At this time, this device can only run Chrome apps. At some future date, this device will be able to run Android apps but Google has not committed to a date. If running Android apps is an important criteria, then I recommend that you look at other Chrome Books that currently do support Android apps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Google Chromebooks run the Chrome operating system. According to Google at https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chrome-os-systems-supporting-android-apps they plan to provide support for Android apps in the future. Chromebooks are different from standard laptop products in that they are designed to be used primarily while connected to the Internet, with most applications and documents living in the cloud. Because of this they don’t have much for onboard storage but they also are not expensive either. If you need to use third party software applications that must be installed on the computer, a Chromebook is likely not for you, where a Windows laptop would suit you better.
