Despite the downfall of laptops due to touch screen tablets specifically the apple ipad, many believe that these tablets will substitute laptops in the near future, well at least google doesn’t.
“We do not see the computer going away anytime in the near future. We want to remain committed to the Chrome project, and believe that desktop computing will essentially move to the cloud,” says Sundar Pichai, senior vice-president for the Chrome product range.
Pichai, an Indian, leads the product management and innovation efforts for a suite of Google’s search and consumer products, including Chrome, Chrome OS, Google Toolbar and Google Pack.
“We would instead see a number of devices coming into the market, which is good for internet penetration and Google’s growth,People today live on the cloud and hence we have designed everything based on that. Though, Chromebooks are not for people who use very heavy applications. It’s for the lay consumer,” says Pichai.
He also added that if your Chrome notebook can open sites like gmail or facebook then the Chrome OS will work perfectly over the cloud too.
