This is interesting. I’ve been wanting to move to Linux forever with my work machine. I can’t due to a critical piece of software not working. It does work on android though. I wonder if I’ll need able to install this on another thinkpad.
What software is that? A lot of software works on Wine, which is very, very good these days. Unfortunately, its compatibility with USB devices is still not good, so if your software requires that, yeah, you’re probably SOL.
It’s okay for enthusiasts, but when you take this to people who handle finance and accounting, the first thing that they ask is ‘where is excel?’ It would be a failure, if there is no Microsoft Excel, in the corporate world.
Oracle couldn’t force their employees to use open office, eventually moving to the Microsoft office.
I know this comment will be down voted but that’s the reality.
I’m thinking they mean for these systems to be used as niche kiosk machines but I could be wrong.
Edit: I work in IT and I said what I said, these things are for a niche market and aren’t going to be successful for mass adoption. Y’all can down vote me all ya want but nobody wants an Android desktop.
It’s Lenovo. Stupid click bait titles.
Lenovo has the green light to see a portfolio of new enterprise-focused devices powered by Esper Foundation – a custom Android operating system – and bundled with a complementary mobile device management (MDM) platform.
Intresting idea for sure. I don’t really see this working out on “normal” laptops and desktops, for the simple fact that mouse and keyboard support on Android Apps is usually terrible. But for 2 in 1 devices that are used a lot in tablet mode this could be great. But then again ChromeOS offers exactly that.
LOL at its chances of actually pulling that off
