Microsoft Office on a Chromebook
It’s true that you could run Office 365 through the Chrome browser on a Chromebook. But you could not run it offline. That is until now. Office on a Chromebook will allow you to run Microsoft Office 365 apps such as Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint. OneDrive, Teams and even a Bing Browser which looks useful using speech recognition. All these apps can be obtained from Google’s Play Store. And they all run offline ( apart from Bing which needs the internet of course.
This also means the Chromebook has more potential use in schools where WiFi coverage is a problem and therefore a cost effective hardware solution for schools, colleges and universities to consider.

Chromebooks are 10 yrs old today!
Yes, it’s now 10 years since the first chromebooks appeared in the shops . Now with Covid-19 and the need for more digital inclusion the Chromebook is seriously being considered as a viable tool. I have been advocating the use of Chromebook for years. Yes, they are cheap and yes they need wifi but are so so eays to use and setup and the loadtime from startup can be very fast compared to some pc’s.
Let’s hear it for the Chromebook – “Happy 10th Birthday !”
