1. Games
Sure, we said this isn’t a gaming computer, and we meant it, but that doesn’t mean you can’t play lightweight stuff on it, like from the Chrome Web Store. Whether you like arcade games, puzzles or role-playing games, there are plenty of titles to keep you occupied for at least a while. You can pick games that are free or make sure to see those that are available for Android too, since you might want to play on your phone too, picking up where you left off. There’s also the option to check out only the games that run offline, which is quite beneficial if you sometimes like to spend time offline. Ha! We’re kidding. It’s for those times when you’re on the train, and the Internet is so bad you’d just rather have it stop altogether. Far are the days of the dial-up, aren’t they? No one has the patience for those buffering icons anymore.
Back to the games that ranked first in our list of best Google apps for Chromebook, however. You can also put your trust in other people’s judgment and check out games and apps by their ratings, narrowing down only the coolest apps.
There’s also the fact that you can install Android apps on your Chromebook. Thus far, only a handful of Chromebooks is compatible with Google Play, but updates are coming, and it shouldn’t be long before you have access to the full catalog. There are methods to get this done right this instant, but we won’t elaborate since they’re not necessarily safe before Google pushes the updates properly, but if you’re adamant about it and search the Internet for a few seconds, you’ll be able to find a few guidelines. You’ve been warned, however!
So, if you own a Chromebook and you’re a bit bummed about what you can and what you can’t install, just keep in mind that you should be quite happy with this light version laptop since there are plenty of things you can do with these 6 best Google apps for Chromebook.
