Android Apps Will be Available on all Chromebooks Released in 2017.

Chromebooks are an affordable alternative to PC’s and Mac’s, but they are limited by an inability to install many apps. Google has announced that all Chromebooks released in 2017 will have the Play Store and the ability to install Android apps. This makes Chromebooks more flexible in what they can do. Below is a list of current Chromebook models that can run Android apps, and Chromebook models that will receive an upgrade in the future.

From Google

The Chromebooks, Chromeboxes, and Chromebases that will be able to install Android apps are listed below. While we won’t be able to bring Android apps to every Chromebook ever made, we’re continuing to evaluate more devices based on a range of factors, like processor type, GPU, and drivers. We’ll update this list as new devices are added.
For the best experience with Android apps on Chromebooks, we recommend purchasing a device from the list below.
Even if your Chromebook isn’t on this list, it will continue to get other new features and improvements.
