Offline Apps

No Wifi ? - No Problem

Click here for an Android Police article that explains how you can still use your Chromebook when it is not connected to the internet.

Getting To Grips With The Terminology / Technology

Click here for a really excellent educational video by a vlogger called Eevnos that introduces you to the capabilities of ChromeOS [with particular regard to running applications normally found on other popular systems] both when on-line or in off-line mode [when internet connectivity is not available] making it almost as versatile as a traditional laptop.

Eevnos covers Native Chrome OS Apps, Android Apps, Linux Apps and SOME Windows Apps - and because there is a lot to cover he kindly provided this index :-

00:00 - Introduction

00:41 - Native Chrome OS Apps * See Applications paragraph below.

02:05 - Android Apps

04:39 - Linux Apps

09:05 - Installing SOME Windows Apps

15:32 - Other options and wrap-up

N.B 

You will also find the above index just below the video frame on the Youtube page together with a lot of other useful information that is worth reading, including links to other resources. 

Also Eevnos does point out that not all of these features will run on older, lower specification, Chromebooks. However if you are fortunate enough to own a more powerful model then a lot of what is shown will be available to you. Enjoy !
