Question: I need to replace my laptop for school ASAP. I need the internet, adobe reader and some type of word doc/powerpoint program to use. Will this work???
Document: Nerfed versions of other Microsoft Office programs can also be found online, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. Most of the office-like work and note-taking you'd do in school should be covered by these online applications, while reserving specialized programs like MATLAB to desktops (free to use at most schools).&#8226; I tried to connect to my server through SMB or something. Not possible. Some people say they're working on it but I need it now. This was a dealbreaker.
Sykpe is iffy on this and doesn't seem to work. I can write to the other person but they never get my messages. If you use Word doc on a full size laptop you can use Google's version on Chromebook. I found that if i use a USB stick and save my Word docs on it Google docs will open it and I can still type and save it on the USB stick for later use on my laptop. Dropbox also works well to transfer pics from the laptop to the Chromebook.
We bought this for our daughter. With her school being google doc and drive driven, it was a no-brainer. The laptop has a very nice, vibrant screen and an excellent touch keyboard. It did not take us long to catch on to the google specific characteristics.One difficulty is printing. Need a special printer or adapter which we are still researching.Recommended. Would maybe suggest more internal memory, but thumb drives and google drive are key.
If you're looking to play online games, or do anything with Java this isn't for you.However if you're a college kid or just someone who needs a laptop to watch work on word, excel or powerpoint documents, watch netflix, or browse youtube or just the web in general, which great battery life, this is a great laptop for you.
I bought this computer for my fiancee for her school work and it has worked out amazingly well.The beauty and downfall of a Chromebook is that it must always be connected to the internet. While this keeps the Chromebook ALWAYS backed up with the user's Google Drive it can also limit portability to areas with WiFi, any prospective buyer needs to keep this in mind.Quick Hardware overview:The keyboard and trackpad are both fairly well built and are easy to use for typing long papers or doing research projects.
Even I was surprised I could work so fast. But, the truth is this Chromebook is a joy. The keyboard is large enough for my fat fingers so my thoughts just fly onto the screen. Granted, I miss Microsoft Word, as it is so superior for my needs. But, I figured out a way to write and then email my google doc files to myself. I just open those up on my Windows computer, waste many hours reformatting text, but have a finished version to send for publication.
Just want to say that is HP Chromebook is fantastic! I am new to the Chromebook 14 but NOT new to the PC world. I worked for The Big Blue for 26 years and I was sure nothing would replace the laptop PC world. If you want to web surf, type documents, and just have fun on the web. FYI  and yes you can PRINT anytime you want to your local printer and its very easy to set that up, This HP Chromebook is the best you can buy.
I love how easy it is to use! The web browsing is fast and I can go on the internet easily. I use all my schoolwork on this computer now and it makes me more focused! Thank you HP!!! Couldn't have picked a better laptop alternative for school.
Great graphics -- clear and BIOG and even though you don't have word, you can stiull create word, excel powerpoint style documents quite easily and use them. Don't believe the hype about that being difficult! Fear of a chrome Planet...
I love this computer. Although I just got it and started playing around with it, it is super easy to use. I am a college student and this will be awesome for my school work. Everything is on your google drive so no worries about leaving your laptop, you can always have access to your drive! I really like the look of this computer too. it looks a lot like a macbook!!
Answer: Absolutely. Adobe works great and google has a suite of office like products for free and that are wonderfully easy to use
