no idea. I am not in love with this laptop, mainly because of windows 8. I generally use my chrome book and an old laptop with an older windows instead.

Not out of the box. You have to load a BIOS that has everything Windows needs (see http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/03/review-asus-brings-chrome-os-to-mini-pcs-in-a-low-power-inexpensive-package/) It's none trivial and not entirely stable. And given the specifications, this is a woefully underpowered machine to run Windows. Linux stripped down or Chrome OS? It flies (Mine has 6GB of RAM everything else is stock and I'm a power user. No lag, great performance. I use it as my primary system every day now).

You can use it but Chrome has some drawbacks with DoD certificates. So, if you aren't using for DoD access you should be fine. The hardware works as expected and I have 2 of them.

ASUA CHROMEBOX = comes with chrome. you need to research and find out what chromebox/chrome OS is capable of. Same goes for the people asking about "can you install ___ (program) on it?" It is basically google implemented browser based operating system that let you most, if not all of the google account related stuff : word processing via googledocs, gmail, google hangout....etc. other than the applications from google store(on line only) no, you cannot install other software. and it is not apple/MAC.

Using this as a web browser is painfully inadequate. I suggest buying Chromecast instead. It'a a dongle that lets you broadcast any webpage that you're viewing on Google Chrome onto your HDTV. Price is only $29.99 right now on Amazon. Works amazingly well!

Yes it is. You can even use Chrome to handle crhome cast and see the browser screen on the tv.

It is Chrome based so will do anything windows would do BUT don't buy it. It's a piece of junk. I bought five and within a month four were broken.

Yes to chrome. I have not tried Firefox. I haven't found anything that runs on a Windows laptop that will not run on the W510P.

No. This simply runs the Chrome browser. Google Music works beautifully though.

You really can't download or install anything on a chromebook. You only will have a chrome web browser to do anything with.

No !! Chrome is Linux based. Chrome is great for basic virus resistant web based lap or notebook operating system. Stay with a MAC or Windows upper level laptop. Chrome is very basic. Hope this helps.

I've had no problem using IE and Mozilla Firefox; I assume Chrome would be fine also.

Yes. It has the google play store so you are able to install whichever browser you want. Then you are able type the URLs directly

Internet,yes. Adobe reader, yes its an app available. You cannot install any programs. You can only install the apps and extensions available at the google site. Built into the Chromebook are apps that do docs and spreadsheets.

There is no web browser, there are "APPS" designed around some web pages like Facebook and Wikipedia, but no browser that lets you go to any web page, there are also "APPS" designed around some streaming sites like Crackle, YouTube and Vimeo.

I haven't had any problems yet. I was used to windows vista so the way its organized takes some getting use to. I noticed my Chrome is not working right but the Internet icon is fine. It claims to have its own malware protection built in. No problems there so far. Hope this was helpful.
