<\/a><\/p>\n Rumors of a touchscreen Chromebook made by Google have started to hit the inter webs, making for much excitement among Chrome fans. The Chinese source, Commercial Times, states that Taiwanese Compal Electronics will be in charge of production while Wintek will be taking care of the device’s touch panels. Quite a shock, right? <\/p>\n The idea of Google creating its very own Chromebook is no small news, this is huge. We are talking about a possible “Nexus” Chromebook. And if we can take Google’s current strategy as evidence, this will probably be one affordable machine. The addition of a 12.85-inch touchscreen is another surprise to us, as we have never seen this in a Chrome OS device. <\/p>\n The operating system is not really optimized for touch controls, but this is where the whole industry is starting to move. Now that Microsoft is pushing for touchscreen computers, this could be Chrome’s moment to shine and be one of the first to implement this feature at large (in personal computers). <\/p>\n
