumoured to come with a new design. Still, there have been no words about any upgraded internal specs.
