I'm not experienced with other things, but pretty sure Chromebook is still a PC. Yes, it can download mods, like regular PCs.
A Chromebook is a type of laptop computer.The things that make a Chromebook different from most other laptop computers is that is runs Chrome OS which is intended to operate as a network based cloud computing client. Most programs for the Chromebook (unlike on standard laptops) usually do not run on the Chromebook itself, instead they run on a server computer at some site on the internet and the user interface is all that runs on the Chromebook as a client of that server computer.
Yes. Since Study Island is browser-based, and can run on Chrome, which is integrated into a Chromebook, it should be possible to run the software.
You cannot run any PC games on a Chromebook.You can only run games written for Chrome OS on a Chromebook.
You cannot install linux on a Chromebook, you can only run it as a chroot.
Yes, the Chromebook can or should be able to run Flash (and HTML5) content. If you're talking about Flash drives, it can read most of those too.
In a way yes but you can still do things like word processing. Wrong, you can get just about any software you want, but the ChromeBook was designed as a Netbook client so much of the software will reside (and often run) on a remote server. However there is a small amount of software that can be installed and run directly.
Short answer, no. You can run a few versions of Linux as chroot environments on a Chromebook, but you cannot erase the ChromeOS system and install Linux natively.
It cannot run console games but pc games then yes
Except for very simple things, yes.The Chromebook and its operating system Chrome OS were designed to operate as clients over the internet to cloud based servers, which is where most programs for Chromebooks actually run (not native on the Chromebook itself as on other laptops). As Chromebooks access the internet using wifi, they cannot access the cloud based servers without wifi and will not be able to work for any programs that actually run on those servers.
Sorry, this is not possible.You might be able to find a way to run some version of Linux though, but it won't be easy.
You don't. You buy a Chromebook.
