Q: Questioncompatible with WordI use Word for word processing on a PC; how is WP handled by Chromebook? Can it access documents on file created with Word?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer There are multiple word processing apps available on the marketplace. The one I have used that resembles word almost exactly is called Nexusinstallfree which allows you to create Word documents,powerpoint presentations, and Excel worksheets. The pro of this app is that it is free, as opposed to Microsoft office which can cost over 100 dollars. The downside of this app is that you MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET TO USE IT. There may be a processor like word that works offline but I have yet to find one. There are word processors like notepad that work offline, but as you probably know these are very basic. By the way you can open Word documents and presentations on a chromebook(without the app). Sent from my chromebook.

Q: QuestionSecurity Software??Does it have any security software pre-loaded? What protection do you have against hackers and malware?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Additional security software is not needed with Chrome OS because it was designed to be secure. Chrome devices include the following security features: Automatic updates - Chrome device administrators manage updates automatically so Chrome devices are always running the latest and most secure versions. Sandboxing - On a Chrome device, each web page and application runs in a restricted environment called a sandbox. So if the Chrome device is directed to an infected page, it can’t affect the other tabs or apps on the computer, or anything else on the machine. The threat is contained. Verified Boot - When a Chrome device starts up, it does a self check called Verified Boot. If it detects that the system has been tampered with, or corrupted in any way, it will repair itself, taking the Chrome device back to an operating system that’s as good as new. Data Encryption - When using web apps on a Chrome device, all important data is stored safely in the cloud. Certain kinds of files, like downloads, cookies, and browser cache files, may still be present on the computer. The Chrome device encrypts this data using tamper-resistant hardware, making it very difficult for anyone to access those files. Recovery Mode - If anything goes wrong with a Chrome device, you can simply push a button to enter recovery mode and restore the operating system to a known good version.

Q: QuestionHow much RAM is it upgradeable to?I know it only has 2gb of RAM pre-installed. Is it upgradeable? If so, how much?
Asked by Jordan.
- A:Answer The Samsung Chromebook is non-upgradable. However, the traditional relationship between performance and RAM on Windows won't apply here. You will not require a huge reserve of RAM for managing virtual memory or paging and the OS uses much less of the RAM to manage itself than Windows does. I guess a good analogy is how a lighter car doesn't need the torque a heavier car does.

Q: Questionwhat's the difference between the larger SATA HDD and the 16G solid state?I am comparing the $199 model to the $249 chromebook.
Asked by richard.
- A:Answer There are two main differences, one which you have pointed out. The SATA HDD has more storage space. More room for movies, photos, documents, etc. available on your local storage rather than on cloud storage such as google drive. This has an advantage if you are planning on using the Chromebook a lot offline, which if that is the case you really need to reconsider getting a Chromebook. The other main difference is speed. The Solid state drive is much faster than the SATA HDD. This affects the boot times, the Chromebook with the Solid State drive will boot and resume from sleep much faster. You will also notice better performance with more tabs open in the browser. When you have more tabs open then can fit in memory it will start cache the data to the physical storage. The solid state will be able to return this data to memory much faster than the HDD. Overall, you are looking at Chromebooks, you should not be concerned about the amount of storage and be more concerned with the performance. In this case the $250 Samsung Chromebook wins.

Q: Questioncan i use skype with this?
Asked by jen.
- A:Answer No, Skype does not offer a browser-based interface yet so it won't work. However, Google Talk / Voice / Hangouts offer Skype-like functionality and there's no cost at all for US calls. I suggest you give Google Voice a shot.
