You can use the Google Play Store to install Android apps on several Google
Chromebooks. This document describes the Chromebooks, Chromeboxes, and
Chromebases that can install Android apps, both currently and in upcoming
releases of Chrome OS.
</p>

<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2>

<p>
The same Android apps that run on phones and tablets can run on Chromebooks
without compromising their speed, simplicity, or security. To develop the best
experience for Android apps across Chromebooks, you should test your app on a
suite of devices that consists of the following categories:
</p>

<ul>
  <li>
    ARM architecture.
  </li>
  <li>
    Intel x86 architecture.
  </li>
  <li>
    Touch.
  </li>
  <li>
    Non-touch (uses fake-touch).
  </li>
  <li>
    Convertible.
  </li>
</ul>

<p class="note"><strong>Note: </strong>You may elect to exclude your app from
being available to Chromebooks. For more information, visit <a

evaluate more devices based on a range of factors, such as processor type, GPU,
and drivers. The following table shows the platforms that currently support
Android apps:
