Google's new Chrome OS tablet is the latest device to appear in leaked images

Google Pixelbook


We already know a lot about what to expect at Google's October 9 hardware launch event next week – yet more Pixel 3 leaks showed up yesterday – and the latest unofficial images to hit the web show off the look of the Chrome OS tablet Google has got in the pipeline.
Believed to be called the Pixel Slate, the tablet is apparently going to take on the likes of the Surface Pro by offering both tablet and laptop forms (depending on whether you've got a clip-on keyboard attached). It's been a popular form factor in recent years and it makes sense that Google would want something in this particular niche.
Based on the images posted by MySmartPrice, we're looking at a thin tablet with a USB-C port (or two) and a fingerprint reader. It looks like the device will come in a dark blue color, and appears to have a software interface that varies slightly from the standard Chrome OS.

Based on some images obtained by 9to5Google, there's also going to be a new dark blue Pixelbook Pen to match the device, which we're presuming is going to go on sale for the same $99/£99 price that the current white edition retails for on the Google Store.
What we don't know yet are the specs that the Pixel Slate is going to offer – it might not have the high-end components of the PIxelbook, if Google decides to make this a cheaper proposition for buyers. Something we have heard on the grapevine is that the device might enable users to dual-boot Windows 10 and Chrome OS if needed.
Whatever the details, it seems a good bet the Pixel Slate, an official keyboard accessory, and a new Pixelbook Pen will break cover on October 9. Add to that the unveiling of two flagship phones, and it looks like being an event well worth keeping an eye on.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

Our favorite iOS apps for the iPhone and iPad in 2018

As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market.
