exe programs (when will developers learn just to move it all to the cloud) The C302 only has usb c so had to get a dock to connect to monitor and usb a etc. Developer mode and access to developer channel/messing with flags is quite funĬons. Android apps (coming from a die hard Apple user this was tough decision but android app support is pretty good) Great for streaming My ASUS C302 is great as a touchscreen tablet or kindle reader. Yes you can set files to be available offline, I often am when I’m with clients but can access files and create new ones that sync when on WiFi. I tend to open word docs in google docs and keep them in drive, then convert them if necessary. I have an office 365 account from work that I have to use, so I can access that through the browser. I can’t answer about iTunes, as I use Spotify and that runs just fine. That said, if you're heavy into gaming or need specific creative programs, you might want to look elsewhere. If other Chromebooks are anything like this one (and I'm told they compare favorably at lower price points), then it's pretty much a no-brainer. The only downside is it boots up before I've had time to pour my morning cup of coffee, much less drink it, so all the free time I had waiting on my desktop machine to boot is lost to me. For the past six weeks this thing has hardly been out of reach. In the past I've only used a laptop when it was absolutely necessary for travel or business. I've owned a number of computers over the years, including several laptops. I'm pretty sure iTunes for Android will solve your music problem without having to transfer from one place to another.

I'm relatively new to Chrome OS and the Chromebook (Pixelbook) myself, so I can't answer all your questions, but I do know that the Pixelbook works when I'm offline (GMail allows you to read and compose mail offline, for example, and a number of other apps also work offline).
