A:AnswerI use the Chromebook while cooking to watch sports in the kitchen (when kid or wife watching closest TV). On full volume, I can hear it easily but it's in no way "loud" but for a kitchen listening. It has 2 upward facing speakers along the sides of the keyboard. Not detactable (don't think any laptopis) but you can attach a speaker using Bluetooth or via the headphone jack.
A:AnswerAbsolutely, yes you can add your printer and use Google drive. There's also google sheets and all the other google products that you'll find helpful. Hope this helps you!
A:AnswerIf it's placed on a hard surface (so the vents on the bottom aren't blocked), it really won't make much if any difference how the computer is configured. If it's on a soft surface, tent mode would leave the ports free. Yes, it's only got the fan on the left side of the keyboard.
A:AnswerThank you for the question. The Google Play Store has many apps that will assist in managing music and picture files. Note that the onboard storage is 128GB. You'll probably want to use cloud storage (a one-year subscription to Google One is included - 100 GB) or use an external storage drive (flash drive, SD card).
A:AnswerThank you for the question. Per Quick Books compatibility page, "QuickBooks can work on Chromebooks. But there are limitations. QuickBooks Online can be accessed on the Google Chrome web browser. But the desktop and enterprise versions like QuickBooks Pro, Premier, and Enterprise Solutions need to be used with the native Windows operating system.". With a Chromebook you'd use Runit mobile for Android.
A:AnswerThank you for the question. We would recommend visiting the Linux forums online to search for your hack solution. You can also reach out to Geek Squad directly for assistance.
A:AnswerIt's generally enough for a college student starting out. The computer only has one NVMe m.2 slot for a SSD, so to expand the capacity, you'd need to have someone do a full backup of the current drive, replace it with a higher-capacity drive, and then restore your existing software.
