While Chromebooks make for affordable PC options, they are limited to running web apps on Chrome. This means you run most of everything within a browser and that is quite restrictive. But according to Google’s announcement at its I/O conference in California, later this year Chrome OS will be able to run all apps and games on your Android devices. And they will run these natively to take advantage of the device’s hardware.
These apps will be running in windows so you can easily switch and use as many of them as you want—or as many as your system permits. Developers will get their hands on this new version of Chrome OS but they will need to be using a Chromebook Pixel 2, ASUS Chromebook Flip, or Acer Chromebook R11. They will add support to more devices later so all Chrome OS users will get access to it and hopefully drive sales for these Chromebooks.
