 I'm with Google, based here out of Singapore. And I'm going to talk a little bit about a couple big topics. One, Chromebooks, Chrome OS. Two, what is Chromebooks and what is Chrome OS? And then three, a big development where we're bringing the best of Android to Chrome. I've got a site up here. If you turn up a little bit. Yeah. I've got a site up here. If anyone has any questions, you can go to this site at the top, load it up on your phone, laptop, fire off any questions. Then we can do a rapid fire at the end here. OK. So what are Chromebooks? Chromebooks are basically Google's productivity operating system. They're designed with a few key principles here. Speed, simplicity, security, and shareability. What I've got up here on stage, I've got three different Chromebooks. I've got one made by HP. This just came out. Super cool. All of us love it at work. We also have the Chromebook Pixel made by Google. This is the Pixel 2, also a great device. And number three, I've got the Acer R11. This guy just came out about a month ago. And it fully supports Android and the latest Chrome. Furthermore, it's super cool, because that's a convertible. You flip into a tablet. OK. So what I'm going to run through here is pretty rapid fire topics. But first off, just like to get an idea. How many people are familiar with Chrome OS operating system? See you raise your hands. OK. Nice. How many people have actually used a Chromebook yourself? Anybody? OK. Cool. How many people here are app developers? Chrome, web, Android, any of the above? OK, very cool. All right. So I'm just going to run through a couple of quick topics here. First off, what does Chrome look like? OK, let's just jump straight to a demo, because that's obviously more fun here. So what I'm going to show is live. And I've got some sound on this one. So if you can see this page. OK. Actually, it's over here. Yeah. Thanks. Yeah, no problem. So what you see here is a Chrome web page. Anybody heard of Chrome AI Experiments? It's an awesome website where you can build HTML5 apps that tap into all the cool stuff with AI. I'm going to do a quick demo here, some funky music. Ready to rock image recognition with me. Take a picture, and they'll tell you what I see. All right. So what we're going to do is we're going to take a photo. On a Chromebook, this is a web page, right? Waiting for you. I am ready. Here we go. I'm on it. All right. I think audience is what we've got. Not bad. Could be sport venue, but maybe not. Maybe, maybe not. OK, what else? Cool. Yeah, let's do one more. What do you guys want? Laptops? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on in. Looks like room to me, to me. I'm seeing technology, probably. Yeah, yeah, a lot of tech. Turn it on. All right, there we go. All right. We could do that all day, but uh. This is, this is, yeah. Don't stop. Yeah, we're going to stop. It's the problem with AI. It's uh, they know. All right. Cool, so, very cool. So check it out. Do a search of Chrome AI experiments. There's a bunch of cool stuff up there. That's one of many cool ones. OK, so back to sleds. OK, so what we're doing here is, and what you've seen is again, a Chromebook with the Chrome browser doing all sorts of very cool HDMI, HTML5 Chrome things. Chromebooks, just a quick run through. Chromebooks are actually huge in the US. We're selling in the US every day about 30,000 new Chromebooks each and every day activated. 58% of the devices actually sold in US schools last year were Chromebooks. So there's a lot of interesting things happening there. And we're also seeing international growth. Actually, a few days ago, Chromebooks are now the best-selling devices in Sweden. As for Singapore, a quick plug here. Last week, Chromebooks were featured on the cover of The Business Times. Check it out. Just came out March 6. But Chromebooks have been shortlisted from several vendors here for some Singapore government projects. So that's pretty cool. OK, so just a couple quick milestones. 2016 Chromebooks were the best-selling, second most popular operating system in the US, a lot of big growth, a lot of devices, 800,000 sold annually. Here's a big run through of just organizations that are actually using Chromebooks in the enterprise. A lot of logos here. Some you might recognize, Netflix, Charity Water, Pinterest, a lot of good things. Here at Google, we love Chromebooks. A lot of us are on them. OK, so let's just jump to this topic here. So Chrome OS. So good open-source crowd here. Does anyone know here? Can anyone tell me the name of the open-source effort associated with Chrome OS? Exactly, Chrome OS. Nice, nice. And just like the Chrome browser, you have Chromium Browser. We have a similar effort with Chromium OS. What is Chromium OS? Basically, it's