There are multiple LaTeX editors available on the Chrome Web Store, although I don't know if they'll work offline. Otherwise, you can always run Ubuntu on this by using the "crouton" script, and use all the LaTeX tools of Ubuntu offline.

Yes, you can. There are a number of online word processors to choose from, but my favorite is Google's own Docs. It has tools for headings and footnotes that are flexible and very easy to use.

You can use Google Docs offline to create and edit papers, spreadsheets and presentations. You can even save them to a flash drive and take the file to another computer. Google Docs supports many different file formats including .DOC

You can connect to anything bluetooth, however depending on what you are using the Chromebook for, I may or may not recommend using it. If this would be used for any kind of school, I strongly recommend against it. It uses no sort of applications useful for school except Chrome and Google Drive -- which most professors won't even accept papers from Drive since the formatting is so odd compared to Word. If all you are using this for is recreational internet browsing and brainstorming, then buy it. Chrome OS does not support any major applications. You cannot use any Microsoft components or Apple components on Chrome OS. It is pretty useless.

Google docs is an amazing platform! I use it a a studen at my Master degree. I don't know if the transition to Google docs will be easy for your husband! Now Google docs also works offline now so there is no need for constand Internet connection! Google drive auto backup is great for your work to be secure! Also keyboard is great on this system! So it can work as long as there is no need for extra windows app. :-)

You can connect but won't be able to print because you can't put the printer driver/software on the Chromebook. Options include buying a Chrome Printer, or what I do is email myself the document and then print from my cellphone using an app called PrinterShare.

*the chrome book will connect to it. (sorry I miss clicked answer before I finished)

yes, you can. HP make it very easy to scan wirelessly. However, after a week, mine had an issue with a multi-page scanning.

I'd recommend getting a Google cloud printer. Be cautious of compatibility because I have an hp printer that would not connect to the Chromebook without hooking up Google Cloud Print and a whole lot of other nonsense.

Absolutely. I'm a writer and I use Google Docs and the Chromebook. I take it everywhere and all my documents and research and notes are available wherever I go.

I do not nor will I have a google chromebook machine. Hence, I have not tried it using that machines OS.

the easiest way I found (but it probably applies to someone like me who prints something very sporadically) is to work on your chromebook and then use an android device (or IOS i believe) to print directly from the device to a Wireless printer, or through google cloud print but in this last case you have the restrictions Ragnar wrote in his answer.

Not sure what a Google Chrome book notebook is. That being said I use the speakers with a desktop. They work great. They are plugged into a usb port. They do have a volume adj on one of the speakers

You can take notes on it, but you can't scroll back to previously saved pages. You need to send them to your phone via blue tooth or connect to a compuer with usb. I'm more apt to use it in a situation when using a computer/laptop isn't as feasible. I work in the field and take notes, then go back to the office to print out or read them. I can't easily use a laptop, nor will my work pay for a tablet type device.

Yes, the HL-L2380DW supports "Google Cloud Print" which allows you to print from Chromebooks or anywhere you are signed into the Google Chrome web browser. The manual is not entirely clear how to set this up, but once you have the printer connected to your router, open up your a web browser on your laptop and go to the printer's IP address (something like "192.168.1.3"; you'll find it printed on the sheet that prints after you connect the printer to your router). This will load up the printer's web interface and you will go to "Network", then "Protocol", then click the "Advanced" button near Google Cloud Print. This will walk you through the registration process. Once it is setup, you can use your Chromebook anywhere (like a coffee shop) and when you go to print, it will print to this printer at home.

You must contact Cricket for service details; by phone is preferred and the technical support or sales department. It does not work with Chrome books.

It must be designed that way. Chromebooks must be set to sleep when you have an inactive keyboard for a certain period of time. I have not found a solution in my search.
