However, now Chrome is making its way up to the bigger computer sellers like Hewlett-Packard.<\/p>\n
The Chrome OS started with Samsung and Acer and eventually Lenovo. Now HP has decided that the OS looks promising enough to leap aboard the Chromebook train as well. HP is calling this their most recent move towards a \u201cmulti-OS approach.\u201d<\/p>\n
“Google’s Chrome OS is showing great appeal to a growing customer base,” said Kevin Frost, the man in charge of the consumer portion of HP\u2019s computer department. “With HP’s Chromebook, customers can get the best of the Google experience on a full-sized laptop, all backed up by our service and brand.”<\/p>\n
The flagship computer for Google\u2019s OS, the Pavilion 14, is nothing special aside from its 14 inch display. The Chrome OS installed on it, however, runs Web apps, which means people will not notice much of a difference between its interface and that of a Windows-based browser. Some applications such as Skype and iTunes won\u2019t work on this OS at all.<\/p>\n
But that\u2019s not the beauty of the Chromebook. What makes this computer intriguing is the fact that this computer is a fast, easy gateway to a \u201cseamless Google experience\u201d. All of the applications and websites Google owns \u2013 YouTube included \u2013 work together in a way that has never been seen before to give you the best Google-user experience available.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re in the market for a second computer, then Chrome OS may be something you\u2019re interested in. Remember, though, that Chrome\u2019s OS is only available on machines that have it preinstalled, so you\u2019ll need to buy the entire computer to access it.<\/p>\n
