Having the Play Store on your Chromebook will further the productivity of your notebooks plus the ability of playing popular games. Just imagine Clash of Clans on a big screen and better controls. Since the apps from the Play Store are designed for smartphones, their could be some minor adjustments, but tablet apps should work pretty well.

The same apps that run on phones and tablets can now run on Chromebooks without compromising their speed, simplicity or security.

The update for the Chromebooks is first slated to arrive this June but with Acer Chromebook R11, Asus Chromebook Flip, and Google Chromebook Pixel (2015) only. Others have to wait for a later release. To check out if your device is listed, head over here.

Google releases the latest Android N Developer Preview

Daniel Morial

We’re only a few months away from the final release of the latest Android OS and from last night I/O event, Google releases the beta-quality version of N.

Since the first developer preview of Android N was released to the public, it already gave us the bigger picture about the future of Android. This time, Google added a couple of new features to it and it’s coming over-the-air.

The company launches the “beta-quality” third preview, still not Beta but it’s almost there. Like before, it’s available for Nexus 6, 9, 5X, 6P, Nexus Player, Pixel C, and Android One (General Mobile 4G) smartphones. If you wish to try out, you can sign up here. We’re can’t confirm yet if Cherry Mobile One G1 also supports the latest preview since it’s modeled after the General Mobile 4G.

The latest release includes the VR mode and a new update process wherein it silently downloads then installs in the background so a quick restart is just needed after, no need to wait for minutes of patching.
