Android, being the open source platform that it is, offers much more flexibility in terms of the hardware that it can run on, and so there’s Android out there that can run just fine on x86 computer architecture as well.
Before we begin, let’s take a look at what Android on a PC is all about. Dubbed Android-x86,
it’s (an) unofficial build(s) of Google’s operating system designed
specifically to work with Intel’s x86 hardware architecture. That’s
something that Android on Intel project gives you anyway, which is
available for the likes of Dell XPS12. However, Android-x86 takes
that one step further by extending support for a number of other
hardware manufacturers as well. It, too, supports the latest Android 4.4 KitKat, and is quite easy to set up.
