Google has acquired Boston Dynamics, and you may’ve wondered what kind of robots the search giant plans to work on. We were asking ourselves the same thing and while we couldn’t get all the answers, we thought we could speculate in the meantime.

And while we like the fact that more OEMs are joining Google’s scheme we can’t help but wonder when will the “perfect Chromebook” be released. What I’m looking for is something…
