Is Fuchsia meant only for embedded devices (smart displays, smartphones, etc) or will there be laptop releases akin to Chromebooks?

If you are interested in running Fuchsia on a laptop or desktop device, you probably want to follow the Workstation product effort:

- https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src/contribute/governance/rfcs/0...

And as mentioned elsewhere, you can already build Fuchsia for an Intel NUC, with keyboard, mouse, ethernet and external screen support: https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src/development/hardware/intel_n...

>We’ve been tracking the development of Fuchsia since 2016, starting from an ambitious experimental UI, to running on Google’s many internal testing devices for Fuchsia, ranging the full gamut of Google’s smart home and Chromebook lineup.

Smart phones are definitely general purpose computers
