With Windows 8, Microsoft
wants one operating system that works well both on both desktop PCs and
tablets. Google, meanwhile, has chosen Android as its tablet and smartphone
interface while developing Chrome OS for laptops. So what happens when you put
Android on a laptop with a touchscreen, like with the Lenovo Ideapad A10?
Not Quite Android
Many smartphone makers
choose to put custom UI skins on Android. Usually, I’m not a fan of that. But
on laptops, it’s a necessity. Android isn’t made for laptops, so to make it
usable with this form factor, things need to change. Which is why Lenovo has
introduced things like a custom dock which mimics the Windows Launch Superbar.
Android also needs a
keyboard which steps away from the traditional Windows and Linux keyboards,
with special buttons for common Android features like apps drawer,
multi-tasking, etc.
to help us personalise
your reading experience.
But the downside of all
this is that these are, in the end, cosmetic changes—the limit of what a
company can do without moving beyond the core challenges Android faces as a
laptop OS.
Apps, Apps, Apps
The big problem for
Android is that its apps are not made for use in a laptop or desktop setting,
they are made with the intent of being touched. While some of them translate
decently to a keyboard+mouse interface, they still don’t match up to what you
would get on Windows. And this is especially found wanting in the quality of
the programs.
No office suite, for
example, matches up to what you get in Microsoft Office on Windows or Mac.
Kingsoft Office and others are decent, but the mobile versions are not as robust
as desktop alternatives. Try working with tables in the word processor or try a
spreadsheet file with macros and the limitations of mobile office suites come
to the fore.
Then there’s the complete
lack of support for professional applications. Adobe Photoshop Touch or any
other image-editing app on Android doesn’t hold a candle to their desktop
counterparts.
But perhaps the most
damaging thing for Android is that its mobile browsers aren’t as good as Chrome
or Firefox on desktop. By default, these mobile browsers are set to load pages
in mobile mode. With a few small hacks, you can set it so that the browser
always fetches the desktop version of any website, but what makes Chrome and
Firefox so great on desktop are the many extensions and plug-ins that make them
a flawless interface to the internet. Without those, we might as well be using
Internet Explorer, and that’s the same kind of limitation you feel when you use
Chrome Mobile or Firefox Mobile on Android.
Bad Multi-tasking, Great
Multimedia
The other thing that irks
the Android laptop user is the lack of true multi-tasking. While floating
windows have bridged the gap to an extent when compared to what you’d get on
Windows or Linux, it’sstill not as good as the desktop operating systems.
Where Android does score
is in its vast Play Store and all the goodies that brings. You have access to
the full Google Play Music library of music, the Play Movies library of films
and TV shows, and the Play Books library of novels and magazines. As a
multimedia device, Android outshines Windows quite easily.
There’s also the added
benefit of the Play Store and its collection of great casual games.
What Android Needs To Be A
Laptop OS
So the question is, what
would Android need to do to make it a great laptop operating system? The
biggest thing missing, in my opinion, is bringing great desktop apps to this OS
through the same Play Store. Just like you install Chrome for smartphones,
there should be an option to install Chrome Desktop for the same touchscreen
devices—this app, however, would need to be made for keyboard usage.
Apart from the apps front,
a focus on true multi-tasking would be great, but that seems more unlikely.
Instead, hardware manufacturers giving more RAM in Android laptops makes more
sense, as features like floating windows take the brunt of turning Android into
a desktop interface.
Finally, much like there
are homescreen replacements for smartphones, it would be great if there were
third-party apps or downloadable elements that customised your Android to be
used for laptops rather than tablets—i.e. turn the focus from touch-based input
to keyboard+mouse input.
As things stand today,
however, Android is a long way away from incorporating these features. As such,
it’s not yet ready to be a laptop operating system, so your choices are still
limited to Windows, Linux, Mac and Google’s other operating system, Chrome OS.
