Ask HN: Best desktop android running as VM?

4 pointsby botwover 9 years ago
Is there a good desktop android running as a VM? can run android APKs, terminal, copy/paste among apps and between host/guest windows. I need to type a lot into android apps from keyboard instead of tapping.

Have you tried Microsoft&#x27;s Android Emulator?<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.visualstudio.com&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;features&#x2F;msft-android-emulator-vs.aspx" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.visualstudio.com&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;features&#x2F;msft-android-emu...</a><p>Genymotion could be another choice.<p>I only tried both, I remember the default VM being a bit of a pain, so I guess either should be better.

You could run GenyMotion as a VM on any laptop. (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.genymotion.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.genymotion.com</a>)<p>Or if you just want Android a Lenova Yoga?

The Bluestacks emulator (90M users) is available on PC and Mac, <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bluestacks.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bluestacks.com</a>

Not sure it meets your task requirements, but typically you can pair a Bluetooth keyboard with an Android device.

If it fits your usecase, Arc Welder works like a charm.
