Of course. It comes with Windows 8 so any windows software may be installed.

This device can communicate via Ethernet. If your Chromebook can plug into an Ethernet device, then yes. You can always hook this device up to a wireless router and use the Wireless of your laptop.

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.

Step, I responded after clicking the I don't know key that the chrome book has limited abilities and may not be able to load some windows systems that make syncing the player so simple. Ashes may be wrong because a USB port is just a portal to the software available.

Yes it can connect to your computer for downloading as long as you have a USB port on your computer.

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.

I run remote desktop in Chrome on my home PC watching my DishNetwork receiver, which remote desktops over to the Chromebook. Audio is stereo only though and the video is a bit blurred.

And here are two more questions while I am at it.Say I want to create an e-mail and attach a word file. How do I do that on a Chromebook? (I know that googledocs allows you to send documents by e-mail, but say I wanted to send the email w/ attachment from another e-mail account?) Second, I've heard that the google chromebooks don't heat up on your lap if they are used for an extended period of time. If so, that is a really sweet selling point for me, but is it true?

Sorry, but there is no way to download or access online the info on the CD. But more over you can purchase a new USB optical drive for your ultrabook. Which can run your CD.

I have a Chromebook too; the Muse will plug into the USB port both for charging and for putting music on it. The Muse will show up in your Files, just as a thumb drive would. What I am not sure about is whether Play will let you direct your download directly to Muse or if Play will default to the Chromebook Download file folder first (thus requiring a two-step move from Download to Muse). I just downloaded an album from Play and it didn't give me the option (that I saw) of a destination folder other than Download, so for me it looks like two steps.

That would be an unfortunate no, (unless you have serious soldering skills and can find a compatible unit). Go to Youtube and search Toshiba Chromebook SSD upgrade fail. The motherboard, as seen in the video, also shows space for an additional 2GB of ram. I have this Toshiba, and I also have an Acer C720 4GB (with upgraded 128GB SSD). For the way I use my Chromebooks, I can find no difference in performance between the two. If you want to add more local storage, the Toshiba does have a SD card slot that leaves none of the card sticking out (very nice). I started with a 64GB card but I just got a 128GB card (it was as much as the SSD I put in the Acer). I have no problems playing back 1080p video from the card. the only thing I don't like is that every time I log on the files app opens up because it detects the card.

Already well answered but I'll add that I haven't been able to scan from my Chromebook. I can only do that using an Android device.

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

Unfortunately, no. I guess you can download almost anything. I do not have a lot of tech experience but considered copying files and emailing and installing them. Also, Norton was very helpful, installing my Norton 360 remotely for me. There's tons of room on the hard drive so don't see running out any time soon. Hope this helps.
