I seen Chromebooks but I do not really feel like getting a Chromebook is there no Android options with Ryzen? :<

Not that I know of, but you could install Android on a Ryzen Chromebook when they come out.

imo currently ryzen mobile is a bad idea. on desktops ryzen is a good performer but on mobile, it has high power usage because its not very efficient yet. you will have lower battery life. i would expect efficiency to be on par with intel when they release ryzen mobile on 7nm. they will probably release this in 2021 as the mobile versions release about a year after desktop.

 

also, android tablets in general are trash unless you're willing to pay 400 dollars or more. apple has captured the low end tablet space too well. 

 

if you are on a budget, go with a chromebook that supports android apps. Chromebooks can run android apps provided you buy a supported model.

Android x86 is far to unstable...

How compatible are they? Better than a tablet or same as a phone? Or is it as good as Android x86?

it is either compatible or not at all. this feature should be listed on the spec pages for each chromebook.

i'm not sure if that would be a good idea. from what I heard (this was a few years back and the situation has probalby changed a lot), running android on machines that were not designed for it causes instability and is generally not recommeded

Well then I guess you're out of options, I don't know of anything with Ryzen that has Android by default. You can run a normal Linux distribution on it if you prefer.

I wouldn't suggest getting anything with a ryzen mobile processor. As much as they may be leading in the desktop area, they haven't really focused much on mobile processors and it can clearly be seen, that's why not many people really speak about it either.

Well if its just for Android do it need to be overkill? x-x

You asked for Ryzen... there are 2-in-1 Intel laptops with Android, this one for example.

well it has been for a while, mainly since Intel decided they didn't care about phones anymore - the one I linked for instance still has a fairly old Atom chip, simply because there aren't any new ones.

Its not on Intel. Android is owned by Google and its also Open Source. Open Source generally means people in their basements donating their time to make shit work. There was really no reason to really provide a good level of support for Android on x86. Why? Because phones and tabelts all generally use ARM CPU's, unless they run Windows. But even now we have Windows 10 on ARM. So the fact is the project probably died due to little interest.

I dont care what people say, Chromebooks/Chrome OS is not as bad as people make it out to be. As long as your not paying $600+ for a machine. My dad's 5 year old Chromebook cost like $129. It does what he needs. He can check his email and surf the few sites that he surfs. He acutally doesnt use it a lot because he finally got a smart phone. 

 

ChromeOS is good for surfing the internet, streaming and checking email. There is a built in media player. Some Chromebooks can run Android apps, but it will vary app to app if it works. If you need more than that, then yes you need a PC or Mac.
