Once Chrome becomes stable on Android and it replaces the stock browser, I don't know why you'd still want ChromeOS on a separate device, or say even dual booting with Android. Would there really that huge of a security advantage to do that, instead of simply running Chrome from Android?
Because besides the security issue, I don't see any advantage at all for ChromeOS in that scenario. And even so, the convenience of having Chrome in Android most likely trumps whatever security advantage ChromeOS has over Chrome on Android.
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoYou could probably boot and shutdown ChromeOS 10 times in the time it takes Android to boot.
- TazeTSchnitzel 15y agoHeck, you could boot and shut down Windows 8 in the time it takes Android to boot. (I'm using the consumer preview just now, it's very fast)
- glhaynes 15y agoWhich is not very relevant on these devices that get rebooted maybe once or twice a month.
- nailer 15y agoTrue. The main issue with Android is sporadic latency that still affects GBP600-ish devices (the GC kicking in?), which ChromeOS manages to avoid.
