Google has faced challenges with its tablets for an extended period.
This issue extends beyond hardware concerns, encompassing software difficulties, and it is evident that Google remains significantly behind the market leader, the iPad.
Recent reports from Android Authority suggest that Google plans to transition Android to replace Chrome OS as its desktop operating system in the future.
In June, the search giant announced its intention to integrate components of Android’s technology into Chrome OS.
However, it appears the company is delving deeper into this integration.
Google is currently engaged in a multi-year initiative aimed at fully transforming Chrome OS into Android, intending to finally pose competition to the iPad.
Originally designed for digital cameras, Android has evolved to operate on smartphones, tablets, and various other platforms, and it has previously been implemented on laptops.
For instance, Lenovo's ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid is essentially an Android tablet with a Windows foundation, effectively functioning as an Android laptop.
HP and Dell have undertaken similar Android laptop projects over the years.
Now, Google is following suit.
Our source did not disclose which operating system would be used, although we did not anticipate it would be Chrome OS.
Following the report from Android Authority, we feel assured in stating that it will operate on Android.
How will this enhance the user experience?
With Google consolidating all of its engineers onto a singular platform, this could lead to quicker feature rollouts and an expanded availability of applications for Android across diverse form factors.
As is well-known, the current selection of Android applications on tablets is relatively limited.
This development may be what Google requires to finally challenge the iPad or, at the very least, achieve parity.
This project might not come to fruition until 2026 or later, though likely later.
