Not so long ago, Chromebooks were something out of our minds. People didn’t relate well to them, that’ s why there was a low demand. Since then, quality of Chromebooks has significantly increased and more and more users prefer Chromebooks to other notebooks in iOS or Windows. At the beginning of 2016, Google has published an official list of Chromebooks, including well-known models of Acer, Google, HP, Lenovo and some less known like PCMerge, CTL and so on. We want to show and describe some of the models so that you have a full vision.
The first Chromebooks that will support the option are the Acer Chromebook R11 C738T, ASUS Chromebook Flip and Google’s Chromebook Pixel (2015). Now more and more companies invest in Chromebooks and its ability to run Android apps from Gooogle Play Store.
