  IMHO, these chromebooks are not laptops - they are large screen tablets with the bluetooth keyboard attached to them. So the idea, and if I recall correctly, proof of concept, of ChromeOS running Android apps isn't a large stretch. edit: I just watched the promotional video, and I was right about their interest in ChromeOS running Android apps, I was just wrong about its maturity level. The video states that ChromeOS runs "select" Android apps.

  Think of them as Chrome OS version of "Modern apps".

  You sound surprised. Are web apps better than Android apps?

    I think on a computer with a Core i5 and 8gb of RAM, choosing between web apps and Android apps is kind of a false choice. Windows or Linux both offer you far more applications that are built to take advantage of that form factor.
