The major PC manufacturers are hard at work creating new Chromebook, but it also speaks of low cost solutions based on the new Intel Atom processors and Android
We have repeatedly talked about the lack of success collected from the Chromebook and we dealt with on several occasions also the Chrome OS operating system that is installed on these solutions, but the lack of interest of the public does not seem to discourage producers. In fact,Acer, Asus, HP and Samsung are working on new Chromebook demonstrating a sense of believing in this project.
At the moment Acer and Samsung have already introduced solutions Chromebook, while Asus and HP are new entries in this niche industry. There is no time for technical details on the various Chromebook under development with the exception of the model Acer: will be equipped with 11.6-inch Retina Display and will be proposed as a solution for high-end competition with theChromebook Pixel .
Acer, Asus and HP, however, would be to work on other products, totally innovative, they speak of Androidbooks, then solutions whose size could be clamshell, convertible or otherwise, and in which it would be installed as the operating system Android. For these products, the cost would be around $ 200 and will be installed in them the new Intel Atom Low Cost. The decision to install Android and Windows 8 seems to have been dictated by reasons related to the cost of Microsoft licenses as described in this interview by Dadi Perlmutter - Intel Chief Product Officer.
There could therefore be a market populated by low-cost products to replace the netbook?Perhaps, even if the potential of Android compared to the first examples of Linux-based netbooks are far higher. Furthermore, since the Android you might already have access to a number of apps and services already exploited on a smartphone, and tablet phatblet.
