Are you prepared for portable Android?

Yesterday was the day when Google introduced its new devices. This appointment did not expect much more than the two rumored Nexus and a new Chrome, but in the end was an unexpected guest, Google Pixel C unit that caught our eye by a variety of small details.

This device is a convertible tablet laptop in the purest Surface style, directly aimed at users who choose productivity. The first thing that strikes us is that this new tablet is 100% Google unit without external partner. Not a Nexus, but as if it were, since Google continues to develop software, hardware while another department is responsible for the big G.

Google Pixel C: Not a Nexus, but as if it were

This department is none other than the team that until recently was engaged in the production of Pixel Chromebook Chrome OS computers with greater range than we can find. Could Google put their efforts in turning Android into an operating system to replace the Chrome OS?

Chrome OS is an operating system designed for direct access to Internet. The concept itself is fine, but the main problem is that Chrome OS requirements for this system is very low due to the slow growth experienced by the network. In recent movements Google has noticed that is increasing interest in selling hardware, and in this context, Android is far more lucrative than ChromeOS.

This does not mean that Google is thinking about exit Chrome OS, since the system works very well in its core markets, but to correct the error in order to develop high-end equipment for a segment where there are so many benefits. Similarly, investing itself as a manufacturer, eliminating the dependence on third-party companies to create their own products, as with the Nexus brand.

Android is the height of Pixel C?

Android is a much more promising environment for Pixel team. With the advent of Marshmallow, Android an increasingly mature operating system, so a high-end product oriented productivity is more reasonable. Google Pixel C seems promising team, but we have no doubt Android will rise this device.

Android has always been one step behind Apple on tablets, but with material design seems to have given batteries. More and more applications that utilize Android interface for tablets exist, but the views claims of Pixel C, knows us this little

Google Pixel C is not only a tablet but comes to market with a keyboard designed to transform it into a laptop, so the fight is not only against the iPad, but the products that Microsoft Surface, which include Windows 10, the latest operating system from Microsoft, so the current version of Android is under their competition for application catalog.

Still, Google has come quite far in this section Work and Android for Android for the classroom, and even Microsoft's own Office suite for Android amplifier catalog of productivity tools.

Laptop Android is not ready yet, but it should be your future

A remarkable point where the tablet of Microsoft shines is in the convergence of the operating system. When using the tablet as a tablet Microsoft, we have an interface for tablets, whereas when you connect the keyboard interface is automatically like on a desktop computer.

In this sense, Android is not alone, as the desktop interface for iPad IOS pro is still very green. The problem with Google this time is in pixel C has no desktop mode, while Apple already has a product available to the public. Furthermore, the solution may be less complicated than it seems. Thanks to the open nature of Android development team there as Remix OS, an alternate version of Android designed to act as a desktop system, where you can learn a lot, or even easier yet, register them directly.

Google Pixel C does not seem destined to be the best seller that Google wants to have, but it seems to be the platform that they can fine-tune all software failures. If Google does homework, it is possible that the next Google I / O can find a new version of Android focused on these tablets with computer skills.
