Can you install Open Office on this laptop? null

No, you cannot install Open Office natively on a Chromebook. Google Docs, which functions in a very similar way (and offer a suite of Docs for Word Processing, Sheets for spreadsheets, and Slides as a Power Point alternative) runs natively, automatically backs files up to your Google Drive, and can be set up to be run offline (with updates sync'ing to your Google Drive when you get online.) You also can run Microsoft Office's free online suite which functions very similarly. Also, apps like Google Keep, Pocket, and Microsoft OneNote can be integrated with the Chromebook to save your various notes and to clip/link online articles you may want to come back to for reference at a later time.

I would say no; however, I am not certain. It is essentially google chrome-just google chrome. It has Google Docs and all that.

There's a version of open office by rollapp (not apache): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/apps

"Well, maybe," is the answer! This computer is not a Windows or a Mac or even a Linux computer--it's a Chromebook, and Chromebooks usually aren't designed to add software like those other kinds of computers . However, this model of computer lets you install Android phone apps on it. Sometimes those Android apps work, sometimes they don't. There's a version of OpenOffice called AndrOffice which you might be able to use on this Chromebook, but I don't know how well it works.

No, Open Office is no compatible with Chrome operating system.
