Got a silly question: can you download Google Chrome on this device?

Yep, OSX 10.6 or later... http://www.google.com/mac/ However, I've found Opera a better choice. Your results may vary:)

The only games or programs you can use have to come from the Chrome Store. You would have to search the Chrome Store to see if it's available.

Internet Explorer, which is actually really nice on windows 8. You can install chrome, but its still not in the condition to run perfectly on windows 8. You may have some problems with it sometimes.

No, you won't be able to do that. A cheap solution would be to get the $35 Google Chromecast.

Yes you absolutely can (as long as you have internet connection- Wi-Fi or LAN). It is made to give your TV "smart tv" features. Picture it as your TV being converted into a tablet. You can check mail, all social media sites (FB, Instagram, Twitter, etc), stream movies and music or just browse and search. It has Google Chrome pre-loaded on it.

Yes, they come with a browser, also you can install any app from the google play store, its just like turning your TV into a big android tablet, its really awesome, just one thing is the controler that comes with it sucks and you'll have to buy a wireless mouse/keyboard combo

That is a good question - I do not know. Not having a Chromebook, I could not answer that question either. Sorry.

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.

They say you can, but it won't run on mine. Just says "Google Play Store has stopped."

If you are asking me can you connect to the Internet the answer is yes. You can use either Internet Explorer or Google Chrome

You should pretty much be able to go to any website that Chrome for Android can browse. But, I would echo Barry Gadsey's opinion that it can be a little bit on the slow side. But, I do like it.

No. That's the point of a chromebook - it has Chrome as a browser which is a very limited OS. Imagine using nothing but google chrome on your computer - no Microsoft Office, no Steam + Games, etc etc. The Chromebook is made for people who don't use the computer except for the internet. Netflix, Facebook, YouTube, Hangouts, Amazon Prime, etc are all useable.

I believe you can cause the system is a android so you should be able to download the app onto it :) I have not been able to do that yet cause I haven't been on a computer to download more thins but I believe you can i really love this tablet just as much as my son does lol I'm definently going to put Hulu and Netflix on it when I get a chance :)

I haven't tried it because I can't download any apps from Google Play. This device is not compatible with Google Play itself so you can't even install it. Maybe you can stream directly from the browser.

I just got mine today. *WHAT A GREAT MACHINE* .. the screen is beautiful. It's LITE! Chrome was a breeze to install (err, cloud-ize) Amazing device for the price.
