Seen in update version 51, settings contained an option that reads “enable android apps to run on your Chromebook”. While only available in the developers channel, the option could offer Chromebook users a whole new set of apps to use from the popular Android store, Google Play. Developers with access have been able to enable the option.

Are you a Chromebook user? Will the extra thousands of games and apps entice you to look into grabbing a Chromebook?
