We are just a few hours away from one of the last remaining anticipated launches of this year. Ahead of the Google Pixel 2 launch event in San Francisco at 9:30PM (IST), specifications of the upcoming Google Pixelbook have surfaced online.
Google is speculated to introduce a new Pixelbook, which is going to be a laptop/tablet hybrid device. While it has been rumored in the past, thanks to a listing on a website called Synnex, some of the specifications of the 2-in-1 device have now been confirmed. For starters, there will be three memory configurations available for the new Pixelbook.
As per the reseller inventory listing, the new Google Pixelbook will be equipped with an Intel Core i5 processor, and three storage configurations of 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. All the three models will be powered by the same processor, however, it is not clear if the RAM amount and clock speed will be different. In terms of further specifications, the Pixelbook could pack a 12.3-inch display. It is not known as to what resolution it will offer. However, based on the listing, the hybrid device appears smaller than previous generation of Chromebook Pixel. 
Price of the new Pixelbook is expected to be around $1,199 for the 128GB model (approximately Rs 78,300), and go up to $1,749 (approximately Rs 1,15,000) for the 512GB model. According to 9to5Google, the company will also be selling a dedicated stylus, similar to the Apple Pencil, called Pixelbook Pen, which will retail for $99 (approximately Rs 6,500). 
Now, while the rest of the information is pretty much in line with past rumors and revelations, the listing also hints at a mysterious product called ‘Google Clips’. Listed under ‘computer accessory’ category, it is unclear as to what this could be. Reports suggest that it could be an add-on accessory such as a 360-degree camera. Whether it is a surprise product or something that adds a new dimension to the Pixelbook experience is something we will know when the company officially announces its hardware for this year. The lineup includes the Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL phones, a refreshed Daydream View headset, along with a mini version of Google Home speaker.
