Here are all the Chromebooks that run Android and Linux apps
![Chromebook with Chromebook logo on screen stock photo (1) Chromebook with Chromebook logo on screen stock photo (1) - Android app Chromebook support](https://www.androidauthority.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Chromebook-with-Chromebook-logo-on-screen-stock-photo-1.jpg)
Google first announced Android app Chromebook support back in May 2016. While the rollout for Chrome OS devices was slow at first, there are now many of them that can run millions of apps available from the Google Play Store. A couple of years later, Google revealed it would start adding Linux app support to Chromebooks by lacing them in a Debian-based virtual machine.
Because of the rather long rollout of both Android and Linux app support, it isn’t easy to keep up with which Chromebooks are compatible. This list will show just how many Chromebooks can run Android and Linux apps.
QUICK ANSWER
If you have a Chromebook from 2019 or later, it almost certainly has Android app Chromebook support, as well as being able to run Linux apps. For older models, check out our compatibility lists.
JUMP TO KEY SECTIONS
Editor’s note: Because Google constantly updates Chrome OS, this list will be updated as more Chromebooks gain Android and Linux app support.

FAQs
If your Chromebook is newer than 2019, it can most likely run Android apps. Some older models are also compatible, but you’ll have to double-check the lists above.
If you can’t run any Android app on your Chromebook, it’s likely too old to support it. If you only get errors with select apps, that’s harder to diagnose. It could be that your specific hardware specs aren’t compatible, or that there’s a glitch with the app.
If your Chromebook doesn’t have the Play Store at all, it might not support Android apps. But if you’re looking for an alternative source, you can also sideload apps for Chrome OS by enabling Developer Mode.
