ChromeOS could also reach the tablet format

If there is an operating system that is trying to rise as king in the classroom, it is ChromeOS. For some years now, Google's commitment to a desktop operating system that can be an economical solution for many areas of our lives. In addition, with the option of being able to use Android applications in the latest models, the offer and the possibilities of these devices have increased in every way. However, the always chosen form factor to install this OS has been laptops or desktops. And yet on Twitter the image of an Acer tablet with ChromeOS has appeared installed.

The sighting has been during the BETT fair in London and its main objective is to present new solutions for the classrooms of the future. And hence Acer has decided to put the operating system in a format that is already very popular in the industry and that, in addition, it is much more comfortable for the little ones to use.

Acer tablet with ChromeOS

Thanks to Twitter user Alister payne, the first image of the invention could be seen. Also, to this day the image has been deleted from the account. And is that Acer has not made any official announcement of the device and we do not know technical specifications of the equipment. Will have Fuchsia something to do in this sense and be focused on the educational field?

On the other hand we wonder whether to launch a tablets with ChromeOS —which is also compatible with Android apps— is a viable alternative and if it would be of interest to the target audience. Of course we have not talked about prices at any time, but perhaps Microsoft's vision and its alternatives for education with Windows 10 S seem to make more sense. And more considering that laptop prices would start below $ 200.
