Following the launch of Android Apps on the ASUS Chromebook Flip late last month, Google is back once again with some pretty exciting news and has announced that two new Chromebooks will now begin supporting the Google Play Store.
To enable the Google Play Store on your Chromebook Pixel (2015) and the Acer Chromebook R11, all you have to do is:
- Click the bottom right corner of your screen and go to the Settings page
- Hit the "About Chrome OS" button and then the "More info ..."
- Click the "Change channel ..." button and then choose the Click the "Developer" option
- Hit the "Change channel" button to confirm and your Chromebook will begin downloading the latest developer channel for device
- Once the download is finished, you need to reboot your Chromebook, and Voila! you are now in M53 developer channel
- Click the bottom right corner of your screen and go to the Settings page
- Look for the "Play store" section and check the box that says "Enable Google Play Store on your Chromebook"
- Hit the "Get started" button, and after you agree to the terms, you'll see the Play store app open
- Voila!
That's it, you can now download and install your favorite Android apps and games on your Chromebook Pixel (2015) and the Acer Chromebook R11, with more Chromebooks to be added later on.
