Windows 11 is to have the ability to run android apps but it is highly unlikely for this to be available from day 1 (sometime in October) and no dates have yet been hinted as yet.

yes I saw that - but I understand it will be some time before the apps can be run - I've treated myself to a little Chromebook in the meantime

A Chromebook is not the same thing as Android.  The only link between them is the Google name.  That's it.  They are two entirely different things.

If your aim was to unify (as far as possible) the apps on your phone on a desktop device then a tablet would be the most logical solution.

But your money, buy what you like.

A Windows PC can happily run Android APPS, but only if you download and install an Android Emulator first.

BLUESTACKS is very popular but there are a good selection here

I have used Nox which works OK when I have (rarely) tried it
