Chromebooks Getting Android Apps: Here's The Full List
Google just recently pushed out version 53 of the Chrome OS development channel, which, for a select few Chromebook owners, that heralded the arrival of Google Play Store and Android apps on their devices. However, it did raise the question of when, or if, other Chrome devices will also get this juicy feature. Especially the promised 2015 Google Chromebook Pixel as well as the Acer Chromebook R11. Good news is that those two will getting their fair share soon. Even better news, almost all Chromebooks and Chromeboxes, and Chromebases will also have their day in the Android sun. At least eventually.
When Google officially revealed the upcoming arrival of Google Play Store on Chrome last Google I/O, it specifically named three Chromebooks that will receive that feature first, namely, the ASUS Chromebook Flip, the Acer Chromebook R11, and, of course, Google's own Chromebook Pixel (2015). The recent update did make that happen but for the Chromebook Flip only, leaving some rather disappointed and worried users.
To appease almost every Chromebook owner, Google has revealed a timetable for the rollout of Google Play Store on devices. The other two Chromebooks will receive theirs sometime in June or July, in a separate update. But even better, Google is more or less promising that by 2017 almost all current Chromebooks in the market will enjoy Android apps. The full list is as follows:

Google does mention a caveat that not all Chromebooks will get Android app support. At least not officially. It might be just a matter of time before more enterprising developers figure out how to make it happen for eveyone.
