>The alternative is a Chromebook. But I would like to run some Android apps which I already own.

I don't know the details, but it sounds like Chromebooks can now run Android apps: https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/6088175?hl=en

Maybe that's only Android apps that have been "ported" and placed in the Chromebook app store though.




As you mention, just a few apps have been ported. It seems quite experimental and it also seems that at Google the tide now flows the other way. Are we heading towards the inclusion of Chrome to Android?

My question is: what prevents including a full featured Chrome browser in Android devices with more than 2GB of RAM? If Google wants to position Android as a productivity OS, Android should at least support the full versions of Google's productivity tools, and today this means supporting the web versions.
