The Decisive Cloud Laptop?

Whereas Google Chrome laptop has not really sold as many units as was earlier expected after being launched into the market, it looks as if Google will continue supporting the Chrome laptop as an initial strategic move to coach online users on the numerous advantages of executing their apps plus storage wholly in the cloud. As a matter of fact, learning institutions in more than 40 states in the United States have already embraced Chrome Book. It is expected that the number of Chrome Books that will be sold to schools will exceed 20,000.00. The Chrome Book runs purely on Chrome OS.

Chrome Book Simplicity

The actual idea behind the creation of Chrome Book is to provide a modest browser-based PC which everybody can handle with ease. Virtually everybody is already conversant with using an internet browser. The Chrome Book browser is a kin smart phones in so many ways. For example, Chrome Book links automatically to accessible Wi-Fi networks. On the other hand, if Wi-Fi connections are not accessible, the device automatically switches to 3G mobile network. As such, it is expected that Chrome Book will be accessible for users on 4G networks. This in turn means that speeds of downloads when using mobile network could exceed 100Mb/s, something that most online users will appreciate.

Being Offline is still a hindrance

Whereas Chrome Book might have a myriad of benefits, possibly particularly in forthcoming context, it is important to point out that it still bears a number of restrictions. While it is true that Chrome Book users have the ability to replace a majority of Windows application alongside other programs with Google cloud-based products such as Google Docs, Gmail plus Google Apps as well as other apps which are easily accessible in Chrome Web Store, there are several offline apps which are today accessible from numerous online stores. Nevertheless, Google still has several miles to cover in respect to offline mode, particularly when likening other laptop PCs that mainly run on Windows operating system. With time, the Chrome Book laptop may grow to become one of the most commonly sorts after device for online computing, a service that has predominantly been dominated by smartphone devices such as Blackberry and iPhone.

Android OS versus Chrome OS

Both iPhone and Android smartphones have built their reputation thanks to the app stores which they make available to users. As such, users of these smartphones have been able to download and install all kind of apps to their phones with relative ease. It seems as if Chrome Book is heading on the same direction by offering users a wide range of apps that they can download and install in their laptops. While this is good news, the million dollar question is, “Why is Chrome Book not running Android OS?”

While the Chrome Book has shown potential as the preferred future online device, only time will tell if online users will ditch their current laptop PCs and opt for Chrome Book which promises to offer them with convenience and flexibility than they are already experiencing.
