I wonder if soon this would mean Steam would release PC games for Android computers, and laptops which uses the Intel CPU and integrated Intel HD 4000 graphics.
Crazy, how Intel can design a $200 notebook with Android. I'm sure many casual computer users who just need a computer for blogging, forums, video watching, listening to music, social networking and other tasks will buy a cheap Android Notebook for $200 instead of a more expensive $500 and up Windows 8 notebook where you have to pay for both the Notebook, and the many licenses bundled with the laptop like Office 2013 License, Antivirus Licenses, and Windows 8 license which is 99-200 dollars depending on the version.
A lot of people are also familiar with Google Android on their phone and tablet, and Android proven to be pretty reliable on the Amazon Kindle Fire, Nexus 7, Nexus 4, and Samsung Galaxy S2-S4, so I think people will buy an Android notebook to use their apps on a bigger touchscreen with a physical keyboard on the notebook instead of using the onscreen keyboard on their phone or tablet which is harder to type on compared to a physical fullsize notebook keyboard.
