Yes the Lenovo is Android compatible and I will install some Android Apps, the Doubletwist Music Player will be one of the first I Install. I have to be a little careful as I have less than 64GB of storage to play with right now though this will of course be rectified when I get a SD card to expand the machine's storage.

Google Chrome OS is not the same as Google Android so make sure your Chromebook or Chromebox machine supports both OS platforms before you attempt to install any Android Apps. -----Original Message----- From: d.griff...@btinternet.com <d.griff...@btinternet.com> Sent: Saturday, 18 April 2020 3:19 AM To: techno-chat@techno-chat.net Subject: RE: [Techno-Chat]: Chromebook Up And Running What I would personally find very interesting is the extent to which phone based Android apps are usable and accessible on a Chrome Book. So for example would a TTS voice bought under Android on the Google Play Store also be available on a Chrome Book? As another example there are gaps in accessible Desktop/Laptop Windows applications which do not appear on mobile devices. On my iPhone I can used CloudBeats for Music and and/or Cloudbeats for Audio Books to accessibly stream all my media from DropBox and OneDrive through a proper media player interface making for me Apple Music unnecessary. I know there are Android versions of these Cloudbeats programs - but would they work on a Chrome Book? If they did it would provide a functionality which Windows Laptops, as far as I am aware are not able to accessibly replicate as programs like Clementine are completely screenreader inaccessible. I am sure there are other examples of Android apps which give accessible functionality which is difficult to replicate under Windows.

I'm replying again as I've since done some more searching on Chromebooks and what I found did surprise me. There are literally hundrends of Chromebook and Chromebox models out there and the specifications vary widely, right up to Intel I7 jobs with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage as you will find in the top model of Google Pixel Book Chromebook computer. My Lenovo machine is a dwarf compared to those specs with 64GB SD and 4GB of RAM though this shouldn't be a huge issue when running "Stand-Alone" Androids Apps which you can do apart from the Online Chrome OS though to have the power of a Pixel Book would be absolutely wonderful so I might just put one of those on my savings goal list though - given the Pixel Book 2 is a couple of years old now - Google may very well release a replacement model. As my house is dominated by Mac machines so it now seems to be dominated by Android devices so I'll just walk out into the backyard and drop dead <smile>. -----Original Message----- From: Travis Siegel <tsie...@softcon.com> Sent: Saturday, 18 April 2020 1:04 AM To: Techno-Chat ... Technology Enthusiasm! <techno-chat@techno-chat.net> Subject: Re: [Techno-Chat]: Chromebook Up And Running I tried a chromebook last year, when I bought it for my daughter. I found it usable, but extremely limited in what it can do. It would appear that if you're looking to do anything online, (basically, anything browser based), then chrome os is a perfect fit for you. If however, you're like me, and do nearly nothing on the web, the chrome book/os is not a good fit. Honestly, I see how it could be useful, it just isn't for me. ------------------------------ This post, like all posts to the Techno Chat E-Mail group has been scanned by our server-side antivirus/malware solution.
