Some articles have made this a bit unclear so wanted to clarify. And of course we will fully support Pixel Slate for the long-term as well.

Hey, it's true...Google's HARDWARE team will be solely focused on building laptops moving forward, but make no mistake, Android & Chrome OS teams are 100% committed for the long-run on working with our partners on tablets for all segments of the market (consumer, enterprise, edu)

Well cool, cause the Slate was a pretty awful tablet. A decent laptop, though. https://t.co/PJfEaPru4A

There’s a QA joke about the Pixel Slate here but honestly it’s piling on sohttps://t.co/TsnkLptAVn pic.twitter.com/D5tKh4YuFT
Google gives up on tablets. Not surprised. Android tablets were crap, and Google’s Chrome OS one was a disaster https://t.co/pPBLbQrbGq

Not only does this mean that Apple is the only company taking tablets seriously, it sets a new low for how long it takes Google to kill a project!https://t.co/qhIYOlC1pB

A couple thoughts on Google canceling its tablets:
— Justin Duino (@jaduino) June 20, 2019
-I liked the Slate, but only in laptop form
-Chrome OS is *not* ready for the tablet form factor
-2-in-1 Chromebooks will still compete with the iPad
-Google could come back to tablets once the OS is readyhttps://t.co/QEdhXZDMPp

.@Google will not be launching a sequel to last year’s Pixel Slate tablet, and instead focus its Chrome OS hardware efforts on traditional laptop devices like the #Pixelbook.https://t.co/uSsFiHbeT8

Google is done with Android tablets, which is probably for the best right now. https://t.co/gb5OQOP06P
