A:AnswerThank you for the question. You can access your Microsoft 365 apps on a Chromebook from the web — including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, OneNote, OneDrive, and Outlook. To save documents, you'd want to have an external drive, flash drive, or SD card, since Chromebooks typically do not have a lot of onboard storage. And you can also save files to the cloud. Google also has a suite of applications that will work - Google Docs (their version of Word), Google Sheets (their version of Excel), and Google Slides (their version of PowerPoint).
A:AnswerThank you for the question. For a workflow such as you've described, a better fit might be a unit with an i5 processor. 8GB of RAM may be enough, but more would be better.
A:AnswerYes, it is. Because this is a Chromebook, it can only download and run apps that are in the Google Play Store, but the Netflix app is in the store.
A:AnswerBecause this computer is running Windows in "S Mode" it can only download and run apps that are in the Windows Store. If any of your college classes require a specific piece of software (other than something like Word or Excel) you wouldn't be able to install them. I don't think this is a good choice for that kind of use.
A:AnswerThank you for the question. Chromebook laptops utilize the Chrome OS, a "lighter" operating system and can use slower processors. They typically have less RAM and storage than traditional Windows or Mac laptops, but that's not always the case. Chromebooks can do everything most people use a laptop for. This includes browsing the web, social media, email, messaging, watching or listening to streaming media, productivity tasks like word processing or spreadsheets, video chat and remote learning, and even basic photo and video editing. Conventional laptops are better for some niche and professional use cases, including photo rendering and gaming. Chromebooks have security built-in, and Windows laptops need to have security enabled, either through the resident Microsoft Defender or another anti-virus program.
A:AnswerIt means someone purchased it and returned it. It doesn’t necessarily mean there is anything wrong with it but since it’s been opened they cannot resell it as new.
A:AnswerThis computer is WiFi ready for internet connection. For use with 'internet TV', it will depend on which apps you choose to install; you will want to ensure you check the minimum requirements for installation with the application's developer. The USB-C port can function as a display port, so as long as the TV in question can either take a USB-C plug, or an adapter, it can connect to a TV.