supported by the open-source community. It runs on x86 hardware, AMD hardware, AMD64, as well as ARM chips. It's super cool. You want to check it out? You can also run on your own architectures if you want to really get down and dirty. And it ships with its own optimizations. It brings some of the best features of Chrome. I'll get into one detail here later. How is it different? Chrome and Chromium and Chrome OS are a little bit different in terms of security and other features which I'll get into. What's the difference? So Chrome OS is actually the Google product that OEM ship. So Chrome OS is on this device. It's made by an OEM Acer. It's made by this device. Made by Google. It's made by this device. Made by HP. Chrome OS actually provides auto updates, optimized hardware. There's some chips in here that are really locked down in terms of security, antivirus, et cetera. Chromium OS is our open-source counterpart. It doesn't have all the features in terms of auto updates and optimized hardware. But it does have all the code available for developers to download and modify. You can download your own builds, hack around with it. Anyone can check it out. And again, worse on all sorts of fun hardware. Quick detail here in terms of one way that Chromium OS benefits from Chrome OS is our fast boot. On the left, you see how typically most OSes load. I'm sure if you have servers, laptops, whatever, every time you turn on your computer, CPU's got to initialize. You've got hardware that's got to initialize. In your video, then a splash screen. Then it might jump back up to a boot loader. Then your kernel's got to fire up. Maybe another splash screen, some random stuff. Maybe a login, invisible apps. Then your browser. Then your antivirus fires up before you can get on the web. With Chrome OS, the vision was, hey, let's just build something for the web that just instantly loads and boots, right? So on the right, what you have in Chromium OS as well as Chrome OS, much simplified concept. The device initializes. Kernel loads. Hardware initializes. Boom, you're at login. Boom, you're on a browser. So it's very quick. All devices boot within seven seconds, which is fun. Chrome OS ecosystem. So you see a couple gadgets here. Furthermore, we have a booth downstairs. If you want to check it out, I've got three, four of these acers. If you want to check it out, we've got Android devices, et cetera. You can play around. But we have different types of devices. We have laptops, clamshells, like you see here. We've got devices that are especially built for kiosks that are really cool. Digital signage, perfect for Chrome. We have Chromebooks, Chrome Solutions for Signs, and for meetings. Chromebox for meetings, which is pretty interesting. Zooming in, just some quick detail. Chromebook, you see it. Good for productivity kiosks. We've got Chromeboxes. Those are what's behind these meeting devices. Chromebase, it's almost like an all-in-one machine. Just turn it on, and it's super simple to use. And the Chromebit. Anyone here hear about the Chromebit? Chromebit's really cool. It's a device, maybe the size of this, actually smaller than this, little HDMI device. And you plug it into any TV, and it turns it into a Chromebook. It's pretty cool. OK, a lot of images here, but these are all the sorts of Chromebooks that we have. Here's the Chromebit that I mentioned before. We've got different convertibles, many devices. Chromebase, this guy up in the blue up here, the R11. That's what we have downstairs, and right here, if you want to check it out. Quick thing, any IT admins here? OK, cool. Chromebooks are easy to manage. There's a lot of policies you can manage. Long story short, all Chromebooks connect to the web and check in in terms of what their role is. And if you're an IT administrator, you can buy hundreds or thousands of Chromebooks, and you can manage them all through the web. No CD-ROMs, no USB, really cool stuff. I'm not going to get into that here today, but just want to call that out. OK, infrastructure. ChromeOS works well with existing infrastructure, so you can settle these guys up to log into your SSO servers to authenticate themselves. You can enable disabled USB peripherals, all sorts of wild stuff. Connectivity, VPN built-in, products like Palo Alto Networks, Dell, Firewall, all this, I'll work here if you have private networks. OK, so let's get to the point here. So Android apps on Chromebooks. Let's just jump into a demo here. So three demos. I'm going to do three quick ones. I'll show you Play Store. I'll show you a new app release, super cool, Google Science Journal, and then actual a game, Real Drift Racing. So as the previous folks warned, live demos are always entertaining, but let's try it out here. So here is the Play