More Chromebooks support Android and Google Play

Byryan October 5, 2016October 5, 2016

chromebook-android Liliputing is reporting that several more models of Chromebooks now support Android. These Chromebooks are the Acer Chromebook 14, Acer Chromebook 15, Samsung Chromebook 3, and Toshiba Chromebook 2 (2015).

Support has gotten a lot better on my Flip, to the point where I can rely on Android apps for work. For example, Microsoft Remote Desktop runs very well, allowing me to run any app I need now.
