Why Would Google make an Android-Powered Laptop?

Lately, we've heard all kinds of rumors regarding Google working on an Android-powered laptop. Now this makes little sense to most Google fans because Google already has a desktop Operating System. That is Chrome OS. While it's not all that productive, it is what it was meant to be. A simple, light-weight, cloud-based operating system. So why do we need Android laptops?


As we all know, Android is very popular. In fact that might be an understatement. Chrome OS is not-so-popular. So if Google really wants to take over the laptop/PC market, they need to introduce something that can replace users Windows and Mac's. At this point, Chrome OS cannot do that. Mostly because there are things you just can't do in Chrome OS that you can on a Windows or Mac laptop.

We're not sure why or if Google is working on Android notebooks. Right now it's still a rumor. But if it is true, we'll be finding out rather soon. Personally, I hope they don't give up on Chrome OS and just keep working on it to make it even better. But I wouldn't mind seeing Android apps work on Chrome OS. Who's with me?
