Play Store and Android Apps Coming to Chromebooks

After the Android Chrome app gets extensions, what's the point of keeping ChromeOS alive? It's the only thing Android's missing that ChromeOS has.

Except for instant boot times, really paranoid security and a long list of supportive laptop OEMs

Are those boot times still so good if the first apps you use are Android ones? That would be an apples-to-apples-comparison.

If that's true, then I wonder why ChromeOS would boot up so much faster than Android? I suspect it doesn't.

I guess it's more about devices. Sometimes people do want to use laptop or devices with big screen and real keyboard.

I think his point is they'll just become Android laptops.
