Now it looks like Google is allegedly working on a new Chromebook model codenamed “Eve,” which appears to ship with Intel’s latest Kaby Lake processors, fingerprint sensor, and a dedicated Google Assistant button, according to several reports from the Chrome Unboxed website, which is closely monitoring the development of Chrome OS. The same source unveiled the fact that Google’s next Chromebook flagship could use a state-of-the-art touchscreen display with a 2K (2400×1600) resolution, though there’s no information on which hardware manufacturer Google will be collaborating to build its upcoming “Eve” flagship Chromebook.
