Google’s Chromebooks have been recently reported to have received the ability of running Android apps and now we get an official list of compatible Chromebook models. What Google did was make changes to Chrome OS, in order to enable the Chromebooks to run Android apps from the Play Store.
Eligible Chromebooks are expected to get such capability later in the year. The compatible device list includes Acer Chromebook 13, Thinkpad 13 and obviously the Google Chromebook Pixel. Chromebooks are accompanied by Chromeboxes and Chromebases in the same list, including models from ASUS, Acer, Google, Dell, Samsung, HP, Lenovo, Haier, Lava, Toshiba and more.
The first set of Chromebooks running Android apps should happen around June/July and they’ll be Acer Chromebook R11/C738T, as well as ASUS Chromebook Flip and Google Chromebook Pixel (2015). All that users need to to is install the Google Play Store on the Chromebook and then a shortcut icon will appear in the taskbar.
