The big advantage of the Chromebook over Windows, Macs
- higherpurpose 12y agoToo bad Sundar Pichai intends to ruin that whole "advantage" (and also the security one) by introducing Android apps into ChromeOS, instead of creating a use case based UI (taskbar, Android apps within windows) for Android, like they have for TVs, cars, and wearables, and then use that as a more "full featured" OS (which Android already is compared to ChromeOS).
- tzakrajs 12y agoThere was no evidence presented to defend the authors claim. Things like this were prevalent: The lack of a "real" OS as the engine behind the Chrome browser is actually a good thing for me. My Chromebook runs Chrome faster, smoother, and without hiccups, better than my fast Macs and Windows PCs. I call bullshit on this, and he should be showing us some benchmarks or something to give this argument any legitimacy. Edit: I am not sure how to quote things here. So I made some attempts in this post to make the formatting obvious that the words after the colon are not mine.
