Google today introduced a new, easier way to take screenshots on devices that run on the Chrome OS. In the past, the only way you could take a screenshot on a Chrome OS device was with the help of a keyboard shortcut. However, this made it hard for users to take screenshots while using it in the tablet mode.
There used to be no way to take a screenshot while on tablet mode. However, with this new update to the Chrome OS, users will now be able to press the power and volume down buttons together to take screenshots – just like they do in their Android devices.
Google has been improving various aspects of the Chrome OS as they have been working hard towards taking their Chromebook devices mainstream. While Chromebooks are being used by a number of people, they are yet to be perceived as a proper laptop equivalent or compete with other similar devices by competing brands. However, thanks to constant updates like these, Google is indeed stepping up.

Google is on quite a patent-filing spree. Yesterday, we saw a Google Patent talking about laptops which open up automatically when they see you. Today, a new Google patent has surfaced which details a dual-screen notebook which splits into half! Google seems to be working on innovating the way we know laptops to be.
Based on the patent documents, it looks like this laptop will consist of two equal halves which can be used either as two individual devices, or one large device. Google might have stopped working on Project Ara, but it looks like their interest in modular design has lived on.
If you follow recent design trends, many modern-day laptops come out as convertibles which can act as either tablets or laptops. However, this sort of a design could bring about a radical change in the way we know laptops to be. This Google Patent shows us two tablets which join together to form a notebook.
Interestingly, both these halves come with their own set of processors, memory, battery and power management. There are no QWERTY buttons anywhere on the devices. It looks like when you put both of them together, one of them can double up as a keyboard along with touch input.
Moreover, when both these halves are put together to form a notebook – the processing power of the two can be combined to provide even better, stronger performance to the user.
While the concept seems to be quite exciting at the moment, it may or may not become reality. The Google Patent indeed exists in the USPTO, but not all patents that are filed actually become a reality. However, it would be interesting to see if Google does actually decide to give modular technology another shot with this dual screen modular laptop. Stay tuned with us for more details on this!
