Google’s Chromebooks aren’t precisely identified to be gaming rigs. For essentially the most half, we’ve seen Chromebooks primarily used as computer systems for work or faculty, however for those who love Google’s Chrome OS and would like to see it grow to be a gaming machine in the future, you’re in luck.

As a few of you may need heard, Steam is predicted to finally arrive for Chrome OS and in line with recently posted code changes, Google has shared an preliminary checklist of Chromebook computer systems that might be among the many first to formally assist Steam.

These computer systems embody the Acer Chromebook 514 (CB514-1H), Acer Chromebook 515, Acer Chromebook Spin 713 (CP713-3W), ASUS Chromebook Flip CX5 (CX5500), ASUS Chromebook CX9 (CX9400), HP Pro c640 G2 Chromebook. There can be one other laptop codenamed Lindar that’s stated to be an unreleased Chromebook by Lenovo.

This checklist is hardly an intensive checklist so there’s a good likelihood that many Chromebook customers on the market won’t be capable of run Steam on their computer systems, however we suppose it’s a begin. There continues to be no phrase on when Steam will likely be formally launching on Chrome OS, however for those who  occur to personal any of the computer systems listed above, it could be one thing to sit up for within the (hopefully) close to future.
