Written by 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.
This list was updated December 23, 2016.
Chromebooks with Android apps available in the stable channel
Make sure you have the latest version of Chrome and look in your settings if you don't have a Play Store app. You can enable it there by checking the box.
Acer Chromebook R11
ASUS Chromebook Flip
Google Chromebook Pixel (2015)
Chromebooks with stable channel support waiting to unlock
These Chromebooks have Android app support in the stable channel, but it's blocked until a final sign-off by all parties that it's good to go. They will be officially supported soon.
Acer Chromebook 14
Acer Chromebook 15 (not all models yet)
HP Chromebook 11 G5
Toshiba 2 (2015)
Chromebooks with Android support in the beta channel
You'll need to switch to the beta channel to enable Android support. Further instructions on switching channels can be found here.
Acer Chromebook R13
Dell Chromebook 13 — Present, but blocked. See above.
Chromebooks with Android support in the developer channel
You'll need to switch to the beta channel to enable Android support. Further instructions on switching channels can be found here. Be aware that the developer channel may be unstable and the opposite of what you're used to from your Chromebook.
ASUS C301SA
HP Chromebook 13 G1
Samsung Chromebook 3
There are reports of blocked developer channel access to Android apps on the ASUS 300SA. We're unable to verify if those are true.
