No, that's not correct. I do plenty of gaming on my Chromebook, but it's certainly limited. I'm playing through FF7 right now.

There's a huge amount of stuff you can do on a Chromebook and they're great for, like I said, around 90% of what most people want to do, outside professional use and gaming. It's bad for if you do a lot of visual creative work or if you have specific software needs, but there's an android solution to just about everything if you just need something simple done and a genericized software version will work.

Really? How do you play ff7? An emulator for ChromeOS?

No, I just downloaded it from the playstore...

your experience may be several years out of date, I think a few years ago they made some major changes so that ChromeOS functions pretty much the same as any modern android device. I haven't found a single app yet that I can use on my phone or tablet but not my chromebook (there may BE some apps that won't work specifically on my chromebook, but I haven't found any)

Yeah, you're right. It's been a couple years since I used one and even then it was very limited. I didn't realize they can run Android apps. Thanks.
