Chromebook Help!

I have recently become the proud owner of a Samsung Chromebook, a gift from my sister, and I love it!

It has a few pro's and Con's

Pro's

  • I love how cute it is, how small and light.
  • It boots up in 8 seconds!
  • Connectivity is fast.
  • 8 hour battery life!
  • Lots of free aps.
  • Stores everything in the Cloud.
  • Comes with free, automatic virus protection.
  • Updates itself so no need to install updates.
  • It has a Linux OS and comes with their version of office.
  • Great screen resolution.
  • USB's, SD card slot etc.
  • It's fun!
Con's
  • You have to use a Google Mail account to log on (easily sorted).
  • There is no proper instruction manual, just a quick start guide.
  • It uses Cloud and although this is a great idea and docs are compatible with Microsoft etc, if you need extra storage space you have to pay monthly for it.

I am having a few problems with it however and wonder if anyone can help.

Firstly, because games are played on-line I can't seem to save them. You can download off-line versions but I tried this with Angry Birds but still can't find a way to save levels. Does anyone know how?

Secondary, It has a webcam etc but I don't know if you can connect to skype. I have friends on skype but I don't know how to get it working on the Chromebook or even if it will. Anyone know?

All help appreciated.

Hugs,
