Hi there,
Newbie at Android -albeit not at computing!.
I have a very simple question: can I use some flavour of Android as 'the' OS in a PC? (that is, a device with a x86 or x64 processor).
Why I'm asking this?. I would like to 'revive' an old PIII laptop I have which I shelved because it was too slow to decently run even WinXp (as per today's response time standards!). Given that Android seems to run in low level devices -as in 'little memory', 'slower processor' than PC, etc.- I wonder if there's a chance I could just 'install' it in a PC and use it as some kind of tablet -albeit I wouldn't have a touching screen, I know!
Thanks
PS: Please note I am asking whether Android can be installed as the main OS in a PC, not if I can run it in some kind of virtual machine.
