It is quite an attractive alternative given the fact that Google is promoting Android as an open and free operating system. For Adroid speaks another. For many companies, this is not a novelty, which is to be feared, because they often already have quite a large fleet of mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) that work was under the control of the operating system.

Remains, of course, there are a few problems to solve . Perhaps the most important of these is the fact that Android (and the applications that run on devices running on the software) is designed to work with devices with small displays. PCs have large displays, because “pecetowy” Android should be taken into account.

In the footsteps of HP and Acer are following another supplier of personal computing systems. It is expected that later this month, Asus and Samsung will enrich their offers for tablets / laptops (device type “ convertible “) which will be able to work under Windows or Android.
