When one thinks of a notebook, the last thing that comes to mind is that it is based on Android. However, this perception may change as Lenovo, the world leader in sales of computers, introduced a laptop based on this operating system: the IdeaPad A10.
imposed world where Internet-connected devices, sounds illogical-users having an Android based smartphone as primary-use a desktop computer with a different operating system, be it Windows or Mac OS. And before the global PC sales decline , who were overwhelmed this year by the tablets, the doors opened for notebooks based mobile systems such as Android.
Lenovoreacted quickly understood this and introducing the IdeaPad class=”c5″> , their first full-sized notebook based on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean). This is an entry-level ultraportable and dual-use (tablet-notebook) whose final price of USD $ 250 is below many models based on Windows.
Although not fully convertible, because the screen can not be separated entirely from the keyboard, his innovations are interesting and include a touch screen that receives commands folding up to 10 fingers, ‘stand mode’, with which the display can rotated 300 degrees to become a tablet, and ‘laptop mode’ with a custom interface that contains an application launcher, a toolbar and a status bar for quick access and desktop notifications. It also comes with a file manager to locate and manage documents, music and videos.
Under the hoodappears Rockchip processor quad-core Cortex A-9 to 1.6Ghz, 2GB of RAM, a 32GB internal memory microSD and a battery that, according to the manufacturer-promises up to nine hours of continuous video playback .
still remember the time when Android based tablets were trying to make their way with models like the Samsung Galaxy Tab class=”c5″> that moved the mobile experience Galaxy S phone to a format size notebook. It was September 2010 and manufacturers seeking the form of racing you to the Apple iPad. Today, the market has matured and Android-based tablets to iPad in worldwide sales, that as a result of huge promotional effort from Samsung, HP and Lenovo.
shift corresponds today to the Android-based laptops. However, are we ready for Android notebooks? I think so, given the number of users worldwide that seek to replicate the mobile experience with a team more robust, economical and functional to accept apps and games downloaded from Google Play and as well as compatible with smartphones and tablets.
I think that within a couple of years, the major brands have a line of portable Android. That does not mean that the traditional laptop to become obsolete, just live a similar transition when smartphones were transformed into tablets. So it makes sense that the tablets are transformed into notebooks.
experience, Lenovo has the power to change the mobile experience beyond smartphones and tablets. The bad news is that the company has not announced plans to market the IdeaPad A10 in America and decided to ship it to Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific.
strange decision in the case of a notebook entry level budget whose sales may rise in emerging countries of the region, where other laptops are offered as class=”c5″> based on Android (U $ 479), and the Samsung Chromebook (U.S. $ 248) which, although it comes with Android but Chrome OS-is best selling laptop on Amazon these days .
