Google is reportedly working on a Chromebook X initiative.
Chromebooks that meet Google’s requirements will receive special branding and features.
It’s believed the first models as part of this program could launch before the end of the year.

Google has made an effort over the years to tout higher-end Chromebooks, offering Plus and Premium tags on some models. Now, it looks like the company is working on a new program for more capable Chromebooks.

9to5Google uncovered the existence of a so-called Chromebook X program. The outlet revealed that Chromebooks falling under this program would get Chromebook X branding on the hardware itself, as well as a special boot screen.
