     25 The same Android apps that run on phones and tablets can run on Chromebooks
     26 without compromising their speed, simplicity, or security. To develop the best
     27 experience for Android apps across Chromebooks, you should test your app on a
     28 suite of devices that consists of the following categories:
     29 </p>
     30 
     31 <ul>
     32   <li>
     33     ARM architecture.
     34   </li>
     35   <li>
     36     Intel x86 architecture.
     37   </li>
     38   <li>
     39     Touch.
     40   </li>
     41   <li>
     42     Non-touch (uses fake-touch).
     43   </li>
     44   <li>
     45     Convertible.
