A feature recounts how Google executive Sundar Pichai first outlined a browser-centric vision for laptops years before the new Googlebook line.
The Verge has published a feature tracing the history behind Google's new Googlebook laptops back to late 2010, when Sundar Pichai, then a rising Google executive, presented an early vision for browser-based computers.
According to the outlet, that idea centered on the concept that a web browser alone could host all of a user's applications, laying groundwork for what eventually became the Googlebook line.