Store on the Chromebook. Let me do it this way. So here is, let's do it this way. OK, how's that? Cool. So Google Play Store, running on my Chromebook. You have to simplify here, all sorts of things going on. You've got the Play Store icon down here. Same thing you see on this, maybe on your phone. And if I load it up, it's the same Play Store that I see on my phone or tablet, right? These are all the apps I can download, install. I can browse the catalog, et cetera. What does it look like to actually install an app? Let's go down and install Google Translate for Android, because that's always a fun app. So I tap on the app, Google Translate. It's a touch screen device. Get install, downloading, nice Wi-Fi, installing. And there we go. Google Translate's now installed. So I tap on this guy. And here we go, an Android app running on my Chromebook. I can even translate offline, download languages. So if I go to Indonesia or if I go to India, you've got everything you have on an Android app available here. OK. The next demo is Science Journal. So this app is pretty cool. Again, this is an Android app. What I'm going to show you here is how this Android app can use the Chromebook sensors to collect raw data. So I'm going to tap on this. It's an experiment. I'm going to tap on that. And as you can see, you've got the live recording of sound. And you can record, get all the data. And you can see the latency. It's pretty high-quality latency, considering this is an Android app running on a Chromebook. And the last demo is a racing game. This is using Unity. So I'm going to turn my Chromebook around. See if that plays nice. And here we go. We've got a drift racing game. Tap the screen to play. And what's cool about this app is that it actually uses the gyro and the accelerometer to play the game here. So if you turn up the volume. Yeah. Cool. So I can use this G-Sense pad. And as I rotate the device, I'm cruising. It's pretty cool. Again, Android on a Chromebook, full stack access to all the sensors. Yeah, cool. Can't drive, though. All right. The last thing, maybe, for this crowd. Any Emacs fans here? OK, VI? All right, yeah, yeah. All right, cool. Because I got the VI demo. I'm a VI guy. But if you're in the VI, there's a VI Android app you can install. Right? You can blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, right. Very cool. VI on a Chromebook. Also, if you're a fan of command line tools, I'm using Appgit getting some packages. And I want to say I want to do NSLookup, google.com. All this on a Chromebook, very cool. So it's not quite a full Linux workstation, right? But you can install all the tools to get there. OK. So back to the deck. OK. OK, so we just quickly covered Android apps on Chromebooks. We did a Play Store install, Google Science Journal, Real Drift Racing, all fun stuff. Android apps on Chromebooks. So really what we wanted to call out here is Android really just brings a lot of enhancements to Chromebooks, right? With Chromebooks, you get the best of productivity. You got an actual laptop where you can type and create works. Whereas maybe on a phone or a tablet, it's a little bit tough. And you have multi-size window apps, world-class browser, of course. I didn't demo this, but you can run multiple Android apps all at the same time, which is fun. Manageability, I covered that. And then you can just expand. Again, you get that offline experience that you have, or you might love an Android, and you can bring that to the Chromebook for full offline access. I'll get an application consistency a little bit later. But generally, every Google Play app from the Play Store is available for Chromebooks, which is nice. Apps that are one thing to note is that Chromebooks don't have things like GPS sensors for now. Maybe vendors will add them, maybe not. But apps that may require those sensors just will not be present in the Play Store. But at the same time, if you use Google Maps, you can use Wi-Fi networks to do locations. So there's some workarounds if you want to use the Location API for devices that don't have GPS. OK. Admin experience, not going to get into this, but basically there's a website. Again, if you're an IT admin, if you have 10 Chromebooks or 10,000 Chromebooks, you go to a certain website and you can manage them all. Very fun. Android Kiosk apps. So this is coming soon in a few days, I heard, in version M57. But basically what this means is you can now turn your Chromebook into an Android Kiosk. So if you're an Android developer, you can set these Chromebooks up to boot up and only load your Android app, which is pretty fun. You could do a really interesting, super secure, fast, stable system, which is just an Android app kiosk device, take advantage of the touchscreen, the sound, the