		</div><p>Google has confirmed it is to stop making tablet computers to instead focus on building more of its own laptops.</p>
<p>The tech giant has responded following reports that suggested it would not release a new version of the Pixel Slate tablet it launched last year.</p>
<p><!--Ads3--></p>
<p>The company said it would continue to support the current Pixel Slate as well as third-party tablets that use Google’s Chrome OS software to power them, but would no longer focus on building its own.</p>
<p>Responding to the reports on Twitter, Google’s senior vice president of devices and services Rick Osterloh wrote: “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).”</p>
<p>The change of focus is likely to mean new versions of the company’s Pixelbook laptops are in development.</p>
<p>The firm has struggled to make an impact in the tablet market, an area that is still dominated by Apple’s iPad and Microsoft’s tablet/laptop hybrid device, the Surface.</p>

<p>Google also builds its own smartphones – the Pixel range – which run on Google’s Android operating system.</p>
<p>In a further statement, a Google spokeswoman said the company would continue to work with other tablet makers that wanted to use Chrome OS.</p>
<p>“Chrome OS has grown in popularity across a broad range of form factors and we’ll continue to work with our ecosystem of partners on laptops and tablets,” the company said.</p>
<p>“For Google’s first-party hardware efforts, we’ll be focusing on Chrome OS laptops and will continue to support Pixel Slate.”</p>
