Run Android (Web) App on Windows PC?

Question

Gmail has a new beautiful design since January. However, it looks like the rollout takes some time since it didn't arrive yet for the regular web version.

So my question/idea was: can I run the (Android) tablet version somehow on a Windows PC? In the end, it is most probably a web app anyway running in the background? This would allow me to be able to use the new design already without having to buy a tablet...

PS: It is so unfair (in my opinion) that mobile devices nowadays are preferred over PCs for most applications. Even though the most productive use of certain apps is still with a PC...but that's another story for another day.

Answer 1

Yes, it's possible to run the Android version of Gmail on desktop PC. All you need is to download an Android emulator like:

• Nox - https://www.bignox.com/
• Bluestacks - https://www.bluestacks.com/
• Droid4x - https://droid4x.en.uptodown.com/windows
• Genymotion - https://www.genymotion.com/#!/
• KoPlayer - http://www.koplayer.com/
• and many more...