security, et cetera. I'll quickly get into the new generation of Chromebooks. These were just announced recently, being launched in the US now. But just wanted to bring on your respective radars. We have the new Samsung Chromebook 2. Super cool. It's kind of an all-in-one. Really what we did here is, by bringing Google Play to Chromebooks, we wanted to build the best of a Chromebook to take advantage of Google Play and really bring the best experience there for devices. So this thing is really interesting. Quad HD screen, built-in pen. It's an all-in-one. Great device. General price point, again, is in the US. We have a pro coming out. It's an Intel Core. It's coming out in April, about $550 US. And then the Chromebook Plus, which is an ARM-based device, little less expensive, $449, came out a couple of weeks back. One other quick plug here. These devices were just announced. New rugged Chromebooks. What's actually interesting here, if you see the stylus, this is a low-cost stylus with no pairing, no syncing, and no charging required. And what's really cool is it can work on any device. So you can imagine almost a future ecosystem where maybe you have low-cost styluses that are more or less disposable, less than US $15 or so. What does that mean? Well, you get an interesting platform there of, again, app development, whatnot, when styluses become much more of a commodity. Another just thing to mention, a lot of these new Chromebooks are now coming out with a world-facing camera. So it's got a camera on the front like any other laptop. There also has a camera actually on the keyboard. You can see an image here. What does that mean? When you flip the device around, you can use the laptop as almost a tablet. It's great for schools, great for enterprise, industrial apps, et cetera. Android apps. I'll go through this quick. Obviously, we worked with a lot of Google Apps to make sure they run super nice on Chromebooks. We also worked with a lot of developers. Adobe came out with a whole platform for Android, which is great. Kindle, Evernote, if anyone's a fan of any of these, these are just some of the ones we point out, Slack. Skype works awesome on a Chromebook, Skype Android app. Very cool. OK, so I'll quickly get into the best practices here. So again, the cool thing is Android apps just work on a Chromebook. Literally, you see on the left, that's your Android app on an Android phone. You install it on your Chromebook, it runs. Run straight out of the box. Now, you'll note that it's a phone app designed for phones. So the UI and buttons, et cetera, designed for phones. So as a developer, you might want to optimize your app for a much larger screen. Makes sense, right? General input methods. Chromebooks are great. Again, trackpads, mice, styluses. There's a growing ecosystem of additional input methods which you can take advantage of with your Android app. Sensors, we covered that. Again, Chromebooks don't have GPS, but you can use the Wi-Fi location databases that are out there, either Google or other platforms, and it all works. One big thing to note, obviously, with the Android running on a Chromebook, you have a much bigger screen. So you can work on different UI approaches for that. One thing to note, backup and restore. So one thing that's really cool, can't quite demo here, but when I log into a Chromebook, the Chromebook will remember all the Android apps I have installed on this Chromebook, which makes sense. If I turn the Chromebook off, turn it back on, my Android apps are still there. If I'm on a plane, my Android apps are still there. I can use all the Android apps. But say I get to work, my laptop dies. So I get a separate Chromebook, and I log in into the Chromebook with my account. The Chromebook will, over the air, download all those Android apps. It'll install it all on the fly, just like if you get a new Android phone and it sucks down apps automatically. So we think that's a really cool feature, especially in the education enterprise. If you're in IT, it's really, really interesting. But it brings the user consistency there also to the Android side. Okay, one thing to note, ChromeOS right now is based on Marshmallow. So what you saw here was the Marshmallow stack. But pretty soon, we're gonna bring the Nougat stack, Android in, for those not familiar. It has a lot of cool features. I can't demo them, don't have time, but multiple windows, you can resize. You can actually drag and drop items between Android apps. Super cool, but it's all about adding productivity. You know, the productivity power of a Chromebook to Android. Here's some sites, you can get more information, you can Google it. You can get info on how to optimize your app, what Android apps are popular on Chromebooks, as well as maybe