The newly announced Samsung Chromebooks (Plus and Pro) will come with Google Play installed and will be able to run any Android app within the fully fledged Chrome OS environment.

 

They come packing a lightweight, thin, all-metal design that looks like a cross between a (Galaxy) tablet and a laptop.

 

With all the functionality of both Chrome OS and an Android tablet, in a convertible format, with stylus too boot, why would you choose an Android tablet over this? Or an iPad come to think of it.

 

Here are some YouTube links ...

PS. I didn't know whether to post this under Chrome OS, or Android, so flipped a coin (-:

Interesting, but since I have not heard anything good about Android apps running on Chromebooks I really doubt it will be the final nail in anything. Also, I have a laptop and I have an iPad. Why would I want something that is not great at being either of those things?
