So, you’ve checked the list to identify a Chromebook that runs Android and you are ready to purchase it and use it in your classroom. Enabling Google Play Store on Your Chromebook Even if you don’t see your Chromebook on the list, it will still receive updates until its Google-determined end-of-life, which should be about five years after it debuted.

You should know, too, that just because you go buy a new Chromebook at Walmart, Best Buy, or Amazon, that doesn’t mean that it will run Android apps.
