Google is about to unveil the Chromebook 12.85-inch model

Chinese news site China Times has revealed that Google will unveil its own brand of Chromebook laptop later this year.

The source said the product has a 12.85-inch screen, with touch features included.

Earlier, the "search giant" launched its own branded smartphones and tablets, so having a 'Google' Chromebook is essential for the company to diversify its device portfolio. .

According to China Times, unlike the Nexus 4 smartphone or Nexus 7 tablet, Google will not hire an established OEM partner to produce a new Chromebook model.

Instead, they took the supply of touch screens from Wintek and hired Taiwan's Compal Electronics to assemble.
