You should run all web-based applications or go through the Chrome browser, and all the relevant source material is stored in the cloud. However, the Chromebook does not have any Windows or Mac applications. It does not even have a built-in DVD drive due to the relatively small hard drive capacity, which means that you can not play DVD directly on a Chromebook.
