Intel-based Googlebooks have early Android app hiccups

Google's new Googlebook laptops, which just hit shelves, can run almost all Android apps—but models with Intel chips may have trouble with a few complex apps and games. Google says most apps work fine, but a 'small handful' were designed for Arm chips and need updates from developers for top performance on Intel. The company hasn't named affected apps or said how many are impacted.

• Intel Googlebooks may see issues with some Android apps
• Google says most apps work fine out of the box
• Complex apps and games need developer updates for Intel
• No list of affected apps or exact numbers given
• Qualcomm models expected to have better compatibility
