Google is known for killing products, but is this a form of death for ChromeOS or a transformation? It will depend on if Google actually focuses on making a platform built for the regular laptop user or if it merely paints ChromeOS over with the bold yet all-too-tacky Material 3 Expressive aesthetic.

Google’s head of Android has said that the company plans to combine its mobile operating system with ChromeOS, the software that currently runs across Google’s Chromebook laptops.
