Hi is there some way for me to stream my desktop computer to the chromebook while I'm at school? Like if I wanted to open up Matlab/Stata remotely

Yes. Use Chrome Remote Desktop, available for free in the Chrome web store.

The Chrome Remote Desktop is described in The Chrome Book (Fourth Edition): The Essential Guide to Cloud Computing with Google Chrome and the Chromebook

I run remote desktop in Chrome on my home PC watching my DishNetwork receiver, which remote desktops over to the Chromebook. Audio is stereo only though and the video is a bit blurred.

Not sure what your red cable is? This is a hdmi to vga adapter. I've successfully connected a laptop to a projector and also to a vga monitor (the resolution automatically adapted). On a Chromebook you get an extended desktop view. I've found this to work well for me.

sort of...you have to get onto Google CloudPrint. my chromebook's instruction manual explicitly says "do not directly hook up to a printer. it won't work." i usually print from computer hooked up to a printer and download the doc i want to print from Google Drive

If your Google Chrome computer acts like my laptop computer using Google Chrome, the answer is yes. I use the external HDMI output on my laptop, so assuming your computer has the same type of HDMI output (or a mini-HDMI output port) then the answer is yes.

You cannot load programs into a Chromebook. It comes with the entire suite of Google office-like apps free.

I currently use this device with my Samsung 3 Chromebook with the ARM processor. Depending upon the HDMI cable used you may need a 5V supply. I went ahead and use a 5V supply then I don't have to worry. Hope this helps.

I can't say with 100% certainty since I haven't tried, but based on the way Chrome OS works, I would say no. Chrome is a cloud - based operating system meaning it relies on web-based applications rather than ones installed on the computer. Any storage space on the Chromebook is probably meant to store local media files rather than programs. This program utilizes a Windows - based executable file which would almost certainly not run on Chrome. You will probably have to find a web-based version of this or an alternative, unless you can find a program that will emulate Windows in the Chromebook. There are emulation programs like VMware and Parallels for Mac that would allow you to do this, but I don't know of any similar programs for Chrome at this point. Good luck in any event.

I can't see why not! I just bought a new Chromebook and a new Samsung TV; it connects perfectly. Although I do not use the cable so much for my notebook, I enjoy it almost every evening for a selective video. I prefer "streaming" any day, it is so convenient! If it doesn't work for you, I believe there is a return policy. I would certainly give shot! Note: And if you are not aware, Amazon has a free "streaming" library for Prime users, which saves on Hulu Plus or Netflix, in addition to free expedited shipping on selected items. Enjoy!

Yes. I have used a USB mouse with my Chromebook and it's exactly the same as a Windows or Mac - just plug and play.

I have never used a chrome computer before so I might not be able to answer this question directly. Having said that, the question back to you would be, does the chrome computer work with any external USB wireless adapter? If the answer is yes, then I would assume that if the Chrome Computer can use an external USB drive that it would be able to use this one.

I use this for a computer with a thunderbolt port (small end of cord) and a TV with HDMI capabilities (which is the large end of the cord). Chromebooks have HDMI and iMacs have thunderbolt ports, so it's just the opposite. I'm not sure if you can use it in that way. Sorry!Can anyone else help??

You should be able to. Read this: https://support.google.com/docs/answer/140784https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/1056325?hl=en

Yes you can, we actually connected our desktop up to it permanently for streaming videos from Netflix and Amazon Prime. We also stream from network tv websites and the NFL. We initially used a laptop or our kids Playstation to stream stuff, all worked great. Keep in mind streaming is dependent on your internet speed as far as quality is concerned. If you get a lot of buffering/stalling while streaming blame your internet connection, not the TV. I hope that helps. By the way, I've had the TV for almost a year now and still recommend it.

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

What does a Google Chromebook here for? It a recorded audio device, and also a playback device, as simple as turn it on, turn it off, plug it to your PC or laptop through USB port: charging, transfer files. No software needed.I used it in the classroom, and the sound is awesome clear and loud on playback!!

I have not got my chromebook handy, but you can connect external mice to it easily (USB or bluetooth). I can see no reason why this should not work without any problems at all.
