What about the google crapware, does it remove that too?



You mean Chrome, a calculator, a camera app, and a file explorer? Those are pretty much the only apps preinstalled on a Chromebook.


I was thinking more of the android ones, gmail, google+, google maps, play music, play movies, play books, play newsstand, play games, google drive, youtube, hangouts, calendar, google docs.

All installed and unremoveable on my phone even though mail and maps are the only ones I use.


From my experience with an Acer R11 chromebook, there are no pre-installed android apps. You have to explicitly install them from the play store.

Given that a chromebook has pretty good integration with GSuite apps via the web, I am guessing most folks will not need the android versions.


There is no crapware. They comes with the google play store, the web browser, file browser. That's about it.
