Google is seeking to make a major shift in its operating systems strategy, as it plans for the Android operating system to replace ChromeOS on desktop computers and laptops, according to a report published by the “Android Authority” website.
This step aims to enhance competition with iPad devices, which are widely popular in the markets.
It is expected that this project will contribute to unifying efforts among the engineering teams at Google, which will facilitate the launch of new features more quickly, and provide greater support for Android applications on various devices.
Google is currently working on developing a new Pixel series laptop, and it is likely to run on the Android system instead of ChromeOS. Although the details about the operating system have not been officially disclosed by the sources, the move towards Android seems the closest.
By moving to the Android system, Google hopes to provide a unified and seamless experience across various devices, which may increase the speed of launching new features, and provide a better application experience on laptops and tablets.
Android tablets suffer from a lack of application support compared to iPads, so this step may be an attempt by Google to narrow the gap and achieve a higher level of competition.
