Why A $99 Laptop Alternative Powered By An Android Phone Is Making A Big Fuss Online?

We have been using smartphones for quite a while now but very few really understands that smartphone is more like portable computer than an evolved telephone. A smartphone almost has all the components of a typical computer just packed in a handheld device for convenience and portability. But how can we really harness the full potential of our smartphones as a computing device? There's no other way than using it in doing multitasks we normally do in personal computers. But smartphone's design and interface simply limits productivity. Andromium is a startup company who saw this opportunity to create an affordable hardware that will unleash Android smartphones' massive computing power, and they named it Superbook.

Andromium saw the market who seeks a hardware component to partner with smartphone's multicore computing ability and started a Kickstarter campaign initially aiming for just $50,000. Now the Kickstarter campaign fund grew to almost $3 million with over 16,000 backers. So why is Superbook so successful? Here are some of the reasons why this innovation is such a major player in the market.

Android based Operating System - Android ecosystem runs the majority of all mobile devices with millions of apps available in Google Playstore, one could argue that Android is the best operating system. Period.

PC-inspired Operating System - What we miss about PC is multitasking. Andromium OS is an android based operating system inspired with Windows interface, taskbar and start button. With Android productivity and Windows' familiar interface, users can enjoy the best of both worlds. 

Cheaper Laptop - Since the laptop utilizes the processor, ram, memory and other major components for its function from the smartphone, this will entail a cheaper cost for the over all components. This way the manufacturer can focus more in other hardware improvements like upgrading the quality of the build material, screen resolution, speaker, battery life, etc.

Cheaper Upgrade - Upgrading your smartphone also means upgrading your laptop specs. It's like hitting two birds with one stone.

With competition getting tougher and tougher, Superbook is a true testament that people with great ingenuity always has an opportunity for success.
