Chromebooks Compatible with Google Play Store to Install Android Apps

In recent years, Chromebooks have gained popularity due to their affordability, simplicity, and user-friendly interface. Compared to similarly priced Windows laptops, you can expect superior build quality, long battery life, and a smooth, polished user experience that removes all distractions, allowing you to fully focus on whatever it is that you're doing.

If you don't own a Chromebook or Google isn't planning to support your device, we have three recently released Chromebooks that are worth every cent. With the simple step of enabling the Google Play Store on your Chromebook, you get access to more than 2.4 million apps and games that are currently available in the Play Store, including Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote.

To enable the Google Play Store on your Chromebook, head over to Settings and check the box for 'Enable Google Play Store on your Chromebook' in the 'Google Play Store' section. Your Chromebook must run Chrome OS version 53 and up. If you own a compatible device, the first thing you should do is update your Chromebook software.

With this ability to download and use Android apps, you can make a Skype call, work with Office files and be productive offline - or take a break with games like Minecraft, Hearthstone or Clash of Clans. As Elijah Taylor and Dylan Reid mentioned in their blog post, 'This means you'll be able to download and use Android apps, so you can make a Skype call, work with Office files and be productive offline - or take a break with games like Minecraft, Hearthstone or Clash of Clans.'

In the past, it was somewhat hard to justify a purchase of a Chromebook when much more versatile Windows laptops cost virtually the same. However, Google's highly anticipated announcement has changed this. While their build quality, performance, and battery life are usually subpar compared to Chromebooks, they run Word, Photoshop, and other popular programs.

If you're in the market for a new Chromebook, here are three recently released models that are worth considering: the ASUS C302CA-DHM4 Chromebook Flip 12.5-inch Touchscreen Convertible Chromebook, the Acer Chromebook R 13 Convertible, 13.3-inch Full HD Touch, and the ASUS C201PA-DS02 11.6-Inch Laptop (Navy Blue).
