hp 14-x010nr
Chrome OS

Hi, I was wondering if android apps can now be installed on my chromebook hp 14-x010nr? 

I have found the list of chromebooks that support android apps on chrome OS system support (https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/chromium-os/chrome-os-systems-supporting-android-apps), my problem is I honestly do not understand enough about operating systems to figure out if the particular chromebook I have can run android apps or if I am just not doing things right on my device. 

Also, does anyone know if anybody is working on making android apps work on this particular model?

I have had my device for several years now and I mostly just use it for social media since the webstore either does not have the apps I needed and are very few compared to the android playstore, also most of its apps are just extensions to websites and such which is okay but renders my chromebook useleess if it is offline. Most of the apps I have installed feel like they are still on beta stages, or eventually stops working over time. So now I have been looking forward to having android apps on my device ever since I read somewhere that android support for chrome OS were on the works.

I have been reading up on google support forums and I still understand very little on these matters, please help.
thank you.

Hi! @anamac, thanks for your quick response and time again.

 

I appriciate your efforts for writing back to us.

 

All the laptops listed in the compatibility guide are a commercial product.

 

We don't have any consumer product which is listed in the guide.

 

So you will not be able to install android apps on your laptop.

 

Also, the hardware configuration on a commercial laptop would be higher than a consumer product.

 

So there are two laptops which says as planned.

 

 

Hope this answers your query!

Take Care! 🙂

Hello, Thank you for your prompt reply.

One more thing though, would it be possible for my laptop be able to support android apps in the future?
Is it possible? because it says that they are still evaluating other devices to add on the list.

Did you mean that my laptop specifications does not support android apps now
or that it cannot support android apps ever, regardless of how many software updates it gets?

As I have stated earlier, I do not understand much about these things. 

Thanks for your assistance and for answering my earlier question.
