Google says all new Chromebooks will support Android apps

For Google, Chromebooks have not been quite the success the company was hoping for, firmly remaining a niche product. As part of a drive to boost popularity, the company announced last year that it planned to bring Android apps to Chromebook.

But there is, of course, the question of which Chromebooks this means: and now we know the answer. Google has published a list of devices that will support Android apps, as well as revealing that all new Chromebooks will have the feature.

In a seemingly innocuous post on the Chromium Projects site, Google says that: "All Chromebooks launching in 2017 and after as well as the Chromebooks listed below will work with Android apps in the coming future." The company confirms that Android apps are already available on the Asus Chromebook Flip, Acer Chromebook R11 / C738T and Google Chromebook Pixel (2015).

While the news was widely expected, confirmation will please those who have been holding off making a purchase in case a particular model was not supported.

The full list of compatible devices is as follows:
