Lisa Gade demonstrates Android apps and the Google Play Store running on the Acer Chromebook R11, one of three Chromebook models that currently support Android apps on Chrome OS (the Asus Chromebook Flip an the Pixel are the other two). Google will add this milestone feature to a host of Chromebooks later in 2016 and in 2017. If you own one of the three supported models, you can enable developer builds in your Chromebook's settings to try it yourself.
We test Evernote, Mission Impossible, Microsoft Word, Asphalt 8, note taking apps and more from the Play Store. We also compare the web vs. Android app version of some apps like MS Word (hint, the web version is often better suited to a laptop style device).
The Acer Chromebook R11 is an 11.6” Chrome OS laptop with a very pleasing 1366 x 768 IPS touch screen, 360 degree hinge, 4 gigs of RAM, a quad core Intel Celeron processor and an ample selection of ports. It sells for around $300.
