Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.  I’m Fred Fishkin.   A new operating system for laptops?    That is what Googlebook is designed to be.    They’ve partnered with a variety of manufacturers…including Asus, HP and Lenovo…to bring these new machines to market.   And with access to the Play Store for Android… Google’s Peter Du says they can be replacements for Windows or Mac machines.   And…
