Android-x86 Project eventually may become a viable operating system alternative for your desktop and laptops computers, but it’s not there yet. You will have to wait a while for the developers to fix a number of failures with the latest release upgrading Android-x86 to Marshmallow 6.0.1. Android-x86 lets you run the Android OS with the Google Chrome browser on your desktop and laptop computers, rather than buying one of the qualified Chromebooks with the Google Play Store features bolted on — but this latest release may be stable in name only.
I've seen a few devices running Android that act like a 2 in 1 computer. But many seem to have trouble finding a market. I know from my experience with my Android tablet that Android might be OK on smartphones, its rather poor on any bigger screen. Android still not as polished as IOS as a bigger screen OS. While I still do not think Apple has created a notebook killer in IOS by any stretch. Android is even further behind IOS in making it useful.Implementing Android apps into Chrome OS seems even more strange in relationships. It's less useful than I thought it would be.
Thank you for the article. I appreciate the honest review. I had a similar experience with trying to install Remix_OS Not primarily with functionality, with the exception of the HDMI not being able to output. Just strange things like I was installing it on a 64bit computer but was given an error stating that something was not supportetd and I needed to install the 32bit version, amongst other install errors in regard to not being able to start things I wasn't farmiliar with. I did install the 32bit version & it seemed fairly good but decided to ditch it due to the HDMI issue. I was doing it on a repaired computer for my manager at work, as a sort of surprise because he uses Android on his tablet and phone. Figured it would be something that may run his computer more efficiently etc... as a last ditch effort to give him the functionality that i had hoped for I installed BlueStack on it. I didn't try it due to having to log in, and he's given me no feedback on it.
I have bought in on the Remix IO Im really hoping they do what they have stated and come up with a functional alternative to Windows 10 and put Android along with it's Play Store bank of apps available for our living room computer. It all plays well with what I would like. We purchsed the Xtreamer Ultra years ago, and have liked it. It's just a bit dated and struggles with windows 10 a bit.
Android Marshmallow on PC Falls Flat
