Partdon the pun if I cite Microsoft Edge as an edge case; another example that few might attempt would be Samsung's mobile browser. In both cases, I expect the developer is intentionally avoiding x86 devices (though Microsoft appears to have gone even further, limiting most everything that isn't clearly a phone).
Otherwise, I love to advocate for alternative browsers on ChromeOS as it is a long-term option for chromebooks past their support date but which won't be granted this feature through the current development path for ChromeOS which will eventually decouple the Chrome browser from the... [aboutchromebooks.com]. At the same time, I would recognize that the vast majority of chromebook users will stick to the Chrome browser or may consider a fully supported Android browser like Opera (which widely advertises support for chromebooks via the Android Play store [opera.com]). In the same way, very few developers seem to bother with restricting chromebooks as an option for their app in the Play store even though that is a lever they can indeed enable (as the Microsoft Edge example illustrates).
Thanks for creating an opportunity to discuss alternate browsers on ChromeOS and also note the less-than completely universal nature of Play store support. As tablets and even some phones have often experienced the latter, it doesn't always get a mention even though it is still part of Google's Play store experience (either blame Google for allowing the broken experience and not enforcing universal support, or blame a given developer for avoiding platforms as part of their strategy).
Good luck!

you can also find used touched screen win machine with 16gb and upgradable storage
for less than 150 with backlit..
As far as touch screen...it's handy and when i switch back to my main windows laptop i get annoyed when i go to touch the screen and it doesn't work lol
I'm just happy to be able to jump on this deal now as only in the interim did I realize that I would indeed have a use for bringing another chromebook like this into the house (so that I can completely retire an older ASUS R11 and let it become someone else's opportunity).
Good luck!

So touchscreen has better build quality and touchscreen. What is the nits on each of them? Also someone said the touchscreen is more vibrant and looks better? So is that related to nits?
Someone said the touchscreen is glossy whereas the nontouch is matte? Can anyone else confirm this? I am not a fan of glossy display and always prefer matte display. Why would anyone want a glossy display?
So you can install linux on it but it has no sound?
Then what use is that then? But years later when no more updates, will you be install to install linux to get sound? Want to be able to use it after it expires. So anyone here use it as linux now? What about chromeflex that I heard of? So for now, use it as chromebook. Then use it as linux or chromeflex after no more updates?
