Does it run Microsoft Word? Can I play Diablo 4 on it? Honestly, I don't know, but that's why it's not straightforward.
- smoldesu 3y agoDoes it run in Chrome? That should pretty decisively figure things out for you. It's more straightforward than explaining to people that the 'X' in Xbox stands for DirectX, or that 'i' in iPhone means internet. Chrome is a browser, it runs in a box. It neatly ties two concepts together in a way that the majority of consumers will grok. Is there a more obvious name suggestion that I'm missing here?
- eli 3y agoIt runs Android apps too actually, including Word.
- toast0 3y agoSure, you can run Word in a browser these days, and you can probably run the Android Word too. No, you can't run (easily) Word for Windows, as it's not Windows, nor Word for Mac. Diablo 4 is a definite no. But probably maybe one of the VNC for games services has a frontend that works on Chrome OS; with all of the baggage that comes with. If you're willing to put in work, older chromeboxes make decent, somewhat quirky general purpose PCs that can run FreeBSD or Windows or whatever, but it's still unlikely to play Diablo 4, because it's an intel laptop cpu with integrated graphics.
