It has been abit over a year since Google started to give support for Chromebooks to use Android-apps directly within the ChromeOS by installing them onto their "smaller" harddrive that they have for the OS itself.

Google has now once again given android support to 16 other Chromebook models with ChromeOS. These include Acer, DELL, HP and Lenovo models. These units will have the possibility to download and install apps from the Google Play Store, instead of using the already installed streaming service that only provides a certain amount of games.

Mostly schools use Chromebooks for their educational purposes for students and is a great way with Google Play Store to be able to install those licensed apps on a lesser expensive unit, rather than doing so on a iPad/Tablet or PC to keep the costs down.

Google has previously promised that all Chromebooks sold and released during 2017 and beyond will have support for android-apps. The 16 units that gets the support to install android-apps includes the following models:

Acer Chromebook 11 N7 (C731, C731T)
Acer Chromebook 15 (CB3-532)
Asus Chromebook C202SA
ASUS Chromebook C300SA/C301SA
CTL NL61 Chromebook
Dell Chromebook 11 (3180)
Dell Chromebook 11 Convertible (3189)
Dell Chromebook 13 (3380)
HP Chromebook 11 G5 EE
HP Chromebook 13 G1
Lenovo Flex 11 Chromebook
Lenovo N23 Yoga Chromebook
Lenovo N22 Chromebook
Lenovo N23 Chromebook
Samsung Chromebook 3
Mercer Chromebook NL6D

I've got an OLD samsung chromebook. Liked it purty much until my eyes got to bad to see the tenny tiney screen.

Thats too bad, sadly most Chromebooks come in small sizes, biggest screens are like 13-inch, not easy to keep on looking at them for hours straight. Have you tried any other model? Maybe try one with 13-inch screen and with retin display, those give off alot of brightness and colors, which is pretty nice.
