What about the arm chromebook? This would be better as android apps are more commonly built for arm processors.

im considering a chromebook (for mom) but the lack of android-apps is a really big killer of the idea.

Have you used a gamepad with your Chromebook Pixel? If so, what controller did you use and what games worked?

Thanks,

Dick

And, is this running Android as a “dual boot” or in a virtual layer on top of ChromeOS (sorta like what Crouton does for Ubuntu)?

11″ Convertible Laptop/Tablet, ChromeOS, Virtual Android, Crouton for Ubuntu … in a device that’s close $1000. That would be interesting and compelling.

ChromeOS for light web based every day activity. Android for games and recreational stuff. Ubuntu for “real work” (programming, shell level stuff, etc.).

Now, I ask you: what is the use of tinkering with android on a laptop if can not run its applications.
