Android — and 1,000,000+ apps — on your Chromebook is awesome.
But not every Chromebook is going to get updated to have Google Play and Android apps. And most of the ones that will are in a long testing process.
We all hate waiting. And we all hate updates that break things. Google and the people who made your Chromebook are trying to make sure everything is good and keep the wait time to a minimum, but still — we all hate waiting!
Things are progressing. Here’s the current state of Android on Chromebooks and Chromeboxes.
Chromebooks with Android apps available in the stable channel
