I have 3 other chromebooks. For playing Netflix and youtube, it is fine. It can only play basic web based games. You cannot install any games or other software like you can on a Windows PC.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It won't play most games, it needs more power.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, it can be used to play games. I don't know if People request not aware or what, but you can enable Google Play store on this Chromebook and use Android apps on the Chromebook. This includes Microsoft Word, Android games, Google actually gives you an app and all of its in app purchases, totaling $60 (Asphalt 8). You can even download the Minecraft app and play it on this Chromebook. I have download several apps and haven't had any problems running any of them. Check for an update to your Chrome OS and then it should prompt you if you want to enable Google Play store. For those more accustomed to Android, you can even sideload Android apps (enable install from outside sources). I can not get Show Box to work, but Mobdro works just fine. It plays my DirecTV Now service fine as well. Make sure to download. There is an updated version of this Chromebook from Samsung that has 4GB Ram and 32GM Memory. The new version will be $120 on Black Friday.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Do a quick Google search for 'Chromebook uses" or "chrome os." It's perfect for YouTube and anything you can open in the Google browser. I can't see being able to use Musicly on anything but a mobile device.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Musical.ly is more of an app made for mobile devices but the chromebook will work for everything else.
