How Android apps will run on your Chromebook

Google rushed to tout Chrome OS' upcoming backbone for Android apps during its I/O 2016 keynote, but how does it really work ? You don't need to worry about that: the Google Developers has posted the video of a developer presentation that shows how the Play Store and Android applications will run on your Chromebook. Android's intent system makes it generally simple to share file between applications, while offline support will keep you entertained during those long flights. Furthermore, yes, games seem to run easily.

The demo occurred under perfect conditions, so you might need to avoid leaping to conclusions. The chances are that a lower-end Chromebook won't be entirely as adept with Android applications, particularly in the event that it doesn't have a touchscreen to parallel the experience you get on your phone. Regardless, this clip is a good sign for anybody worried that an Android/Chrome OS union could get messy.
