Search engine Google are in planning to set up a laboratory in Taiwan for developing computers operating on its Chrome operating system (OS) in collaboration with local ODMOEM-based PC maker, according to Sundar Pichai company`s senior vice president for Chrome business operation.
Pichai said in a statement on the sideline at the computer show Taipei Computex 2011, which held from May 31 to June 4. He worried that Taiwan`s plentiful experience and improvement in building OEM/ODM PC is behind of his firm`s choice to open the laboratory in Taiwan.
Google will utilize the laboratory as the focus to offer support to OEM/ODM PC producers within the Asia-Pacific region. The Chromebook-codenamed computer, if they are tablet, desktop or laptop, will run completely on ChromeOS. Pichai worried that users will have a totally new experience with Chromebook.
He also touted that performance of Chromebook will progress with time going as the ChromeOS will continuously update by itself from the Internet at each activate. He added that PCs on additional operating systems generally slow down exponentially with new software application added over a phase of time.
Chrome OS, Pichai talks, boots up a PC in 8 seconds and immediately wakes up a PC from hibernation mode. Hence, Google has come into alliance with Samsung and Acer on Chromebook project. As Pichai projected the venture will draft more associates in Taiwan once the laboratory is open. Samsung and Acer will launch netbooks on Chromebook-based in June.
Since its opening not long time, Google`s Chromebook has raised up queries why the corporation chooses laptop above tablet computer as its primary platform when people think Google Android is already the leading OS behind non-Apple tablet smartphones and PCs.
