Android laptop: Compal Qualcomm powered Smartbook

The worlds first Android laptop that runs everything awesomely well already!

Asus has an Android and Qualcomm powered smartbook as well, though Asus is hiding it at this point.

Acer, HP, all Nvidia Tegra based laptops, Texas Instruments based devices and Freescale based devices, all are launching with Android support.

In this video you can see how fast the current implementation of a browser in an Android laptop loads pages, while they still have optimizations to do, and I think they should try to get a full Google Chrome running on these, with support for an unlimited amount of tabs (though no need for all tabs to be active and heavy in the RAM memory).

With this laptop would you be able to put video editing programs such as cyberlink power director? i am new to this product. is it similar to windows as in watching dvds on it? and does it have flash?

@Mytouchftw playing DVDs sure. Flash 10 support yes. Editing video yes I think will work, but will require new cloud based video editing systems. For example upload a copy of the original video and have web based App with local caching on the laptop let you do all the editing you want and render or encode the video using a grid of servers in the cloud and instantly publish the video.

This is sick, it looks like the android mobile os thats been tweaked for a notebook. This will save people money on purchasing and there will be way more community support than you get with most os's today. I want one
