However, users can’t install popular third-party software from Microsoft, Adobe, Apple and others. If you can’t run it in the Chrome browser on a Mac or Windows computer, then it won’t run on a Chromebook. That’s about to change. If you’re reading this after Fall 2016, then you probably can now install Android apps on a Chromebook.

The good-looking Acer Chromebook 14 for Work delivers some flash, is powerful enough for most business tasks, and can last more than 10 hours on a single battery charge. Now that some businesses are starting to embrace Chrome OS, the Chromebook 14 for Work is a better SMB choice than less expensive models like the Acer Chromebook 14 ($300), if only for its MIL-810G testing and added durability.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
