Chromebook Retina monitor can be sold later this year

The laptop model running Chrome OS of Google is confirmed to be in development process to be put on shelves at the end of 2013.

According to the Wall Street Journal , Google launched a new product that not only competes with Microsoft Windows 8 products but also wants to compete with its own Android platform. Thanks to the competition between two "home chickens" , Google can boost its services like search engines or YouTube to users.

Tablets are factors that make the gap between laptops and mobile devices shrinking. Even, traditional laptop sales are also affected by the tablet. Therefore, a range of other manufacturers such as Dell, Lenovo or HP are gradually turning to the production of touch-screen devices based on Windows 8.

Meanwhile, Google's Chromebook has yet to produce much success in the market. According to analysts, the number of laptops running Google's Chrome OS being sold in the US is only about 100,000 in the fourth quarter of last year. It is inevitable that Google thinks of producing touch Chromebooks to compete with other competitors.

To produce a touchscreen laptop running Chrome OS, Google will have to attract developers to write applications for their products. These applications must be based on the HMTL5 web platform, which is widely used on current Chromebook models.

Previously, sources said the new Google product will be equipped with a touch screen resolution of up to 2,560 x 1,700 pixels, higher than the 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina is 2,560 x 1,600 pixels. The product has a code called Pixel. However, other information about prices, specific sale dates as well as touch-sensitive Chromebook manufacturers for Google has yet to be revealed.
