A:AnswerHi, Stephan!
No, this is a Chromebook. You can't install programs on it, and its operating system is Chrome OS. Basically a web brower, however these days Chromebooks can run Linux and Android apps, so they are a lot more useful than they use to be. I prefer a Chromebook to a Windows computer, but I understand the hesitation.
