The Superbook – The Latest Superpower Laptop that can turn Heads!
In today’s times, a smartphone does an incredible job of a computer with its portability and convenience. But with its small screen size and mobile interface, some tasks cannot be accomplished.
Hence one would need a machine like the Superbook. This product was launched on the Kickstarter crowdfunding website – an attempt to address the problem, with a plug and play device that lets you use your Android smartphone like a laptop and give you the freedom of using just one computer. It is practically a “dumb terminal” that is connected to a smartphone.
From Motorola’s Atrix to Windows HP phone, there have been a number of companies that have tried but failed in the attempt to create a powerful portable machine. The dream of turning your smartphone into a laptop will never die now. The team behind Andromium OS is very keen on this new concept of the Superbook and wants Android smartphone to run a desktop-like operating system.
