15 free apps that unlock the best version of your Chromebook

Macs and PCs are no longer the only options for those looking to buy a computer. One of the fastest-growing categories is the Chromebook, Google’s own line of devices.

Initially, Chromebooks were low-cost machines largely limited to the Chrome browser. In recent years, more premium Chromebook models with greater processing power have entered the market.

In most cases, you can download Android apps to your Chromebook via the Google Play Store. While many apps will run, there’s no guarantee they’ll perform perfectly.
