What operating system does a modern Google Chromebook use?

A Chromebook runs ChromeOS, Google's operating system built around the Chrome browser and web applications. Some models also support Android apps and Linux development tools, depending on hardware and software support.

Can a Chromebook run Microsoft Office files?

Chromebooks can open and edit many Microsoft Office files through Microsoft 365 on the web, Google Workspace, or compatible Android apps. Compatibility is strongest for common documents, while advanced macros and desktop-only features may require Windows.

Are Chromebooks good for school and web-based work?

They are commonly used for browsing, email, Google Classroom, document editing, and video calls. The right model still depends on battery life, screen size, keyboard quality, storage, and whether the school requires Windows-only software.
