No !! Chrome is Linux based. Chrome is great for basic virus resistant web based lap or notebook operating system. Stay with a MAC or Windows upper level laptop. Chrome is very basic. Hope this helps.

I haven't tried, but there are apps that you can get. I don't know if Windows is one of them or if they have a similar program from google.

I don't know, I use it with my Chromebook laptop. Don't have Windows 8 on that. Sorry

I have a small Windows 8 laptop and successfully watch DVD movies using the free VLC media program. Not sure about a chromebook.

I have not tried it with a chromebook, but it would be very surprising if it did not work. It is an excellent product.

Acer 720 is Chromebook and this unit is not tested with Chromebook yet. Also this unit is a CD burner and DVD writer so you won't be able to burn DVDs.

I am not sure, it has tons of apps to choose from and I know you can put web pages as apps. That is however only when you are using the touchscreen desktop not the windows 7 version it functions the same way as the original.

I'm not familiar with Google Chrome, but this might help. Found this article on the Web: http://www.androidcentral.com/how-upgrade-ssd-your-acer-c720-chromebook

Yes, you can. If you want to have a look and feel of Windows 7 (no touch screen), there is a free shell you can download that gives you this option.

Yes, according to Google Support. Details at https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/183093?hl=en It's a regular flash/thumb/USB drive, so there should be no problem with any computer or tablet that has a USB or a micro-USB port.

If the Chromebook has a USB port it should work fine. There is no dedicated back button, just the standard 2 buttons.

You really can't download or install anything on a chromebook. You only will have a chrome web browser to do anything with.

As far as I know it is not, this cintiq came out quite a while before the chromebook. Also since chromebooks' operating system is internet based it may not even be installable. I'm no expert on chromebooks but I am pretty sure the answer is no.

You cannot install software on a Chromebook, so that is a major decision you have to make. A Chromebook is a web computer, so you can do many things with it, on the web. Google has a "Chrome Store" that has 'apps' you can install inside the Chromebook's web browser, but it's not installed ON the Chromebook. They are more like plug-ins (add-ons) than "programs". As for Autodesk Sketchbook Pro 6, if you cannot find satisfaction with it's closest web-based alternative, http://pixlr.com/editor/, then you're best to buy a Windows computer at the best price you can find. I don't know of any other alternatives that would work on a Chromebook, aside from pixlr.

I have never used a chromebook but can see no reasona why this wouldn't work with a Chromebook. I have used them with mAC and windows computers without problems.

Yes, this will work with a chromebook. It is a USB keyboard with a custom layout for chrome OS. It will work on a normal PC too but the custom layout may make it harder to use.

I can't say with 100% certainty since I haven't tried, but based on the way Chrome OS works, I would say no. Chrome is a cloud - based operating system meaning it relies on web-based applications rather than ones installed on the computer. Any storage space on the Chromebook is probably meant to store local media files rather than programs. This program utilizes a Windows - based executable file which would almost certainly not run on Chrome. You will probably have to find a web-based version of this or an alternative, unless you can find a program that will emulate Windows in the Chromebook. There are emulation programs like VMware and Parallels for Mac that would allow you to do this, but I don't know of any similar programs for Chrome at this point. Good luck in any event.

whoa yes you can i did by installin full-blown linux on my chromebook. I used this method if you feel youre up to "hacking" your chromebook a little.heres the link you like to try installing linux , & you don't really have to ROOT the chromebook because the acer one is "hacker friendly" just boot into developer mode & it will let you install linux with no trouble. http://chromeos-cr48.blogspot.com/2013/05/chrubuntu-one-script-to-rule-them-all_31.html
