![]() ![]() ![]() I had not realised that even a lowly HP Chromebook 14 is now supported by the beta, but when I saw the option in settings I jumped at it. The main motivation for this seems to be to run Android Studio, so that Googlers and others with smart Pixelbooks (high-end Chromebooks that cost between £999 and £1,699) can do a bit more with their expensive hardware. Recently Google has added support for Linux applications, though this is still in beta. Android apps run fairly well though I have experienced some anomalies. It has for some time been able to run Android applications these run in a container which itself runs Android. Chrome OS (the proprietary version of the open source Chromium OS) is no longer an OS that essentially just runs Google’s Chrome browser, though that is still the main intent. This is a low-end notebook for sure, but still boots quickly and works fine for general web browsing and productivity applications. It runs an Intel Celeron N3350 processor and has a generous (at this price) 32GB storage many of the cheaper models have only 16GB. I have been writing about Google Chromebooks of late and as part of my research went out and bought one, an HP Chromebook 14 that cost me less than £200. ![]()
