Google plans to shift Chromebooks to Android operating system

Google is reportedly developing a new version of Chromebooks that may run on Android instead of ChromeOS. This change aims to streamline updates and resource sharing between the ChromeOS and Android teams, similar to Apple's iOS and iPadOS. The new Android-based Chromebooks will still support Chrome extensions and Linux apps. Google is also testing features in Android 15 that allow phones to connect to monitors and run apps in windows, enhancing productivity. This shift could address the ongoing issue of limited tablet apps on Android. By integrating Chrome apps into the Android framework, Google hopes to improve the experience for users of larger screens.
