Can Toshiba Chromebook 2 Run Store App

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority

Back in May 2016, Google first announced that it would be releasing updates to Chrome OS that would allow Android apps on Chromebooks. While the Android app support rollout for Chrome OS devices was slow at first, there are now a healthy number of first and third-party devices that can run the hundreds of millions of apps available from the Google Play Store.

Because of the rather long rollout of Android and Linux app support for Chromebooks, it isn't easy to keep up with which models can run these apps. This list will show just how many Chromebooks can currently run Android and Linux apps, along with the Chromebooks that are scheduled to add Android app support at some point. Keep in mind that starting in 2019, every Chromebook can run Android and Linux apps.

Chromebooks with Android and Linux app support:

Chromebooks with Android app support
Devices with planned Android app support
Chromebooks with Linux app support

Editor's note: Because Google is constantly updating Chrome OS, this list will be updated as more Chromebooks are added to the Android and Linux list.

Android apps on Chromebook instantly make these low-cost computers a lot more appealing. As we mentioned before, every Chrome OS device launched since 2019 features Android app support unless the manufacturer specifies otherwise. Support on devices launched in 2018 and earlier is rolled out on a per-device basis, but the list of these devices is still growing.

Here are the pre-2019 devices that can utilize Android apps:

Chromebooks with Linux app support

Google Pixelbook Go Review front view open

As is the case with Android app support, every device launched after 2019 features Linux app support unless the manufacturer specifies otherwise. Google's own Pixelbook was the first Chromebook to run Linux apps.
