As we all know that google has recently launched the feature to use android apps in Asus Chromebook Flip. Most of the users like me and probably you out there have been waiting for this feature for a long time but is it really ready for the mainstream use. Google has made it possible to use around 1.5 million and plus apps to run on chrome OS and yes you can use many of them if not all but let’s first talk about if it really worth the try. Installing the apps ant using them on chrome OS is simple procedure and most probably the support for the devices will be expanded by the end of this summer. During the test run of the apps on my Chromebook some were pretty flawless while some of them were not able to perform as well. The only bad news till now is that the only device that supports this new feature is Asus Chromebook Flip in the next few weeks the support for the device may most probably include the 2015 Chromebook Pixel and Acer Chromebook R11 not any official announcements but let...

A month ago a news was in the air that soon enough Microsoft will be releasing a tool which will help user to clean install their operating system helping the user in getting rid of all the bloatware that come preinstalled in the third party machines.

The tool named as “Refresh Windows” is not exactly what I expected it to be instead of offline refreshing of the windows this tool downloads an image of the Latest Windows and then installs it – which a user can already do with the Microsoft’ Media Creation Tool. Some of you out their might ...

According to google this would be a feature of benefit for developers and more convenient for users. The tech giant was not in any kind of rush to release the function but finally it appears that users will finally be able to access android apps on Chrome OS PCs.

Once the action flow is successfully completed the google app will take you to the related app for completion of t...