how to manage Android apps on Chromebooks if you want. Okay, and last slide, live demo. So you can go downstairs if you wanna check it out. Again, we've got a couple of these guys. We've got the Science Journal, we've got the Video Game, all sorts of fun things here. So yeah, if there's any questions, give me a shout. Any questions? Yeah. Does Play Services work? Yeah, the question is, does Play Services work the same way as it does on a phone? Like all the APIs that anybody else does. Yeah, all the APIs, so it's full stop Android. Yeah, that's one of the questions. Yeah, I'm gonna thank you for schools and in Cambodia we're getting Chromebooks from Thailand so it's like out of band. Is there any way to enroll them in Chrome management? Short answer, Chrome is only enabled in certain countries, so I could talk to you offline about that, but it depends on a certain country. It depends on where we launch the Chrome management stack. Yeah, good question though. And thanks for bringing Chromebooks there. Any other questions, Android Chrome? Yeah. Seems like the answer I've always wanted to ask is do Android apps support access to external apps on a US? Sorry, so the question is, do Android apps support access to external apps on a US? The long answer is yes, but it's a matter of you, your Android app, properly using the Android APIs on the Chromebook and making sure you're using the right Chromebook APIs to get to the USB. Now in the future that's something that will obviously be there. I'm working on a few projects related to that, but I'd be happy to talk to you offline, but in a nutshell, the longer answer is yes. Yeah, yeah. Sure. Will there be a port of Chromium OS to the Raspberry Pi? A port of Chromium OS to the Raspberry Pi. Technically, yes. If you have a Raspberry Pi running, what is Raspberry Pi, x86? Oh, it's ARM? So Chromium OS does support ARM chips, so technically, yes. So it supports ARM, AMD64, x86. And there's a great site on Chromium OS where you can dig around on a dev site. There's actually a webpage where people have posted all the platforms they've had Chrome OS running on, everything from HP desktop towers to Dell servers, all sorts of brands. Yeah. All right, yeah, go ahead. Sure, so the question is, is there any way to control an Adreno device from a Chromebook? I'd imagine you could get that to work if you have the right Android app using the right interface calls through the right hardware interface, or maybe Bluetooth to your Adreno device. So long answer, but most likely possible. Actually, excellent point, yeah. So Chrome OS has an API called WebUSB where you can literally make a webpage that accesses USB devices, super cool. Yeah. Actually, sorry, there's one here, yeah. Just a short question. So how do you find more hackable Chromebooks where you can actually extend the disk down the inside there? It's very hard to find information about that right now. Yeah, yeah, good question. So the question is again, how do you find maybe more hackable devices in a way like where you can pop it open, add some features? The Chrome platform is more, the Chrome OS ecosystem, it's built on security, et cetera. So the short answer is no, you can't pop this open and add components. But through Chromium OS, you could run Chromium OS on another device and then use that to hack your device around. I have zero, seven, 20, which is very well. You can upgrade the disk on it, but it's great, but it's not officially supported. And how much it's possible on and off these devices, but it would be good to have more information about what you can do if you buy a limited device that has been changed in the first place. Yeah, short answer is Chromium OS is probably the best approach towards that. Chromium OS is really built to be a one-stop kind of package device that's sealed, right, and not really built for that extensibility in mind. There's one, I don't know how we are on time. I'm trying to find one. Sure, the question is, can you load Chromium OS on an old computer? Short answer, yes. As long as it's an Intel X86 CPU stack or AMD 64 stack or an ARM stack, in terms of the chipsets. Performance, it's efficient. Lightweight kernel, it's based on Gintu, I believe. Yeah, but yeah, performance is good. Yeah, yeah, I encourage you to try it out and I'd be happy to chat with you after you have questions, yeah. Cool, any other questions? I'll be around. Feel free to find me if you have any more burning questions or if you want to play around with stuff. Yeah, and if you want to play around with Chromebooks, you're putting them at the Google booths downstairs. Any one of you have seen it? Know about it? There's actually a Google booth downstairs. There are a few people there, a few Chromebooks there, go chat with them.
